Perhaps a bit strange request, but hear me out... If it is possible, I would like a bot that will download file lists to a local folder. It would be nice if it checked everytime a user joined, if their current file list was different from the one downloaded, and if so, download it again. It would also periodically check (once a day?) everyone currently on the hub, for updated file lists. A full update could be initiated by an Op.
Network and server resources are not a problem.
I will have PHP manage the files, and delete Dups if needed, and users will be able to search this offline database for all files. I could also use this collection of file lists to look for shares not permitted on the hub.
I will of course share my part of the scripts when I'm done with them :p If this isn't possible, taht's ok too, I'll think of something else. Thanks all
