RevConnect v0.401a

[Ken]

A new version of this Direct Connect client has been released.

Source Forge is in read-only mode at the moment, and there doesn't appear to be any changes listed in the changelog on SF, or at the revconnect homepage.

RevConnect is a file sharing program. It uses DC++ as codebase and adds below features:

* Kademlia to be hub independent and make search more effective

* Secure user identification to anti leechers

* Multiple sources download simultaneously

* Memory mapped files to enhance file I/O and save HD's life

Notes:

* Install/Start: Extract all files to a folder and run DCPlusPlus.exe

* Upgrade: Extract and overwrite all files

* DC++ can't resume RevConnect's unfinished downloads.

* Temporary and download directory should be set within the same drive.

* Don't share cd/dvd-r/rw/rom/ram or network drive or floppy or temporary directory, it may cause 100% cpu usage.

* `Memory mapped files` may not work well under Windows 95/98/Me

* .BIN file maybe unusable for corrupt.

* Feature `rollback` is disabled

* Feature `antifrag` is disabled

* Passive user can't use `Kademlia`.

multisource

hmmm....

[Ken]

Multisource and DC don't mix.

With the size (both in mass quantity, and individual size) of some of the shares i've seen, who'd want to hash all those files?

[method77]

the new dc++ versions (bcdc etc...) all hash the files now

[Ken]

Well, then they're probably not using a complete hash scheme.

It's probably like the fasttrack hashing scheme, where only 300k of the file is hashed.

That leaves things open to tampering.

All in all, die-hard DC fans (like NotBob from Zeropaid), have expressed dislike for hashing/multisource in DC.
