BE AWARE Scripters...

Hi,

Be AWARE

If anyone have a download blocker check out the $RevConnectToMe string, as you know this string is sent by
passive users. The String commands the user where the string was sent to, to send his string $ConnectToMe, so if this user has the downloads
blocked the user in passive mode can't download from him. He is a example of how to predict that from happening...

arrRC = {}

function Main() 
    frmHub:EnableFullData(1) 
end 

function DataArrival(curUser, data) 
	if (strsub(data, 1, 15) == "$RevConnectToMe") then 
		local _,_,towho = strfind(data, "$RevConnectToMe%s+%S+%s+(%S+)|") 
		if (curUser.iProfile == -1 and GetItemByName(towho) ~= nil and GetItemByName(towho).iProfile ~= -1) then 
        		curUser:SendData("*** You can only download from normal users.")  
	   		return 1
        	else 
			arrRC[towho] = 1 --- If the user is not blocked then is going to send the $Rev string to "towho" send his string $ConnectToMe
		end
	elseif (strsub(data, 1, 12) == "$ConnectToMe" and curUser.iProfile == -1) then 
		local _,_,towho = strfind(data, "$ConnectToMe%s+(%S+)%s+.*|") 
		if (arrRC[curUser.sName] ~= nil) then   -- Checks if was sent a $Rev string to him.
			arrRC[curUser.sName] = nil	
		elseif (GetItemByName(towho) ~= nil and GetItemByName(towho).iProfile ~= -1) then 
        		curUser:SendData("*** You can only download from normal users.")  
	   		return 1
        	end 
	
	end 
end

I have seen this error in many download scripts.

Best regards, nErBoS

Hi Nerbos,

I think I understand what this is about. But... will this also possibly  hit perfectly honest users?

I have applied the script as I do have some users that come up with a lot of  $RevConnectToMe  strings, but since I have also had quite a few complaints.

Is there any way of 'checking' their honesty?
