    What is a Direct Connect server, and what does it do?

    You can connect directly to MBSE via telnet, IFC, ITN and Binkp. :)

    Direct Connect is P2P protocol, that means if i have huge files in fidonet it wont drain my own bandwidth to download it via P2P if MBSE supported DC+ protocol, i cant understand that in 2015 its still just using FTN without P2P support

    No worries. I try to keep up as best I can.. ;)

    You can connect directly to MBSE via telnet, IFC, ITN and Binkp. :)

    It is an interesting idea and I have heard it floated before. I am just a user of MBSE though and not a developer so.. :)

    client

    When I need these sort of things I use one of those two.

    software exists, but why not use it direct in MBSE ?

    A starting place would be needed, is there a proposal that we could use as
    a starting point. It would need to be usable across BBS and/or mailer types wouldn't it?

    An interesting idea but it seems complicated to me.

    I guess torrent files could be made available on the BBS instead of the
    actual file, as long as they are seeded.

    You want to expand on that - and that is assuming you are using mbse !

    then you assume too much about FTN in toto...

    of course it is... FTN does not (thankfully!) incorporate any P2P c4rp... if you want P2P, then you aren't looking at FTN stuffs... maybe in the future if someone developes a P2P protocol for FTN, documents it and makes it widely available where other FTN systems pick it up and start using it...

    frankly, i cannot see P2P being used for FTN message transfers ever... that because each packet is specific to each individual system... if you want to try
    to brainstorm something like this, the NET_DEV echo is available... be prepared
    to post documentation on the operation and also develop and make availabe binaries for testing... i won't even mention embedding this in an existing mailer so that others can easily acquire and use the new method...

    I can see a logic for files (large) sent via the filegate using a torrent type system but it would be very difficult to exclude specific classes of traffic i.e., mail.

    The general speed of the internet is enough already for the purpose - providing
    we do not get large file updates on a frequent time interval such as silly game
    engines that no one wants to download :)

    There are one or two sources of these that drives me up the wall at times as they come from a slow source !

    At the moment my (down/up) speeds has gone (over the last 2 months) from 8Mb/800Kb to 17Mb/1.2Mb.

    Hopefully when we finally move to our new home in January we will get a 74Mb/20Mb (other speeds including higher are available subject to wallet which as I am retired is somewhat limited) which should cover anyone/bbs downloading from me - it is hardly the case that many/any are on their system asking this to happen but are running as an automated script.
    The benefit to me will be to process uploads quicker and get the called/poller disconnected for the next one but I do allow 2 / 3 at a time to be connected (can't remember the exact number) but I do run web, ftp, rdbms, mainframe and other services at the same time and they need bandwidth between them so limit individual services - must find a way that they can all talk together so this can be more flexable - very smart switch linked to the router?


    So in a nutshell - no, not really a useful function for mbse or for that matter
    any other bbs/mail system.
