Share EX2 Guide - Uploading

To some extent, uploads in Share are automatic. You place files in your uploads folders, Share establishes a connection with one neighbouring node, and slowly uploads the files to it. On the Nodes screen, this is the node labeled Diffuse Up at the bottom of the active nodes list.

If you want to upload a particular file to the network for others to download, you can help the process along in a number of ways. One approach is to go to the Uploads tab, and click the Turbo button. This pauses all your downloads and uploads, and causes Share to focus on uploads to one or two neighbouring nodes. On the nodes screen, you will notice that Share Up stops, and you may get a second Diffuse Up node. Next, go to Queries, and run a Search for the file in your uploads folder that you want to upload. You may notice at this point that not all of the files in your uploads folder have been added to the Upload screen. You right-click on the file you want, and choose "Add to upload." In the Upload window, if it doesn't say transferring next to the file, you may have to move the file to a special express uploads folder, and delete all your other upload folders from the Folders window. In the status bar, it will tell you your upload speed, and in the Upload window, it will tell you how many blocks it has completed. After the file has been uploaded to another node, the filename should turn orange in Queries, and you can shut off Turbo.

Another slower method to upload a file is to right-click on it in Queries, and choose Convert. The file will pop up in the Tasks window, and rapidly be converted into an encrypted file in your Cache. You have to be careful with this feature though because if you are near the quota you set for Cache in your folder window, Share may inadvertently delete sections of the files you have already downloaded in order to stay within that quota. Once a file has been converted to Cache, Share will automatically upload it to neighbouring nodes through Diffuse Up. As it uploads, you may find the size of files in your cache folder shrinking. Share just seems to be freeing up space that is no longer needed.

If you want to shut down Share, but haven't finished the upload, you might want to move the original file out of your uploads folder, so that when Share restarts, it will pick up where it left off, uploading the file, rather than creating a new entry for the file in LinkCache.

Usually once you have uploaded a file once, Share will refuse to upload the same file again. You can get around this though by using a plugin like DiffusionProClone.

Unzip it into the Plugins folder in your Share folder under Program Files. In Share, click on Settings, Plugins, Add and then navigate to the DiffusionProClone.dll file. In your Tools menu, you will now see an item marked DiffusionProClone. You click on 有効 to turn it on. DiffusionProClone is designed to be used in conjunction with Turbo to speed things up. Other upload plugins include UpOnly and AutoUploadPlugin. (Incidentally, all of them are designed to block Retina Sharebot from tracing your upload).
