Perfect Dark mini-FAQ, replacement for Share

[Syobon]

I can't get full download speed with PD like in Share, my unity is over 2gb but under 40gb, I have tried download several popular files, I think PD is limiting my download speed because I don't have 100kb of upload speed, my connection is quite asymmetrical (8mb down 320kb up).

Try uploading at least 2gb worth of data.

can you explain better

[mad88]

Bosskey

Alternatives to the boss key
On modern operating systems, applications may be minimized or switched to the background with a keyboard shortcut. Under desktop environments with multiple workspaces, one possibility is to maintain one "boss" workspace, and switch to it when the boss is coming.

It's like a uTorrent (uTorrent->Preferences->General)

No boss key, and you ought not to be using PerfectDark at work in the first place.

Just wanted to say thanks to guy for an excellent mini FAQ!

Last time I checked perfectdark was still experimental (and only in Japanese), but now when I tried it was a piece of cake getting it up and running. Much easier and overall more modern and well thought through than Share.

By the way I checked wiki's article regarding PerfectDark and according to one ref. it's been "deciphered:

"There also came the news that Perfect Dark has been deciphered by NetAgent, which allegedly has the capability to determine encrypted information such as IP addresses, port numbers, keywords, version numbers of clients, and even file names, file sizes, cache creation dates and ratings from the public nodes.[3]"

I checked the ref but it's in Japanse. Any info about this?

NetAgent still appears to only be targeting file uploaders (I don't know if their crawler can even find downloaders), but since the new P2P laws allow law enforcement to also go after downloaders, you'd best be on good behavior.
