::hello all ya!::
Im SuperNetOP in the TiTANIUM network maybe you heard of it, probably
not but anyway
I have some things I hope you dc++ programers could add in dc++
well first of all.
1. every time I try to download a list of files for exp:

file - 01
file - 02
file - 03
file - 04
file - 05
file - 06
file - 07
file - 08
they star in diffrent orders, after it's done with file 1 its starts with file 6
and after that 4 (I know there are those priority settings but there are only
5 settings there) is it possible to get more of them, could there be a cmd
field in settings where you could choose how many priority buttons you
want (im refering to these: Higest, High, Normal, Low, Lowest, paused)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::Operator, SuperUser Command's::

Dc stealth guys can't be kicked, you can't get theyr user info or anything.
now my question, does flood work on them (+flood <nickname>) so that
theyr dc messes it self up?
(flood sends like 1000 messages at once to a person)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
::Main Chat::
One user in main chat started talking about kazaa and that the newest
version had a "avi viewer that could let people see the file while theyr
downloading, is it something that could be adapted to dc++???"
it would realy be great to see if you are downloading the real deal and not
a fake file :?
If you are gonna Cheat atleast do it right!!

This was completely unrelated to the other thread, so I split it off.

1. More priority settings is not the solution here, it would just make the queue messy, and are you seriously gonna set 20 different prioritys if you download... say an mp3 album.. no way!

The solution is to make DC++ download the files in the order they are in the queue. And to make DC++ add the files alphabeticly when you add an entire folder (again, mp3 album). This would make DC++ download file 1,2,3,4,5... etc. like it should be... and if you fore some reason wanted to download file 9 after file 2, you can just drag that file and put it after 2 in the list! The NMDC-way!


2. This has nothing to do with DC++ client software. Hubsoftware deals with this!


3. requests for an internal mp3-player have been discussed before and has been denied! Adding to many features that other apps do better is no good! Btw. start downloading original releases in rar, and you don't have to worry about getting "fake movies".

Well, since nobody here has the DC Stealth source - as Intrabrew/Interbrew is in violation of the GPL by not releasing it, we really can't comment.

Get yourself a copy and try it, then you don't have to wonder anymore.
