Multiple Source Downloads for DC++

[napho]

Reverse Connect is a P2P client. It uses DC++ as codebase and add below features :

secure user identification to anti leechers
search by file hash
multiple sources download simultaneously
memory mapping files

multi-source downloading is great...

but i don't think many people will buy into this in the world of DC(++)...

having upwards of a terabyte of shared files is becoming easier (and more common)

who wants to sit and wait to hash all those files?

The beauty is that it doesn't

it only does hashes of files you want, not the files that don't need to be hashed

very cool

ooh, clever.

That's somthing to consider...I think that's about the only feature that I don't like on DC++, the fact that mulitsource downloading is not an option.

Can this work over top BCDC++? I like the added functionality of BCDC++ and don't want to lose it but would like to enjoy the feature of multi-source downloads.

Ya this definitely kicks ass

Hey guys what do I copy and paste into the original "dc++ folder" besides the .exe lol

I dont want to miss anything

[method77]

did you try it notbob?

[notbob]

did you try it notbob?

Yeah

i just wanted to see if it hashed everything, and it doesn't

someone else in the hub gave it the sign of approval, as i don't do public p2p, and nobody has anything i want anyway

What word on this from hub owners in general? Hating it, loving it, or banning ppl for it?

I gonna give try too, but gonna start hashing stuff in small doses since I have tons of avi files.

what can they do?

for all intents and purposes it's regular dc++

as for hashing, it doesn't hash your files at all--just the stuff you want

[rctempire]

Ive tried it its a good program and i heard of this ages ago but its a good app but ill stick with dc++

[thorpepie]

question from an idiot...

how exactly can i get it working

i downloaded reverse connect and searched for a file and found several identical ones.. what now ????

[muffenme]

:fire

I used it yesterday DC++ and what I try to download wasn't downloading, I think is like WinMX Remote Queue. Everything and left it go for about 3 hour without 1 kB downloaded. I know how to search and I can see all the servers out there and can get a list of what they have but no downloads.

:hole

That's brilliant, I really like it. I didn't think this was ever going to be made possible. Thanks or pointing it out to me.

I just thought I would mention this, since I had the information at hand:

Multi-source downloading, while seemingly available, is not error-proof yet from what I've read.

Read http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7486 and pay special attention to GargoyleMT's comments. He is a major contributor to DC++ and BCDC++, so I am fairly sure he knows what he's talking about.

BCDC++ is in the process of making multi-source downloads a reality, and the first step is a robust hashing system. Tigertree hashing is being used right now, and while it is a very CPU-intensive deal, once it's done, everything is fine.

What it boils down to is, while there is multi-source DL out there, it isn't for precision files (like ISOs). You can use it for music and video, since it will just create artifacts that normally won't affect operation.

Hope the info was helpful,

well if you like DC++, RC++ and BCDC++ then you will love zDC because it is a combination of all 3.

Very stable, with client emulation for DC++, RC++ or zDC depending on the requirements of the hub you connect to.

You can get the English or Italian versions at http://xoomer.virgilio.it/popslutor/

You need to see if they have any slots free before you download

[kiwibank]

going to try it right now..thanx for info..

multi-source downloading is great...




Can be, imoho filesharing is better when you have single downloads from a single file. Better file integrity.
