wow.. 1.6 is looking like it will have some awesome features.
Right now, I found something that would be a very simple way of allowing me to make a mIRC script for HFS.
The script would modify a text file that the HFS uses to allow access by IP address.
The premise would be simple:
Someone wants to download a file from the HFS host, so they send a command... my script would do all the neccesary information handling within mIRC, and add their IP address to the access .txt that HFS checks upon connection. The mIRC script would then delete the IP address after a specified time amount (allowing them to start the download) then would remove the IP from the .txt file that HFS uses. The user would be downloading the file, and without their IP in the .txt file, they could not start another download. The mIRC script would handle how many times they could connect to the HFS per day, and even monitor traffic to a certain IP, and limit amounts of data to be used. Even add waiting lines for people to queue up.
I would love to see this feature built into HFS, as I am a mIRC scripter, and know many who could make use of this would be happy to see a mIRC script out there.
The only thing that I need incorporated into HFS is a way to enable a .txt file check that allows IPs in there to have access to a certain account type (which are already imbedded into HFS). If enabled, it would check the IP accessing and compare it to the .txt, and if the IP is in the .txt, it would grant them the extra priveleges.
I would do all the mIRC scripting and featured, and would be more than happy to give you the script, and provide technical support for it.
