Too many old bugs

Postby siavoshkc » 04 Aug 2012 11:34

On the download description of version 2.6.0.0 it is written that the focus was being on fixing bugs. But many old open tickets we see in tracker are in contrast to that saying. There are many major bugs and they not only make using it difficult for current users but also prevents us from promoting Shareaza. HTTP downloading is practically unusable. In result I have to use another software like DAP or IDA for that purpose.

I have a feeling the Gnutella1 connection problems are an old bug too...either that or someone found an exploit that breaks all versions of GWC(which I highly doubt).

We should also note that despite great new feautres like DHT and DC++ being added the size of G2 is plummeting rapidly

This style of p2p network is dying, gone g1, g2 is still here I use only ed2k, dc + + and Torrent is a pity, though in my country, Ares Galaxy is a very popular program.

Actually all p2p are dyeing because there is no sophisticated filtering spam system.
There are too many fake results to our searches.
I started seeing them around 2006 first time.
Now there are almost only fake results.
Anti P2P companies pay ppl to spam us.
Edit: (type in search any very long non existing word for example 'kenjazablejaza' hit enter and you'll hit spamers ;) )

Useful thing in all of this, wouldn't be blaming developers of free, open, and very useful p2p software like shareaza,
but giving constructive suggestions how to improve this current state, and BAN those who do not respect p2p out of this scene.

Constructive Idea
For example some open source project where all spamers IP's will be recorded.
List of currently banned should be publicly visible and down loadable trough some API.
And P2P software should implement this API, and ask user to download this list on 24h basis.
Also allowing users to give positive and negative points for IP's (1 user can only give 1 positive or negative to same IP).
If some IP's get more and more negative hits, simply increment BAN timeout (ban timeout would start for example 1 day only, 100 hits 2 days, and so on). Also if get more and more positive hits, forgive him previous trans passings, and remove him from ban list.

This will improve NON fake results in searches.
And preferable more and more ppl will start using this kind of software.

PS: I am willing to give my developing time to this kind of project, so please do contact me ;)
