Global hubs files search

[kiyuypow]

Request: global search wich result is file and hub where is this file. Not necessary to knows who is the user, because if i know in which hub is this file i go to this hub and i try to enter following the rules of this hub.

This is a tool that consider DC like a more great comunity that an addition of hubs...

It's also important that DC maintain its decentralized centralized layout. There need to be a good number of private hubs around.

Users coming from other P2P networks might want a way to search all the hubs... moglo is the best way to do that - not in a DC client or in the DC protocol.

this global search doesn't allows to download...it's only to inform in which hubs is located this file. And the hubs doesn't lost nothing of their independance....because if you want download you must be under the law of each hub

Again, moglo is what you want.

DC is not a group of hubs - except for the Hub Networks that exist - they're all independent. This is its strength, not a weakness.

[kiyuypow]

yes, agree. i love DC because he has this independent hub structure which allows specialized hubs...but i ask, this explained global search why is a weakness for DC? i'm not agree on that, or maybe i don't understand all the implications, all the consequences...

Sometimes, when I want something, I think that the lack of a global search is a weakness.

The rest of the time, I realize that if users were able to search every hub, they wouldn't find a "home hub" or two and form a community by talking and socializing.

An easy to use global-file search would also chew up a lot bandwidth on hubs - and keeping them as low-bandwidth as we can allow more people to run them.
