[Feature Request] Connect to different UP-vendors

ToNneTje · #1 (**permalink**) January 26th, 2009

About connecting to UP-vendors... as UP and Phex user i would like to connect ONLY to Phex UP's and Leafs.
Limewire connects to Limewire UP's, Bearshare connects to Bearshare UP's, but Phex connects mostly to Limewire/Frostwire (i was connected to 29 Phex-leafs yesterday, and NO Phex UP's).

As far i understand, Phex prefer other Phex clients to connect to when they are online for at least 2 hours.
Is there a possibility to change this so that Phex will ALWAYS connect to other Phex clients when available?
I want to test this to see if i get other (better?) searchresults, less fake-files, and offcourse because it looks better in my Connection field

Sure. Do you build your Phex from subversion?

Gregor wrote some very efficient and readable comparator code in

src/main/java/phex/host/CaughtHostComparator.java
src/main/java/phex/host/CaughtHost.java

It first checks if the last connection succeeded. Then it checks if the Host is a DecentPhex.

You can make Phex prefer Phex hosts at all times by reducing the requirements for being a DecentPhex in CaughtHost.java:

just comment out the avgDailyUptime if clause in

Code:

    public boolean isDecentPhexHost()
    {
        if ( !StringUtils.equals( vendor, "PHEX" ) )
        {
            return false;
        }
        if ( avgDailyUptime < 7200 )
        {
            return false;
        }
        if ( !isUltrapeer )
        {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

Hi Arne,

"Do you build your Phex from subversion?"

I haven't build anything, i'm not an expert

But changing some settings is even for me possible to do

Do you know a good (free) .class editor, beause i can't open the files

Thanks.

Since you're using GNU/Linux, you don't need to be

Which distribution do you use?
(you need subversion, everything else should already be in place)

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10.

But even build Phex from subversion sounds difficult to me

(Maybe i must spend some time to learn stuff like that)
