Tag

This addition to the <description> field was introduced to ease concerns by hub operators that DC++ users were joining too many hubs and not allowing enough uploads. (The original DC client only allowed users to join a single hub.) The tag is now a de facto standard.

  • ++: indicates the client
  • V: tells you the version number
  • M: tells if the user is in active (A), passive (P), or SOCKS5 (5) mode
  • H: tells how many hubs the user is on and what is his status on the hubs. The first number means a normal user, second means VIP/registered hubs and the last one operator hubs (separated by the forward slash ['/']).
  • S: tells the number of slots user has opened
  • O: shows the value of the "Automatically open slot if speed is below xx KiB/s" setting, if non-zero

Example: 

<++ V:0.673,M:P,H:0/1/0,S:2>
