released mod-s8 of ApexDC++

[SMT 0]

project homepage is http://sourceforge.net/projects/apexdcspeedmod/

here is a version history:

mod-s1-s4:

based on ApexDC 0.2.2

favorite users page extended, added 'ignore private messages from user',

upload mode for user:

- NORMAL - as without modification

- BANNED - user always gets 'no slots available'

- SUPERUSER - total upload speed limit not applied to this user

- 2K, 3K, 5K, 8K, 12K, 16K, 24K, 32K, 64K - limit upload speed for this user

mod-s5:

increased max count of segments (from 10 to 200)

should be set manually in 'settings'

mod-s6:

based on ApexDC 0.3.0

mod-s7:

sending same message to all selected users, for ex. "hey, give me slot plz"

works from search page and tranfers view. select users and choose

'send private message'

mod-s7.1:

- exceptionsinfo.txt not overwritten by next crash report, appending

- PDB-file available for downloading. if you want to help developing

my mod of ApexDC, plese download PDB and unpack archive to program directory

- exceptionsinfo.txt created even without PDB-file, it contains registers dump

- fixed bug, when all downloads freeze in 'connecting' state

(when in active 'direct connection' mode)

mod-s8:

- fixed bug - cancel didn't work on mass sending private messages. now it works.

to just open all private windows to all selected users without sending anything,

type empty message

- added 'DNS' columns to hub users list, tranfers list and search page.

by DNS, it's easy to find out user's internet provider and probably location.

there are 3 modes for resolving ip's into domain names:

0 - disabled

1 - resolve immediately, client may slow down (though cache used)

2 - put ips in queue and resolve in background. when this ip used again, it's

domain name displayed immediately

unfortunately, mode not configurable in GUI. edit Settings/DCPlusPlus.xml like this:

<DCPlusPlus>

<Settings>

<NsLookupMode type="int">2</NsLookupMode>

<NsLookupDelay type="int">100</NsLookupDelay>

</Settings>

</DCPlusPlus>

NsLookupDelay is minimal delay time (in ms) between DNS queries

if nothing specified, default mode is 2 with delay=100 ms

(note for developers: DNS feature marked in sources with !SMT!-IP tag)

Congrats on your mod but dont you think that 200 segments are too much?By doing one user's favour you take slots from another normal dc user.And i dont think that posting such topic in this forum is very good idea - probably it'll be deleted after several hours.(after all your steeling apex's users)

Argh, I must say I'm getting jealous.

Congrats SMT.

Well, he gives only alternative, and not violating the license. We have far more "stealing posts" staying for a long time.

About no. of segments... It helps you get the file faster, release the source faster, distribute faster. It is all relative.

I'll leave that for Lee to decide.

There's a few things interesting in this mod that could be ported over, but since we don't support the 200 segments, we shouldnt discuss this here.

Good luck with your mod. If you want to keep the developers informed (I'm sure that what you're doing rather than advertising?) then just PM Crise or me. ^_^
