Easy user-selecting in property screens

Post by Trapper » 2004-05-23 14:49

I'd like to be able to choose from which user I'm downloading, rather than DC++ just picking the first one online. It should pick the fastest instead. What about a 'properties' window for each file in which I can choose/delete/compare users for each file.
When it's downloading FileLists it can easily compare the speeds for each user. (Now I have to monitor manually which go fastest and then delete every user that is slow by right clicking - 20 times for 20 slow users :? )

It could also be set in this properties window that DC++ skips to another user if speed drops below a configurable level. And that being able to adjust for each file. So rare files will get a high speed and common files a low speed.

This will all make the queue.xml file a bit longer, but I think it would be great. There are so many fast slots around - it's just very difficult to find them.

And what about more seperate download upload progress screens? And one extra for the file lists that are downloading? It gets so messed up when DC++ tries to download file lists from many users.

Perhaps it is not new what I am proposing but I couldn't find a similar subject.

And...? Is it going to be implemented? And how long will it take to the new version? Can't find that...

Anyway... thanks for the fast reply.

If they're in the tracker, they haven't been rejected. They're on the schedule to be implemented - that's all that can be said.
