Keeping idle conncetions

[Dj_Offset]

Hi, I have a question.
How can one keep an idle connection after "download complete" if there was no download. I know that sounds weird, but here is an example;

I'm working on QuickDC and click "Browse user" on a DC++ user.
I request a connection, log in properly and send;

$Get MyList.bz2$xxxx|

I get:

$FileLength yyyy|

Hm, that file is complete, then, now what?
I cannot "$Get" another file, unless $Send was called.
It's no point in $Send'ing unless you don't have that file.
DC++ doesn not support the $Canceled command either...

How should this be done?

It can't (currently). I didn't consider this to be very important considering that bz lists seldom become larger than a few 100 k's...

OK, but what about other files in general?

If a file is n bytes long should I:

SEND: $Get file$n+1|
RECV: $FileLength n|
SEND: $Send| (nothing happens)

and the connection is idle?

Dunno, try? It was definately more than half a year I wrote that code...

That worked with DC++. I'll test it with the others aswell (dctc gives some really weird results most of the times...)
