  1. I think I've made a mistake, not sure 100%, because it's been a while since, when I said that in XP it still did not autoscroll. I think I was misleaded because the "Downloads folder" was not properly set to point to a valid folder.

    I've checked 1.3.1 in a VM XP a few seconds ago and it seems to have this autoscrolling feature to the implicit "Downloads" folder.

    Would this help to enable autoscrolling on win7?

    PS: One good thing is that my Apex moves well now on Win7, even with 90 hubs. I don't know what was the cause to that slow motion, the only thing I did was to remove the Read-Only checkbox from the "Incomplete" folder and to compress it. I don't even know why it was set to read-only in the first place(nor who did it).


  2. I've checked in a VM, and version 1.3.1 doesn't autoscroll in XP, either. But version 1.2.1 does the autoscrolling that I'm talking about(see the first post, and the pictures).

    In conclusion, this is not a Win7 related problem. Can you readd the autoscrolling/autoselecting feature back?


  3. You do understand that these differences, as you said yourself, are caused by the switch from XP to Win7.

    While I can't say that all of them are necessarily issues we can't do anything about, you have to understand that these differences do originate from the underlying OS and not from the program itself (apart from minimize to tray, but that has been sorted in next version).

    I understand that there are differences, and I assuem that autoscroll feature lack might be due to Win7.

    But I don't understand why does it react so slow. I thought that Win7 has a better resources management.


  4. Hi,

    I'm running a 32 bit version of ApexDC++ on Win7 x64.

    It feels bay far, less snappy than in XP SP2 x86. It takes longer to connect to hubs, scrolling through a a large number of results is not fluent as it was in XP' downloading/connecting to 100hubs makes it less responsive, and it hangs a lot. Hubs that disconnect, also make it lag/hang a lot.

    Everything that you do, when you are connected to 100hubs, isn't smooth. In XP it was. :)

    Also, in Win7, it doesn't want to go to system tray. Running it in XP SP3 mode(so that it would minimize to tray) could cause some problems, if ApexDC++ lags/hangs, you couldn't go to desktop until you end the program.

    There's also this problem when selecting more than one file and clicking Download to=> Browse, it doesn't autoscroll to the downloads folder like it did in XP. I've attached 2 pictures to understand what I'm

    trying to say.

    The first one shows the window that would appear in Win7, no autoscroll to the Downloads folder, and the second one shows how it would appear in WinXP, with autoscroll to the Downloads folder. This is important when downloading many files into different subfolders located in Downloads folder. It takes less time when you have the Downloads folder right in your face. :)

    For example, I like to download pictures, and many of them have the same name, so I'd have to download them in different subfolders. Now I have to scroll myself everytime.

    My PC has a Q8300 CPU, 4GB RAM, 640GB HDD, etc, so I don't think that the config would have anything to do with these issues.

  5. Hi,

    When I try to enable DHT from the Advanced Settings tab, I get an error:

    [19:27:48] DHT bootstrap error: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

    (http://strongdc.sourceforge.net/bootstrap/?cid=HJ5P5VVQSETM2P4JIFFFZYWPIZFV3MB7IVNMY3I&encryption=1&u4=6250)

    ApexDC++ has all the activity allowed in my firewall and I don't have a router.

    What's the problem?


  6. I have 2 downloads folders: Downloads and Downloads2.

    Since march, this is the 4th time when my "Downloads" disappears and all it's content is moved to "FileLists" folder, in a folder named after a filelist file, a recent (downloaded fileslist file).

    To be more specific: C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Downloads\ disappears and all its content is moved to

    C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Settings\FileLists\[RO][CLIKNET]jeanreno.PWPA7EN7TIS3TENTJWNFOYXHYZB47TZJQ6EPRFI\

    ([RO][CLIKNET]jeanreno.PWPA7EN7TIS3TENTJWNFOYXHYZB47TZJQ6EPRFI, the name of this folder varied, each time it was the name of a recently downloaded filelist)

    Why is this happening?

    I'm afraid not to lose my files.


  7. what should I do?

    How can I identify the hub?

    Sometimes ApexDC++ is making ~3000 TCP connections on a single IP, and a single port.

    The IP and the port varies from time to time.

    Right now, it's doing this again, and I can't even control apex, it doesn't respond....


  8. In 2 days I've got 4 freezes, while downloading at high speeds.

    There's no exceptioninfo, since I had to close it with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

    All I'm worried about is not to get my queue corrupted by these random freezes.


  9. The restart won't do the trick....

    I don't understant what causes it; for examenple, there isn't much difference between writing: "movies ROOT" and "movie ROOT", and yet this causes the files to appear or dissappear.

    The problem is that I have lots of files in this situation(stupid me, what was I thinking when I decided to mass sort my queue list), and I don't know how to identify those that aren't shown.


  10. I had a particular file in my queue(which is quite big, it contains thousands of files) called "a.avi";

    In "queue.xml", it looked like this:

    <Download Target="C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Downloads2\a.avi Size="730290176" Priority="0" Added="1244291198" TTH="XCLBK2VV3H4GA4Q4XD3553WTVVDCOCUY7GWPC6Q" AutoPriority="1" MaxSegments="8">

    <Source CID="LBN45H3BCNWOUCX6MQVU6DFZPQ7D736SEWAVOSA" Nick="[DE][uPC]VasileV"/>

    </Download>

    I've decided to move it to "C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Downloads2\movies ROOT\1\". After I moved it there, ApexDC++ did not show it anymore in my queue.

    I've opened the Queue.xml file with notepad++ and the entry was there(and of course, ApexDC continued not to show it):

    <Download Target="C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Downloads2\movies ROOT\1\a.avi Size="730290176" Priority="0" Added="1244291198" TTH="XCLBK2VV3H4GA4Q4XD3553WTVVDCOCUY7GWPC6Q" AutoPriority="1" MaxSegments="8">

    <Source CID="LBN45H3BCNWOUCX6MQVU6DFZPQ7D736SEWAVOSA" Nick="[DE][uPC]VasileV"/>

    </Download>

    I've renamed manually , "movies ROOT" to "movie ROOT" like this:

    <Download Target="C:\Program Files\ApexDC++\Downloads2\movie ROOT\1\a.avi Size="730290176" Priority="0" Added="1244291198" TTH="XCLBK2VV3H4GA4Q4XD3553WTVVDCOCUY7GWPC6Q" AutoPriority="1" MaxSegments="8">

    <Source CID="LBN45H3BCNWOUCX6MQVU6DFZPQ7D736SEWAVOSA" Nick="[DE][uPC]VasileV"/>

    </Download>

    and....surprise, ApexDC started showing the "a.avi" file in my queue.

    Where's the catch?

    My even bigger problem is that in reality there was more then the a.avi, file; there were more like 1000 files in various folders, and I moved them to various folders, and of course I don't know which are the ones that Apex keeps on not showing, and even if I did, I couldn't manually edit the Targets for each one.

    Someone please help me on this one, it's pretty urgent.


  11. It seems that those IPs are related to some WoW servers, and my ApexDC++ client is used to flood them on port 3724.

    Who could be able to control my DC client to do these things?

    I thought that I was being attacked on port 3724, but it's the other way, my client is used to attack some addresses on port 3724.


  12. I don't have port 3724 set in ApexDC's settings, but everytime I use ApexDC++, Outpost firewall shows lots of simultaneous connections(over 100, from a single IP) for ApexDC++ on this port.

    Yesterday, for example I blocked that specific IP address, but today, it's a new IP, blocked this one too. I'm 101% sure, that tomorrow it will be a new IP.

    Any ideas?
