Those two panels contains various options, the most important ones are described below.

• Online user format

  • This can be used to customize the appearance of each user in the panel with the following token: %icon%, %nick%, %aname%, %account%, %ip%. The tokens are self explanatory beside %aname% which refers to the assigned name of the account.

• Enforce priority rules

  • This will enforce the priority rules when people are downloading from the server. It will swap people in and out of the queue to respect the priority constraints but will not disconnect any users.

• Use file base index

  • This will make the server use a file to store some of the index information. This will slow down the server but might be necessary if you have a lot of files and not enough memory. For example, a server with 200000 files takes about 150-160MB of memory if you don't have that much you will have to either use the file indexing, reduce the number of files you have, or getting more memory. If you have a slower machine <1ghz and using this option on a server with multiple slower hard drive the server will respond slowly to user request and will probably take a lot of your cpu time but will fulfill the upload/download request on time.

• Automatically start server on startup

  • This will cause the server to refresh the file list, panels and then actually start.

• Show grid in table

  • This option will cause the table grid like appearance to be shown in the table. Please note that certain look do not support the grid, e.g. default mac look.

• Show guest/current account only in the priority table

  • This will cause only the guest account listed in the setup panel and the account currently active to be displayed in the priority list. A currently active account is defined to be a folder in the “users” folder under the server root.

• Automatically ban illegal server access

  • This will automatically add the ip address of people sending command to the server without properly being logged in. This should never happen, this is probably the result of some modified hotline client to download from server without being visible.

• Authorize guest account with bot in addition to normal login

  • This option will send accounts listed in the guest account list a message added to the welcome message that they will have to reply to in order not to be disconnected. The message has the format “login ” and helps ensure that only humans uses your guest account.
