Sharing

Shared Directories

Add Folder

Browse for a new folder to add to your share.  If another existing file shares that name, the new name will be made unique by adding another letter to its name. After selecting the directory to add, you will be able to pick the Virtual Name that it will be shown under when other users see your files. If the newly added files have not been hashed, the Hash Progress Dialog will display.  You can choose to let it display, or let hashing continue in the background.

Remove

Remove the selected folder(s).

Share Hidden Files

Share files with the Hidden attribute set and files inside directory with the Hidden attribute set. With this option off, files starting with a . (full stop) will not be shared. Files that have a $ (dollar sign) in the filename will not be shared due to a protocol limitation. Note: this option requires a refresh of the file list, and may cause the client to appear to freeze.

Rename

Change the virtual name on a shared folder. Note: the client will appear to freeze when you exit settings, this is due to a refresh of the file list.

Automatically Open an Extra Slot if Speed is Below ...

If the average upload speed drops below the given number, an additional upload slot will be granted.  These slots are granted once every 30 seconds at maximum.  If the speed of the original uploads increases, the granted slot will not be closed.

Upload Slots

Configure the number of slots that other users can occupy to download files from you.  A remote user can use only one slot for each hub that they're on with you. DC++ supports uploading filelists and files below 64 KiB to other DC++ users without requiring a slot. There's a max of 3 connections in addition to normal slots, these are called minislots.
