Thanks. Yeah, PM is the way to go, for these kinds of sites Thanks stark, as well...although for one of those sites I'm glad I made sure my browser security settings were set pretty high. Last edited by Onniguru; 2007-06-29 at 09:25. |

I started playing with perfect dark it seems ok format. I like how the top and bottom screen can be switched around at any time.
the font is pretty small though. and CPU usage might be high on older computers. is the nodes list really updating itself or was that a joke? |

Uh. The point of Share, Winny and (presumably) Perfect Dark is that they are all true peer-to-peer networks with no central controlling server (like, for example, a BT tracker). The list of nodes is just a list of other peers in the network. Once you are connected to just one peer/node to start off with, the client will get lists of other peers/nodes/whatever to connect to from that peer. Hence you only really need the online nodelist once; the first time you set up the program, so it can "bootstrap" itself into the network. To compare with BT: every client is also a tracker. If the client didn't exchange network info with other clients, you'd have Direct Connect except with no hubs, no file lists and no usernames, only hashes. Which would be kinda useless.
tl;dr: you only need the nodelist to get in contact with someone who's already connected to the network; once you are connected to one node, your client will automagically find and connect to others.

No, it's not mentally impaired, it's actually a quite ingenious way to have a distributed network with millions of users and billions of files without any central coordination whatsoever.

I find it's only really a pressing issue if you have hard drive limitations

You can find a Perfect Dark tutorial on jCafe. It's quite reliable in finding manga raws. All my downloads are often finished after a few hours. (Can't say that from Winny or Share). Regular software updates and less fake results contribute to the overall positive feeling of Perfect Dark.

As of right now, Perfect Dark has the localization hard coded the same way WinNY does. Maybe in a future version, there will be a localization file, but I wouldn't count on it.

are files being downloaded automatically show up in query results available for share among other users like torrents?
I noticed in SHARE ex2 that the cache folder is seperate from the upload folder. I wasn't sure if people had access to that immediately in perfect dark. |

At any rate, we should ask in the PD mission threads on 2ch.net. Kaichou (PD dev) lurks around there.

Okay guys... Massive discovery.
As I posited, Perfect Dark can be resource hacked rather easily. (I used XN Resource Editor on perfect dark.exe) Things I was able to change. *Fonts *Font size *Languages *Icons *Dialogs
