"amount uploaded/file size" column in shared files window
« on: December 18, 2004, 11:36:30 PM »
i would love to have a column in the shared windows that contains "total upload of the file / file size".  you could then sort based on that column and remove all files that have been uploaded completely e.g. at least 5 times.
many other edonkey clients have this function, it should be trivial to implement, and it would make going through your shared files so much easier... :)

"you could then sort based on that column and remove all files that have been uploaded completely" <- but if you had uploaded 1000 times the same part it would look like you have uploaded the whole file 100 times but really you haven't...

that's just a note there. allthough I guess you already thought of that.

of course you don't know that but i don't think there is a reasonable way to implement what you suggested. i guess you could somehow determine the chunk that has been uploaded the least and then display the number for this particular chunk but i doubt this would be very informative...

what i want is (just purely based on overall upload) to know how much i've contributed to spreading the file relative to its size, and for that the simple "amound uploaded divided by file size" would work just fine... :)

I wasn't suggesting, I was just informing ;)

but, ok, I have never seen such thing in any client but it's easy to do it. Allthough it will brake the columns config, so maybe that should be fixed first...

hehe, sorry didn't mean 'you suggesting'... ;)

anyway, mldonkey has it iirc and even the official client has it, the latter being quite surprising, given its general absence of important features... ;)
you can also find this feature in other p2p clients like azureus (bt)...

not sure what you mean by 'breake the columns' -- do you mean the gui has to be changed accordingly or would there be a more serious implications?

no, I just mean that the config file refers to colums configuration as "column1", "column2", "column3"... so fitting a coumn between coumnX and columnY will breake old configs ;) so before doing so, the config file should be changed to something like "columnName", "columnSize", "columnSources", etc, so that adding colmns (now and in some future) doesn't brake the config again.

Greetings!

i'd like to revive this thread again. :]

i still haven't gotten used to going through all files by hand to figure out how many times i've uploaded each one. it's a little tedious if you are sharing about 100 files... ;)
so i would really love to have this feature and i'm sure others would, too, particularly people who've switched from other clients.

i looked a bit into the sources and it seems like the columns config is now fixed. how much time do think it would take to implement this feature?

It's very easy, and could be implemented in less than an hour, if someone decided to do it. Unfortuantely I don't have the time now, but I wrote it up.
