DC++ v0.866

Look Im fed up with you guys saying 0.699 is a stable version. Its not! 0.699 shows all kickmessages that normally should be shown in the lower kickbar, in mainchat. This makes it very hard for users to follow a conversation when OPs are kicking and banning. And really hard to recieve help in mainchat. <br/> <br/>Latest stable release is 0.691 and everybody that uses dc a lot knows that. The best and most stable release is 0.674 a good client really.

Kept freezing up for me on "Remove user from queue"
RE-installed 0.674

Many new features, but far to unstable compared to 0674. Tried Fuldc, but that one is really ugly. Dc++ is the best Ive tried.

Great :D

GOOOOOOD!

it`s a very good prog

Following the crowd, Thanks

thanks

thanks

Thanks!!

thanks

I use the fulDC 6.66 variation of this software, and I can say that it is a very good program to use.

I was able to find and obtain many hard to find objects in a matter of weeks, and just about Everything I get is fully working and mostly good quality.

I love it.

And for the record, if it's really a concern to view a specific file you're getting, all you have to do is go to the Incomplete folder, drag out the file you want to somewhere like the desktop, and have some media player open it up. Most of the time it will work, if not all the time, that's how I do it. Late.

thenks

very good

super super fine software

very very good

This is the KING

super:P

This needs a method of limiting the upload speed.

this is average but NEBULA oDC is better

this software allows me to excess to files i only dreamed of.

Very very very Good!!

I'd say that the biggest drawback to the latest verion of the software (While I am a supporter of DC++ in general, the best out there IMHO) really outweighs the positives.

That is that incomplete downloads are not readable, viewable etc...Incomplete downloads are saved in a new 'Incomplete Folder' as a DCTMP file that will not translate into an 'MP3', 'avi' or 'mpeg' file until the file is completely downloaded...So, if you want to check and confirm whether you want the file or even enjoy it, you'll have to wait until it is completely downloaded thereby wasting your time really.

I assume the new twist is a result of trying to prevent users from sharing incomplete files or perhaps it is a way to disguise downloads?...Either way, it's a new feature that appears to be here to stay...My advice, stick to the older build (0.401 etc.)

yes .. is goog ! Adi

for the first time i did not want to use dc++ and to be honest when i tried i hated it. it is a little more complicated than soulseek, kazaa, i had to get used to it. ive used it for about a year now and i found other versions of it, kinda like scripts for mIRC, with more things included in it. the only thing in DC++ is that it doesnt support multiple source downloading, in other words ure downloading the same file from more person at a time. in DC++ you can have more sources, but its not able to use more than one at a time (i dont know if its still like that in the newer version or not, i havent used the original version since the begining and trying period) therefore, ure download speed is going to depend on the one source ure downloading from which is not a very good thing for broadband users. im currently using nextDC++, it is a hungarian version, i dont know if there is and english version or not, but u can find different DC++ clients that support multiple source downloading. the basic idea of the system is that there are servers called hubs, just like the irc network. you get on a hub and u find ureself in a big chatroom, with the nicklist on the right(very similar to an irc chatroom). on the bottom u have ure little tabs for ure windows uve opened. ure main windows mostly: public hubs,favorite hubs,download queue, the main hub windows(the chatroom) and ure searching windows. hubs have different "minimum sharing size" limits, in other words there is a given X Gb u have to share in order to get into a hub, and each hub has its own rules and stuff. u can connect to more hub at a time, but they also limit the "number of upload slots/hubs" ratio. if ure connected to about 5-6 hubs with about 300Tb shared files on each ure good :) now u can start searching... u can choose what ure looking for, video,audio,cd image, etc.. and u search. it will give u the found stuff on all of the hubs ure connected to(it can be a pretty long list) now u found what u need, start to download. try to choose the file that has the most sources, try to concentrate on the file size, not the filename because if youre using a client with multiple source downloading support, it will not download anything that is less or more than ure chosen file. if u dont have a client that supports multi source dl, u may want to choose the kind of file described above, therefore u have more options if one of ure sources go offline. i usually have a download limit at about 400k/s because i dont want my connection to be 100% busy and save my bandwidth for my other apps, but when u have about 60 sources to download from in the same time(with an average upload of 30k/s which is not that much), it can add up to a pretty nice downloading speed on your side let me tell you:) i think this program(with the extra options the clients have) is currently the best for downloading pretty much anything. It can be really really fast, u can use your bandwith as much as u like, u can continue downloading anytime u want, and if once u get used to it, u wont use any other programs. now i talked so much good and pretty about it, there is the other side. i have recieved 2 emails(included in the thread about the "FBI to join in fight against P2P piracy" that i just posted) already from my isp(cogeco cable) that included a forwarded mail from columbia records inc, informing them that i downloaded their copyrighted movies through dc++ hubs. how is it possible? i dont really know, but their date on my downloading was about a week after i downloaded it. They included my ip, the hubs ip, my login name, time, date, exact filename...(u can check it in the mail) supposebly there are privacy bots watching the activities on hubs... i already talked to some of the operators and they knew about it already and told me that actions have already been taken place, but what about the rest of the public and private hubs? im a little concerned and not to mention my parents when they read the email... i dont know how serious this is probably not that serious(lets hope), but its better to be scared than opening the door to some ppl who want take my comp away or something. ive only recieved mails from columbia pictures inc, none from any other companies and i assume that only theyre wasting money on stupid things like this....anyways im a little off the subject, but i think this might be useful for u guys.
Overall:
I highly recomend the prog to everyone, if not for a longer period, at least give a try, personally the original DC++ was not on the top of the list, but the other clients with lots of useful features are really good. Considering the piracy problem, if ure paranoic, dont use it because it can really scare you(or your parents):)
Thanks if ure still reading, i hope i could help and give some guidelines, if u have comments or wanna share ure thoughts with me i would appreciate it: frakk@hotmail.com
