2 features: 1 big, 1 small!

Post by cherrio » 2003-11-26 00:09

Hi,

first off, class program, IMO the best P2P prog out there, well done:)

Ok, my 2 suggestions/features,

1 (small), in the "Download Queue", add a new column beside the "Size" one, stating amount downloaded, maybe "downloaded size", just handy to know (more for when a user is offline (not currently downloading) and want to see how much you got).

2. The big one! (Probably been suggested before, what hasn't;) )Would love if this got done. (Drum roll please!)

A web interface for DC++, for example if I am in college or work, away from my computer (at home), I can control downloads, i.e. add more files to be downloaded, set priorty etc...

The ABC bit torrent client (http://pingpong-abc.sf.net and http://php4abc.i-networx.de/ )added a really neat web interface recently. I know it would be much more difficult to do in DC++, and a whole bucket full of issues would have to be solved, but I think it would be a really cool feature. What do people think?

I made the first one, but my patch was denied by Arne as alot of code had changed in the new version, and 2 my code had a bit of redundancy. I might fix that up and resubmit it if i find the time (well it works in the new version, but still repeats the progressbar code (with slight changes))

A web interface would be quite interesting I'd think, not really sure how much work would be in it thou.

the web interface would be interesting, no doubt - if the problems for that were solved, then that would open up the way for remote controlling DC from another app (not just a web interface) and that *could* be dangerous if not kept in check...

would be interesting nontheless though
