Hi,

isn't it weird that downloading huge file with good bandwidth takes only couple of hours while deleting them from MY OWN HDD takes days??? It should be definitely speeded up to, lets say, no more than an hour. Otherwise it just ridiculous...

Can it be changed?  :12:

I'm up for decreasing the time needed to delete, hide/unhide and encrypt/decrypt your own files.

Fe. Hiding a file is important if you want to protect your file. It shouldn't take over 90 hours cause by the time you get it hidden, it's already stolen probably  :13:

I suggest that the time should be limited to 24 or 48 hours. What do you or any of you out there, think about that?

If we can come to an agreement, me and Exousia will be happy to give the message to Sir Emi.  :19:

I agree with you. As hiding is a form of encryption or FILE SYSTEM tampering it should take considerable amount of time but I also agree that it shouldn't be counted in days for your own system! It should depend on the file size but, lets say, no more than 24 hours for hiding and an hour for deleting. What do you think about that?

i agree entirely, and allow password protect on files (similar concept to server admin)

I do think it would be nice to be able to encrypt a file, and still be able to use it as the admin... since I encrypt just about everything at home (in rl) and can still run them...

In general everything happening on your computer and started by you should happen a lot faster than doing it remotely but deleting own files from own HDD just HAS TO be quicker....

update to last: and be able to 'lock' tasks, whereby they can only be killed by the admin, but use triple the resources, halved, plus 1000 (or 10,000 RAM) more resources, eg: if i had a process taking 1000, 100,000 respectively, it would then use up 2500 CPU, 160,000 RAM. This would add an extraordinary twist to PvP, and to downloading/uploading...

Deleting a file on localhost is already 10x times faster then the remote deletion.

but can still take over 160 hours.....

yeah so it should be faster

and the 24 seems good

24 hrs is still too much  :12: perhaps a 5 hr cap? or some 'software local host delete' software, reducing time taken to delete ON THE LOCAL GATEWAY by X1.01 every 0.1 version?

yeah but 1 seems a bit small

I have no idea what bontrose is saying, but I would like to say that when it takes 1/20th or even 1/100th the time to download the file from a remote server as it does to delete it, I think we have a problem.

how so am i being unclear? yeah the fact it is a promplem is what we have been stressing

see? this is what we have been saying

That post meant nothing, as far as I can tell, and thanks for just recapping the whole thread in one post?

Perhaps, but you can always upgrade bw to download faster, while you can not upgrade delete software :)

That's what I'm saying, on localhost you should be able to assign more CPU to delete so it goes faster, but not on remotehost.

that was one of my previous ideas, which most ppl sed no 2  :S

yeah face it ppl r hypocrites

I've never seen that suggested before, so either I missed this post or you're mistaken.  The only suggestion I saw that was close was your "locking tasks" suggestions, using more resources to lock the proces....


:stupid:

 :ermm: Sure bontrose, sorry that pretty much everything that spills out of your mouth sounds like it came from a 14 year old with an IQ of 23...

not to really be mean to your ara, but before someone else types it.... with an iq of 23, you would not be able to talk... even a retarted persons iq is close to 70... but I am sure we all get your point. wich said point is accurate...

lol u must have missed the post then :P go to http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=1371.msg17333#msg17333 (http://www.hacker-project.com/forum/index.php?topic=1371.msg17333#msg17333)

Ah, well you barely gloss over it in your suggestion.  Give it some detail, have it make sense.  If you just say "a task uses more resources than normal, and is therefore completed faster" do you want it, twice as fast? Three times? For twice the resources? Four times?

Flesh out your suggestions before you start slinging them around.

dropdown menu with %ages, as in the transfers page...

Do you want that to be percentages of your total CPU? Because that'll get a bit ridiculous.  I know I don't want to use 5% of my total CPU on one delete... and if I have less than 5% CPU left (which could be a ton of deletes at the current resource requirements) I would only be able to do one delete with any sort of speed...

I think both the BW and this need to be a box where you enter the number of the BW or CPU you would want to use (if this idea was implemented, BW needs to change anyway)

great ieda... but you do realize that the bw idea HAS been said...

text box then...
