DCTC


DCTC is available under GPL. If you want to contribute, you can:

    * help develop: write some pieces of code, add or debug features.

    * help document: DCTC documentation is probably not the best. Considering adding to or/and rewriting the current online documentation, even a single paragraph or a FAQ are useful.

    * Donate: if none of the above options are up your alley, please consider making a monetary donation. To donate via PayPal, connect to your PayPal account and use the Send Money tab. The recipient's Email is eric@a2pb.gotdns.org and give what you want. An easiest way to donate via PayPal will be set up as soon as PayPal upgrades its service.

I. What is DCTC

DCTC is a Direct Connect clone, a windoz client allowing users to share their files and talk (like IRC but more software sharing oriented) using a proprietary protocol.

DCTC stands for Direct Connect Text Client.

DCTC is release under GPL however, if you use it regularly and want to support its development, you can send a small fee.

II. What is not DCTC

DCTC is written from scratch without any help from neo-modus using our experience of hotline protocol.

DCTC is not designed to be used by human. It doesn't contains any GUI or CLI. The goal of this project is to build a Direct Connect client which can be used by other programs. So even if you can enter command using the keyboard, don't say the human interface is poor.

III. DCTC functions
Here is a list of yet supported functions.

    * Search:
          o Query: passive dans active mode, single or multi hub search.
          o Reply: in both passive and active mode.

    * Transfer
          o Download: it works, both in passive and active mode.
            Note: when a transfer is aborted, DCTC only notifies this fact, it doesn't try to resume the download.
          o Upload: it works, both in passive and active mode.

    * Public/Private chat: they fully work.
    * Users: it can display both user information and user list of hub.

DCTC also includes special features like:

    * Segmented Download (GDL): download the same file from multiple sources.
    * autoscan: to ease GDL usage, DCTC can also periodically search for new download sources.
    * Multi hub search and download: a search or a download can be performed on hub not connected to the current DCTC. The command is relayed by other DCTCs (DCTC link).
    * Direct Download (DDL): it is possible to start transfers without hub help. Thus, you can download from someone who is not on one of the hub you are.
    * SOCKS proxy (v4 and v5) and web proxy support to allow access even from protected networks requiring a proxy to go out.
    * Upload and download bandwidth limitation.
    * Big file support (64 bits offset).

IV. Sources
DCTC sources are also available here and source RPM package here. A mandrake 9.2 binary package is available (pIV version). A mirror of the files are available here (Thanks to Andreas Åberg).

V. dc_gui
dc_gui is a GUI for DCTC. Currently, it is still a beta version, some features don't work but the most useful ones still are available:

    * Currently, dc_gui can start new client and/or attach itself to already running DCTC (version 0.55 and above). You can also start several connection at the same time. You can switch between several DCTC.
    * search: mono-hub search works and takes into account all search criterias. It is already possible to start a download by clicking on the wanted file.
    * user list: the user list is simply displayed. It is already possible to retrieve user shared files list.
    * transfers: transfers are displayed and can be killed (either using the popup menu or using the 'd' key).
    * Preferences: current DCTC preferences are displayed and taken into account to start new client or to update running client.

GTK2: dc_gui sources (v0.80) are available here, source RPM package here and binary RPM package here (MDK9.2 based, with bittorrent support). To compile, ./autogen.sh ; make; make install. The compilation requires 650MB of free memory to succeed. This version requires a DCTC version 0.85.8 or above.

GTK1.2: dc_gui sources (v0.66) are available here and source RPM package here.

A mirror of the files are available here (Thanks to Andreas Åberg).

VI. last minute bug fix

    * In dctc v0.56, some users encounter error while compiling db.c. Fix: edit db.c and at line 30, add #include <netinet/in.h>
    * In dctc v0.62.0, if nothing is shared, dctc dies when it tries to rebuild the shared file database. Fix: edit db.c and at line 406 (after new_shared=...), add if(shared_dirs!=NULL) { and at line 415, just before the G_UNLOCK, add }.
    * In dctc v0.71.0, there is a bug crashing dctc. Upgrade to v0.71.1 to avoid it.
    * In dctc v0.79.0, there is a bug making GDL hangs if "wake up" event is enabled. Upgrade to 0.79.1 to avoid it.
    * In dctc v0.83.5, if you have a compilation error in userinfo.c (probably because you use a gcc2.x and not a 3.x), edit the file and remove the line 102 printf("doing: %d\n",idx);.

VII. dchub
dchub is a DC hub clone. Currently, it is a early stage version. The most useful features are still here. The following features are available:

    * User commands:
          o relay active and passive search query
          o relay passive search result
          o nick list and op list
          o public chat message
          o private chat message
          o get user info
          o relay active and passive transfer query
          o registered user supported
          o broadcast message
          o redirect one user (using chat command, not DC menu)
          o kick a user
          o temporary or permanently ban a user
          o Multiuser private chat (=more than 2 users in a private chat)
    * Hub control:
          o registered user supported (==password support)
          o hub registration on DC hub list
          o max #users
          o redirect incoming users on hub full
          o Perl script support (some sample scripts are provided, including a working one handling minimum share requirements).
          o Python script support.
          o plugin support (a sample is provided).
          o external program support (allows write of programs acting as virtual user on the hub)
          o hub network

dchub sources (v0.5.2) are available here and RPM source package here. To compile, ./autogen.sh ; make; make install. A mirror of the files are available here (Thanks to Andreas Åberg).

VIII. last minute bug fix

    * In dchub-1.2, line 317, replace msg=g_string_new("$OpList "); by g_string_sprintf(msg, "$OpList ");.
