Dealing with duplicate files..

[3josh]

Hi all!

There are two things I'd really like DC++ to do regarding duplicate files.

1) It appears that DC++ will go out and download files that I'm already sharing (and have TTH's) - even when the the queued source also has a TTH. Yes, I know - I'm an idiot for downloading it :) but with large mp3 audiobook collections this is quite easy (and common for me). I would think it would make more sense to just copy the file locally and log the event to the console. Or maybe have an option to not create any duplicates and make stub files or a log file in the directory or..?? (ideas?)

2) DC++ knows about all my duplicate files already. How can I get at that data?! I'm running another program that goes and scans things now (which isn't as smart as DC++'s scan - and a redundant scan on 2T is lame anyway). It would be great if there was a nice gui to show duplicates. But for the moment - has someone got a perl/shell script / VB / anything someplace that can parse the dc++ data files and show me dups?

Thanks!

They are listed in system.log every time a filelist refresh is done.

Settings -> Advanced -> "Don't download files already in share".
