Title: friendslots not working
Post by: WolfChild on March 28, 2005, 01:04:52 AM
Hallo guys,

last CVS I tried (0326,0310) seemed to have problems with making friendslots. The slots won't be enabled in the gui (button stays default) and no fs is setted up.

Another thing is that old friends won't be imported correct:
Already added friends will be marked as friend in the queue, but no possibilty to add a friendslot (not enabled in the menu). Only way is to remove and add again. Unfortunately the above will happen then.

Cheers,
WolfChild

Hmm, in 20050327-Version, friendslots are working again, but there still no activated button in the menu and the friends import is not working too.


BTW:
I would like to see better relase options in aMule. I like the powershare option, but today there are windowsclients which have better control over releasing of files.

What about the overshare feature, that let a releasing client hide already well known chunks? This is a very good feature that will spread a file more efficicently.

Another thing is better friendslot options. To prerelease, it is very good to have a kind of friendslot list which will automatically change friendslot owners according to a defined event, like every completed chunk or some amount of data or something else.

That is, what I tried to point out here: http://forum.amule.org/thread.php?threadid=5531&sid=

Kry, thanks for your attention to this point but I'm sorry, this is still not complety working for me  using CVS 20050402 on a SuSi 9.0, with KDE 3.2.2. and wx* 2.4.2.

The good news is: friendupload seems to work stable.

The bad news:
- There is still no activated button even the client rating in queue details is shown like a friendslot one and friendupload works.

- The import of known friends couriously works for some former known friends but not all (I couldn't figure out the difference between working and non-working ones), and even worser these working and non-working friends are not always the same after changing the active gui window?!

- New added or known friends sometimes won't have the full context menu in Messages->Friends (bug may be in context to the above one).

First one is fixed, check the other ones.

Yes, the button is working again. The other issues - not.

But hopefully there is a hint for you: it seems to me that every time, the former friend changes his IP-adress and connects to my queue again or my own client restarts its network connect (and changes its ip) the last session added friends get lost.

First of all, as usual, thanks for you work, aMule team :)

As today, still not working. I have to remove a friend from the friend list, then add to it again and aMule will see him/her... until the next time (s)he disconnects. Most annoying!  :]

Will be fixed in 2.0.1 (most probably) 8)

No, will be on 2.0.0

Well, probably 2.0.1 too, as I still have problems with FS in 2.0.0 and wxGTK 2.6.. ;)

Heh, ok, sorry.
1. Often 'Establish Friend Slot' is greyed out even if the user is connected or on queue.
2. If you're lucky and 'Establish Friend Slot' wasn't greyed out and you activated it, when 1 chunk finished and the user is on the queue again, the user has no friend "bonus" anymore, meaning high score. 'Establish Friend Slot' is selected then though. Reselecting it doesn't help.

Got the same behaviour here with amule 2.0.0.
Title: suggestion
Post by: m2kio on May 10, 2005, 03:54:24 PM
hi,

somehow, this friend slot thing nags me a lot. i don't know how it is implemented, but it appears to me very 'fractal'. Obviously it is very resistent against fixing. Do i assume right that aMule tries to copy options from eMule? (i don't know eMule.) Cut that. Think of something better. ;)

i suggest to revamp handling friends and friends slots as simple as possible:

-1- there is no explicit friends slot.
-2- all friends simply get a high score multiplier; e.g.: x 25.

i actually see no increased danger for abusive use. you can currently devote nearly all your upload to a single friend by setting very high bandwith per slot, this cannot get worse.  

no change to current state:
- UL to friend doesn't start immediately.

disadvantages:
- UL to a single friend is interrupted after each chunk.
- you cannot favor one friend over other friends currently in your UL queue.

advantages:
- code to handle friends' connection state eliminated.
- code to handle a friends slot eliminated.


what's your opinion?

... m2kio !

additionally, i'd like to have the option to set a peer to 'foe' state.  8)

My opinion is: no :P
