a 3 days interval seems really artificial and doesn't fit well in any of
the following categories:

- important update -> keep nagging to make sure the update is eventually
applied.

- unimportant update -> status bar message / unintrusive button
somewhere.

Title:
  Upgrade Dialog Should Only Be Persistent If Necessary

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Recently I reported this bug:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/344833 . This was resolved
  as wont fix.

  The argument against is that new versions of DC++ introduces new
  network features. If people keep using old versions of DC++, they are
  holding back the network. My suggestion is to only show the upgrade
  dialog every time when the user is currently using a client that holds
  back the network. If the older version the user is using does not
  affect the network in a negative way, the user should be able to
  disable the upgrade dialog until the next upgrade of DC++ is
  available.

  Also, most people do not understand or read the text presented on the
  upgrade dialog. Just "Do you want to upgrade?" is way more effective.
