What do the DC++-style tags mean? NotationThe following information appears in the Tag column for every user in the user list of the Hub window: <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x[,O:x]>, where
- V(ersion)
- x = client version
- M(ode)
- x = mode (A = Active, P = Passive, 5 = SOCKS5)
- H(ubs)
- x = number of hubs connected to where you're not a registered user
y = number of hubs you're registered in
z = number of hubs you're registered as an operator - S(lots)
- x = number of upload slots you have open (note that they may be in use already)
- O(pen an extra slot if speed is below)
- x = if total upload is below this value DC++ will open another slot
This part of the tag is only shown when the option for it is enabled. The tag is updated every 1-2 minutes if there are changes. Other clients may introduce more tag elements such as L:x or B:x which means usage of upolad bandwith limiter where x is the amount of maximal upload bandwith in KiBs.HistoryThe DC++ tag was introduced back when the only available Direct Connect client was Neo-Modus DirectConnect (NMDC) v1.0. That particular client could only connect to one hub at a time, which ensured that the upload slots available were assigned to other users connected to that hub. At first, hub owners considered DC++ to be a cheat client, because it could connect to multiple hubs at once. The DC++ tag was introduced so hub owners could check if the users were connected to a reasonable amount of hubs and had enough upload slots available for sharing.
At this point, almost every client, whether it's capble of joining multiple hubs or not, has a similar tag in it's description field. The custom is to replace "++" with some other identifier uniquely identifying the client type (common are "StrgDC++", "ApexDC++" and "PWDC++").This table is an sample of some of the legact DC++ clients and the tags they impemented. | Client | Tag | Description | Information | | DC++ | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x> | | V: Client version
M: Mode, A = Active, P = Passive, 5 = Socks5
H: | | x = number of hubs connected to where you're not a registered user | | | y = number of hubs you're registered in | | | z = number of hubs you're registered as op | S: Number of slots open
O: If the current total upload speed of a user is lower than the number after O:, DC++ will automatically open another slot. | | BCDC++ | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,B:x> | | B: Upload bandwidth limit in kb/s (optional and only shown when using BCDC mode) | | CZDC++ | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,L:x> | | L: Upload bandwidth limit (optional and not always shown) | | DC:Pro | <DC:PRO V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,F:x/y> | | F: Bandwidth limiting (optional and only shown in the description when using DC++ mode) | | x = Download limit | | | y = Upload limit | | | DC++k CDM | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x> | <CDM V:y> | V:y CDM version | | DCDM++ | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,B:x> | <DCDM V:y> | B: Upload bandwidth limit in kb/s | | DCGUI | <DCGUI V:x,M:x,H:x,S:x,L:x> | | H: The number of hubs the client is connected to.
L: Upload bandwidth limit | | iDC++ | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x> | <iDC V:y> | V:y iDC++ version | | MS++V | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,B:x> | <MS++V> | B: Upload bandwidth limit in kb/s (optional and only shown when using MS++V mode and in > 3 hubs) | | NMDC v2 | <DC V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x> | | O: has a different meaning then in a DC++ Tag.
O: Number of open slots. | | oDC | <oDC V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x> | | 5.3 and greater change the Client Name and Version fields | | PhantomDC | <++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,B:x> | <.P> | B: Upload bandwidth limit in kb/s (optional and only shown when in PhantomDC mode) | | PeerWebDC++ | <PWDC++ V:x,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x> | {x/y} | V: PeerWeb version.
{x/y}: Free slots / Total slots.
PWDC++ tag only shows when a User. DC++ tag shown when an OP. | | rmDC++ | <RMDC++ V:y,M:x,H:x/y/z,S:x,O:x,B:x,D:x> | | B: Upload bandwidth limit in kb/s [rmDC++ mode]
D: Download bandwidth limit in kb/s [rmDC++ mode]
