Title: Download limiter
Post by: [NL]Portal on 08 September, 2004, 22:01:42

Hello everybody ,

Can someone create a stand alone script like this ?

A sort of download limiter.

If someone connects my hub server he can download Max as a non regged user 750 MB and if the wanne download more then 750 MB he has to registrate himself before he can download. Can someone create some script llike this. Thanx..

It can be solved somehow, but it is really hard ,and may be inaccurate. If i am wrong, a skilled guy tell me lol!

file transfers are done between clients, the hub only helps them 2 connect.

Hmm.. I guess a user could be limited to x-counts of downloads by counting the times he connects to another user, right ?

Though this would include downloading of fileslists too ..

Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

but we know the packet size dc++ sends
im totally intoxicated, but if we rely on $Send, we can do something. I dont know if it can be done, but gonna make tests as soon as i get clean lol

As the hub has nothing to do with actual transfers, there is no way for the hub to track amounts transferred.

Limiting the number of connection attempts would be possible, but as snooze said, it would include filelists and times when the clients dont actually connect (like no slots available).

So they could use up all their connection attempts and never get a slot :P

no the hub has no idea if it was an attempt 2 connect or a succesfull connect.

hey all,

aswell as whats allready been pointed out, a dc++ client will not resend the $RevConnectToMe string if it knows the clients ip, it will just directly connect to it.

but active users will allways resend a $ConnectToMe string.

The truth is, u cant monitor your users downloads or even correctly monitor passive user connections. If you want a limit on unregged users, the best that can be done is to block at the connection strings from unregistered users.
