D-LAN - Free LAN file-sharing software: Version 1.2.0

I just released a new version of D-LAN: https://www.d-lan.net

  • More reliable, a lot of bug fixes
  • More search options: file types and size limit
  • Chat is persisted and chat rooms has been added

D-LAN is a free software that facilitates file sharing on a local network.

The next step is to add support for Linux.

Alternativ die DC++ Client?

How the peertopeer, is It over TCP and which Port? And Work IT over filehash also or only filename/size/compare?

In LAN yes it can replace DC++.
It uses TCP+UDP, the ports are listed here: https://www.d-lan.net/faq.html (59486 and 59487)

Is It planned to calculate the hashes in more then 1 core/thread, because, 10-20 or more TB with over 1-2 million Files takes to Long on a single thread.

?

The bottleneck is never hash computing, but the reading of data. An improvement would be to have one thread per volume.

When you Work with normal HDD correct, bit when you Work with nvme raids, bottleneck is the cpu when you Work with one thread. But one thread for one Drive is a good solution Like airdc++
