Title: The Ptokax-Versions really confusing me!
Post by: dadaniel on 17 January, 2004, 15:34:05
I want to run a Hub in our school (I've already asked our admin) for 20-50 users(100Mbit LAN).

But the Ptokax-version-names really confusing me!

Is "Testdrive 4" a BETA?
It sometimes refused connections with the answer "You must have 2 slots open!" when the client has already 2 slots open.

Currently I'm using IceCube IV without any problems.

Please tell me which hub-software i should use?
There's only one restriction:

It MUST work with PhantomDC++!!

testdrive is indeed a beta but it's stable enough 2 use it.
for that slot problem try disabling the aditional slot check on the advanced tab.
robocop is indeed a great bot for starters but the latest versions need testdrive 4.
all versions of ptokax work with phantomdc++, it's the bot's which can be incompatible with it.
if you use 1 which allows nmdc v1.0 to enter, then any client can enter your hub.

hmm ... I think u are mistaken .. to release a new version means that the older one is doing stuff in a less efficient way...  :)
If they get me a spray to clean my teeth properly, then, Yes the toothbrush "is not good enough" ... :D

Wel it maynot always work like that. Alot of new versions of things are not as good as the privious.Lets just say that a new version is made after the previous version there is no arguing about that.lol.But new versions are not always better than some older one's.

testdrive has added features which had 2 be tested.
i'll name a couple.
additional slots check ---> buggy don't use it --> fixed in 0.3.3.0.
the database ---> growing wild and lagging the system ---> gone be fully rewriten on 0.3.3.0 (currently disabled).
the profile system --> works great.

now you can see that new ain't always better.
icecube is the latest final release.
testdrive 4 is the last public beta.
