The Content Control Panel is intended to help you build your trust/distrust list. You input keywords or a regular expression in the text field and click "Add Rule". Then whenever a search comes to your node that matches that rule it is recorded, together with who searched it. Based on that you can choose to trust or distrust (aka block) that person. If you want to see every query that hits your node, enter the following as a regular expression ".*" (without the quotes).


Regarding the .DS_Store files I agree those should be excluded. I will look into adding some sort of filtering mechanism for such files.

Thanks. Funnily I didn't notice the text box until you mentioned it. It's located at the bottom left corner sort of out of the way.

Added exclusion of hidden files by default, together with "Browse Host" ability and few other features in 0.5.1.

Finally witnessed an upload.
Would it be possible to add upload speeds per file and overall?

The upload process reminds me of how Phex and BearShare display uploads, listing in regards to pieces; once a piece is uploaded the upload vanishes for between a fraction of a second to a second and starts a fresh piece. Watching uploads in Phex confused me for several years (mainly because more than one listing of same upload might be visible simultaneously but not the only reason.)


The sample image is over a period of a couple of minutes.

But I have no idea whether I'm uploading at 5 KB/s or 500 KB/s.

The bandwidth setting is not super clear. It is not clear whether inbound and outband bandwidth is to do with overheads or uploads and downloads or a combination. Either way it seems a little odd that a restart is required after changing the bandwidth settings (unless it is inclusive of overheads.)

An ability to change upload (and download) bandwidth on the fly with immediate effect would be beneficial if this is possible. Also upload slot control. What happens if 400 people suddenly wanted to download from me?

I would also like to eventually see the ability (option) to retain upload listings rather than the default of removing their listing once completed.

Also the Library does not list what files might have been uploaded or search hits in either Tree or Table mode.

I'm a little confused about finding two Muwire (same version) downloads in the Download window. Is this some kind of network distribution for updates? But why two?

The bandwidth setting is the total bandwidth that the application is allowed to consume, including any I2P overhead. Because I2P encrypts and adds padding sometimes, the effective speed of a file transfer will be lower than what is in the setting.


I will look into making it possible to change the bandwidth setting without a restart.


I will look into adding that too.


That is very easy to do, but I'm concerned that the uploads table will fill up very quickly. Pieces are pretty small and you would have a separate row for each piece of a file you've uploaded.



I'll look into adding that too, it will be in the Table mode.



Yes, those are the in-network updates, but there shouldn't have been two of the same file. It's probably a bug.

I decided to shutdown overnight. Upon re-opening I discovered mp3's had found their way into my library shares. I am guessing this might have been due to some changeover process during the update?

On one hand I had added some folders and removed the mp3's and AIFFs. Later version I drag & dropped specific files from folders. For MW to add the entire folder's contents suggests a possible problem? I needed to go through and remove the mp3's from almost every folder. The more recently added files (& their folders) were unaffected. It's my estimation the problem was with the original files I added to shares.

Here's the ugly part. I discovered folders I had never added to shares under the same parent directory. For example a folder called Unknown.

Both downloads were identical size, only difference was different number of hosts downloaded from.

One important thing I should probably document somewhere is that if you drag an entire folder into MW it will share all files and sub-folders. You *cannot* then un-share individual files for as long as the parent folder has been dragged; those files will get re-shared on restart. That probably explains what has happened to you.


If you have a folder and want to share only certain files from it, the way to do it is to drag only those files, not the folder. Alternatively I can add some filtering rules based on file type.

I'm thinking about how to solve this problem, i.e. remember which files in a shared folder have been explicitly unshared, but it will take some time.

I forgot to ask, petty question but does MW show whether someone has browsed your shares?

At least since drag & drop I have been dragging a group of files not the folder (there might have been 2+ exceptions.)
I have certainly not drag & dropped the parent directory. That would be too much work to clean up.
I suspect the problem might have been with the files I added prior to 0.4.16 where I needed to manually remove undesired files from shares. Though my memory is a little vague about the point in time I added the files to share.

Interesting point you made about the adding a parent folder via dnd. That's not ideal when the unshared are not necessarily immediately unshared.
