Why not remake dc++ to support a client/server type.
Aka for the average normal user with only one machine you put download the "server" version of dc++ install it and use as any other normal dc++ user
.
But! now when local lans are growing, I mean most people own more then one computer and I for ones got my dc++ on my server so that I can stay connected all day all night. At the moment I use very slow remote administration programs to controle it, like vnc and the like.
What would this client/server thing do for the avarge citizen then?
Well being the average computer user I got my 2 servers and 2 work machines. With this new idea I would install dc++ server to my server then install dc++ client to my client/work machines. For me I could use the dc++ server to download as usual. But the great thing would be that instead of having to goto my server I Could use my dc++ client to connect to dc++ server and remote administrate it from here, in a sense the dc++ client would be a remote controle, it would get info about what goes on on the dc++ server side but wouldn't do any real work, all the downloading uploading would still be on the server side.
Ehrm I am tad confused about this and came up with the idea yesterday during a party so having a huge hangover atm, but felt I had to write it down before it goes into the great BLUR!
eitherway tell me what you think and feel free to ask I know this is a realy messy post
