How are automatic searches matched?
For this feature to work, you’ll need to have it enabled. File -> Settings -> Advanced -> Automatically search for alternative download locations. Basically, the same algorithm as “search for alternates” is used. Since DC++ 0.670, autosearching will use the root hash instead of the file name for its search. After the search is sent, any result returned that has exactly the same TTH is added as a source. DC++ Change Log Related Entries: 0.670: Autosearch and automatch queue is now done by tth only (!) (thanks, garg). Automatch search done by tth only, should make things slightly faster. Search for alternates automatically uses tth if available (thanks, garg). 0.4033: Removed autosearch string — it’s not used any more; fixed a bug with autosearch repeating the same search needlessly (this should result in fewer autosearches, good for the hubs) 0.4032: Fixed issue with autosearch not getting filelists; fixed an issue with autosearch by tth not being done 0.402: Automatic search matching
