Is there a KAD plug-in?

[awdrifter]

Is there a plug-in that will allow Shareaza to connect to the KAD network? Thanks.

[zigozag]

Unfortunately no, there is no such plug-in, and more generally Shareaza cannot connect to Kad.

[ailurophobe]

Although, in theory it should be possible to create a local "server proxy" that looks to Shareaza like a server and does the actual server connection and kad for Shareaza because ED2K allows the UDP/kad port to be different from the one used for file transfers. I think somebody did this for BitTorrent DHT.

[awdrifter]

Has anyone actually made this "server proxy" plugin yet? Thanks.

[old_death]

No. This is only a theoretical possibility...

A year has passed since the last post, and I see that Shareaza 2.7 is released, does it support KAD?

[old_death]

Shareaza 2.7 hasn't been released yet and the current version does not support KAD...

[melerix]

this is sad, because ed2k shares is quite useless now without kad.

[awdrifter]

I see that there's a new version (2.7) on the home page, does this version support Kad?

[old_death]

No. But it fixes several eD2k compatibility problems.

I am more concerned that Shareaza has for a while included a KAD secttion for the caches, and includes a button to switch it on and off.

All reference to KAD should be removed or hidden, if there is no working option, then the code is cluttered with a messy extra, and users see a messy extra in the GUI.

If there are no plans to add/fix KAD, then we way as well also have a fake sock-drawer or hat-stand included.

How about changing the KAD button for a PANIC button ?

I just noticed there's a 2.7.1 update, has this version added any KAD support?

PS. I couldn't log on to the board with the old account anymore.
