 Visions & ideas 

Planned features

• Serves all files underneath the configured root directory, alternatively only those matching a list of specified file extensions
• Supports simultaneous connections to multiple IRC networks, ie. offer your files on Undernet, HardNet etc. at the same time!
• Uses a prioritized list of servers per IRC network that are tried each until a connection to the network is established
• Included file list generation utility that supports MP3 ID3 tags
• Port range for DCC SENDs can be limited (important for firewall setups)
• Supports DCC resumes if clients request it
• All relevant limits, ie. send slots and queue length, are configurable
• Seperate limits for sending of file list
• Transfers that repeatedly fall below a configurable threshold can be aborted, with a seperate threshold for large files
• Supports @find/@locator searches
• Abusive users and users that repeatedly have aborted sends can be added to a ban list
• Customizable server advertisements in the configured channels
• Logging to syslog or an own logfile, eg. /var/log/metalserve.log.
• Logging can include PRIVMSGs sent by users
• Runs as a daemon without direct user control and activate admistration
