auto-limit

Post by Stupid Ass » 2004-05-02 10:37

i know that speedlimiting has been requested and rejected...
the main reason i the abuse-possabilitys...

but how about a automatic speedlimiting? totally controlled by dc++...

something like this:
start dc++ for the first time, dc++ sends/receves a file to a server to check speeds, then it limits the upload to 99% and test again, then 98% etc, and decides what the ultimate speed is.
maybe the limit should be limited (?) to 60% or something so it wont be too slow

i dont know if this is even possible, but if the user has no way to control the speedlimit, then he has no way to abuse it

and this way, when nothing is downloading, the upload wont need to be imited
I´m not as stupid as you look...
