ver 0.668, or is v0.401 still....

[blackwings]

there has been loads of problem with DC++ v0.403+ and v0.666, but how about version 0.668? Is it as stable as version 0.401?

[Tw?sT?d-d?v]

As what I know, 0.666 didn't have the myInfo spam either, but it was buggy and caused problems among the users. So except for the MyInfo spam, is it really as stable as version 0.401?

*** WARNING *** 
This update will change all your config files and queues, and it is 
very probable that you won't be able to revert back to an older version
once the update has been done!!!
Also, finish your queue file before upgrading if you care for your
international filenames in it - they will not be correctly converted.

i couldn't post the other previously version due message lenght

seeing all the FIXED , things since 0.401,

well i whould surely know what to run 0.668 offcourse :D

[blackwings]

can 0.668 dl from everyone? because 0.403+ often couldn't dl from people with version 0.401 and earlier. Sorry for asking it, but I couldn't see in the changelog that it was fixed or not :S

[n1ck]

Older than 0.300 - Unsecure, not recommended.
Older than 0.300-0.307 - No MyINFO-bug, plenty of other bugs.
0.400 - No MyINFO-bug
0.401 - No MyINFO-bug
0.402 - No MyINFO-bug
0.403 - No MyINFO-bug
0.4031 - Never released
0.4032 - No MyINFO-bug
0.4033 - MyINFO-bug during the hashing process
0.4034 - MyINFO-bug during the hashing process
0.666 - No MyINFO-bug
0.667 - Meaningless MyINFO-bug
0.668 - No MyINFO-bug


 The amount of ppl using 668 tells me that it does work!

[[NL]Pur]

i never had such a problem, but for you i just tested it and could download with 0.668 from an 0.401 user.

Are you sure you don't have just an passive <> passive user problem ?

the problem is the other way around, 0.401 requests the bz2 list which doesn't excist in later versions.
this 1 has been fully replaced by the xml.bz2 list.
so instead it has 2 wait for a free slot 2 be able 2 get the nmdc list, yes for this you need a normal free slot.

plop

[bastya_elvtars]

why was this all changed?

clever idea of GargoyleMT? :evil:

[n1ck]

The main jist of problems i seem to be having in my hub is oDC users getting the filelists off 66x versions

NO, I'm pretty sure that it was 0.403+ that had problems to dl both filelist + files(when they use the main search) from 0.401 and older. Because I have atleast got 5 complaints about this from users, all cases there wasn't about dl between passive and passive, it was that the one that tried to dl had for example 0.4034 and the user he tried to dl from had 0.401 or older.

[[NL]Pur]

then you even have more reason to upgrade,

It's not a problem or a bug, it's intended to be that way. I wish people would stop hanging on to their old clients and just update. then there will be no problems. The amount of people with clients earlier than 401 in my hub is about 3 users. with about 100+ users with clients being 401 or higher. We can all connect to each other, except for the 3 users with old clients, therefore it's the 3 users that are causing the problems.

[imby]

Btw, i might be wrong here, but i'm pretty sure about this. 401 can get the lists of both the new clients and the old clients. 403 can only get the lists off the new. therefore the old clients should be able to get the lists off the old clients to and 401? I use 668 and don't have trouble connecting to anyone. except the odd user with an old client of course.

Some hubs seem to have fallen into hysteria and they have decided to ban some DC++ versions randomly between 0.401-0.667 and therefore forcing the users to upgrade or downgrade to whatever version.

The start of this hysteria has been the "MyINFO-flood" which, according to hearsay, is causing hubs to lag and crash. Due the lack of real facts the rumours have gone wild. Well, here's some facts for you to consider.

DC++ version 0.307 was the first client to include the hashing feature. This means the TTH checksum (Tiger Tree Hash) is generated for all the files added into users share. TTH checksum will ensure the user will always get the correct file and also helps to continue downloading the correct file from another source. Version 0.400 made this hashing mandatory and the option to toggle it off was removed. This feature has been proven to work as expected and DC++ has hashed the files in the background automaticly.

DC++ version 0.4033 added a monitoring window for the hashing process. Unfortunately this feature caused the DC++ to update the share size to the hub using MyINFO after each new file was hashed. Some hub software packages are coded to relay this information to all the users in real time. If the file count added to the share was several thousands it was causing the upload traffic from the hub to hit the roof and in some cases clogging it. This bug was also in the version 0.4034 but has been fixed in the version 0.666.

In other words, this bug only exists in versions 0.4033 and 0.4034. In small hubs (less than 300 users) this bug has only little effect or none at all. The Yhub software seems to be the most sensitive to this bug. This is because the Yhub doesn't prioritize the packets to be sent and sends the MyINFO to all the users whether the info has changed or not.

The users can help to reduce the flooding by opening the hub after the DC++ hashing process has finished and by avoiding adding files to the share "on the fly".

The version 0.667 has a different bug which causes the hub to send an extra MyINFO every time an Operator logs into the hub. The operators have sent double MyINFO since the version 0.24 anyway so this has very little effect on the hub bandwidth usage. This bug doesn't exist in the versions 0.666 and 0.668.

DC++ versions:
Older than 0.300 - Unsecure, not recommended.
Older than 0.300-0.307 - No MyINFO-bug, plenty of other bugs.
0.400 - No MyINFO-bug
0.401 - No MyINFO-bug
0.402 - No MyINFO-bug
0.403 - No MyINFO-bug
0.4031 - Never released
0.4032 - No MyINFO-bug
0.4033 - MyINFO-bug during the hashing process
0.4034 - MyINFO-bug during the hashing process
0.666 - No MyINFO-bug
0.667 - Meaningless MyINFO-bug
0.668 - No MyINFO-bug

some of that should be relevant, some not.

[bastya_elvtars]

ops with dbl myino screw many scripts.

[03:21:34] You are on 8 hub(s) in total. 3 as guest, 5 as registered, 2 as operator.

my tag is:

<++ V:0.666,M:A,H:3/4/3,S:20>

grrrrrrrrr

[Event_Horizon]

for OPs is R2++ maybe the best client - core is 0.401 & it supports all 3 formats of filelists up&down.

i personaly also use it & best of all it have absolutely 0 cheat features  :))

there are 3 versions of this client L M S

L - Full DCDM features
M - Quickcheck
S - Userversion ( no check features )

best of all this client is very stable

We weren't talking about the best client, we were talking about what version is the latest stable one of DC++, which we now know is DC++ 0.668.

[bastya_elvtars]

wait 4 ppk release CZDC++ 0.668 im beta testing it and owns (ok sometimes you cannot bring up from tray but rock solid)
