Hello,

I really need the function Powershare (better than release)  
if any can give me a mod (yes, it's no correct to speak about mod, but i really need powershare!) who do the powershare i will be very happy  

Thanks, Marco

[Kry]

And what does that function do?

[wuischke]

He wants an immediate upload when a client asks for a file, if I understood him right in the French thread.

IIRC, aMule's "Release" priority is equivalent to eMule's "Powershare" priority. I've released a few of aMule's binaries via ed2k using aMule's 'release' priority and usually all the upload slots are filled with downloaders of the released file within less than a minute. So I don't really understand how one could increase aMule's 'release' priority any further.

Hello all,

When i "put release" isn't release completely and immediately
i have amule 2.1.0

[wuischke]

What he wants is that other uploads are 'kicked' and replaced by Powershare-UL if I understood everything correctly.

@Vulcain: Trust me, it's not necessary to push threads, the people will read them without this as well.

[Kry]

I kinnda don't like that, would I? Priorities already hurt availability of files, kicking current uploads is not exactly good imho.

Exactly.

If i understood, it is impossible to have the powershare in linux ?

[wuischke]

No, it's not impossible. You just need someone who codes it and it seems not very likely that someone of the aMule-devs would code it.

Do you have really rare files that you need the immediate upload or what makes you need this feature?

[Vulcain]

I have 500 files (1mo each one ~) and when somebody ask, i want to give immediatly the file

It's not especially  rare files

It is possible to ask to somebody to create the function POWERSHARE please ?

[Vulcain]

If i understood, it is not posible to create the function powershare...X(

[wuischke]

Well it's not a matter of possibilities but rather of necessarity and time.
If no coder thinks that it is necessary/ no coder has the time to code it, the functionality won't be done.

Don't give up all your hope already: When you find someone who does it or you even learn some cpp to code it, then  there will be a patch. If not - there's no patch out of the blue.

[ismaell]

I want to implement it, but...

How the clients should be kicked?

Maybe the client with the highest uploaded size/time?

[Kry]

Kicking clients is bad.

[francus]

Kicking clients is bad

This is a philosophical item and want to give my contribution: this is about freedom. Is freedom bad?

Is it bad the freedom to choose what you want to upload, provided you are within the requested down/up ratio?

Is it bad to be able to stop uploading something you do not want to upload, provided you are in the ratio?

It is not bad it is healthy.  There are many reasons

First mainstream files are already super supported, you immeadiately begin downloading that, so there no reason to punish relaese files to support mainstream files. We already have television that bored us with mainstream content. There is no need to support mainstream content also on P2P networks.

Second we are free humans, free to choose our way and free to choose the contribution we want to give to this world, even in what we upload.

Third, you are personally responsible for what you upload. Until a file is downloaded, and until you have the time to look at it you do not know what it really is.  It may be a fake,  a porn child abuse or whatever. You do not know.  And you are legally responible for that. This is enough to stop many people using amule. Limiting your ability  to kick clients means limiting your ability to control what you upload.

Fourth amule is the only way to reach edonkey network under Linux. It is sad that if you want  freedom, you have to  say goodby to Linux (supposedly the world of freedom) and revert to the MorphXT of emule under windows.  That is what I sadly continue to do.

This is not a minor item. This is freedom. Freedom is not an empty word. It is something concrete. Something to care about. Something to nourish. Something to extend, protect and defend. Freedom is ourselves.

So take your courage, there is really nothing bad about kicking clients.  Rather aim at expanding freedoms for example also setting an upload priority hierarchy, as morphXT already does.
