Remove source when speed < X

Post by Oddish » 2003-01-23 20:33

I would love to be able to specify a minimum download speed limit, and when a download goes below that limit, the source is removed.

I just hate when I've left DC++ running all night and when I wake up I realize it's been downloading at 500kB/s for 9 hours. :!: Very uncool.

That speed should be 500 b/s, but since the moderators for some extremely strange reason has disabled editing I can't fix it.

How about a "attempt alternate download when speed below X" that would only disconnect a slot when another is obtained? I mean, there would be no removal from the download list and we would continue to download from the slow user UNTIL a slot from a better one is obtained.

That sounds better, and DC++ could also take notes about which user was the faster one and then use that user even if it's below the requested speed. It would do so for say 20 minutes and then try again. Amount of minutes might be a setting as well. Will implement this in pDC++ when segmented downloading is 100% done (only 95% now...). http://www.lowertech.net/pdcpp
