automatic source search and addition to list

Post by deadude32 » 2004-05-24 02:58

If i want to search for alternative sources on files i have to select each file indivudally and select "search for alternatives" This is a very annoying process. I relize that being able to search for alternatives on all files at the same time could overload hubs (if you could select all your queue files and select "search for alternatives" althought I would like this) why couldn't there be a feature to constantally check for source alternatives to your queue files. Weather this this would done with traditional search or TTH searching i dont know but this would be helpful. I hate laboring over this searching.

The feature you're looking for is "Automatically search for alternative download locations", and it's under Settings > Advanced


Multiple searches won't overload hubs - it will get you ignored by all other DC++ clients, and likely kicked from hubs (or having searches subsequent to the first dropped).


Mass-matching of a given source's share with your download is exactly why "match queue" was enabled - there are also options to turn that on/off for autosearch hits.
