DC++

Blacklist

Asked by Karl

I'm wondering how to block a specific user from downloading from me? I have encountered "bots" that always retrieving all text documents from my seed.. It's really annoying since I don't have any useractions to take to block the user/users, aka no right-clicking etc..

Do I need a script for this or is there a way at all to block users from downloading from you?

the general idea in DC is to either convince the hub operators to block said user, or to leave the hub and find another one.

writing a DC++ plugin that blocks specific users would be pretty easy, but i'm not aware of any at the moment.

not a good idea since then you can basically blacklist an entire hub besides the hub owners and get away with douche-bag-leeching.

however with the case of greylinkdc you could just instablock clients that connect to you direct after posting somethings in main-chat, or somethings like that.

Can you help with this problem?
