I used DC++ a long time ago.

Here's a tutorial for you:

http://aya.walraven.org/dctutorial/

First you have to connect to a hub which you can download from a public list.

After connecting you have to read the rules because I find the ops can kick you out easily.

If you find you are having problems connecting to a hub you might not be sharing enough.

The last time I check 10 GB of shared material was the minimum for most hubs. That's probably have increased in a few years.

If you're searching for files I suggest using MoGLO. This third party search engine will search all the hubs at once, though it may 10 minutes to run a complete search.

If you're downloading from somebody, I believe a passive connection cannot download from a passive connection. Meaning you better know how to use your firewall and router.

Personally I didn't like DC++. Too many overpowered ops and users who don't share properly. eMule is a better at sharing.

i agree, go emule

 

[The Shadow]

thanks for the tutorial.
this helped me completly.
and is emule free?

 

[D.D.]

yes it is

 

[The Shadow]

great,but i have a another question.
how do i stop downloads that i don't want anymore in dc++?

 

[Lentoman]

Personally I use eMulePlus, should be at least as good as eMule:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emuleplus
http://emuleplus.info/

 

[WindHydra]

eMulePlus isn't based on the newest eMule so I don't like it oO eMule (or other eMule mods based on the newest emule) is way better

 

[Lentoman]

It probably has features that eMule still doesn't have though and it's open, unlike some of the other mods/ports of eMule. I like it and have no problems so I'll stick to it... Used to be an eMule freak earlier tbh, long time since I last tried it, might be as good as eMulePlus now though... Does it have flags etc for countries?

 

[WindHydra]

I use emuleMorph and it has flags. What does flags do anyway except making it more colorful
And I think emulePlus doesn't support Unicode so the file names in Chinese are messed up. It also doesn't have Kademlia support.

 

[Lentoman]

Ah well I heard Kademlia brings down alot of home-routers due to massive connection amounts making the router dropping packets, so many people turn it off.

You have a point about the unicode characters I must say, might be a good enough reason to try eMule again. ^^

Flags or countries rather, is fun for the statistics mostly, to see where most users reside.

 

[KanedA]

i agree, go emule

or some torrent p2p software like azureus

 

[ChankastRules]

I really hope you people aren't using this for any illegal activity!

I use eMule and ABC (Bittorrent). Kademila was great for getting sources quicker, but as mentioned, it crashes my router. The original eMule client with Kad disabled is fine tho.

 

[Lentoman]

I'm using eMule now, there are some nice features but the interface is a little bit messier and uglier than eMulePlus. Hopefully, eMulePlus will catch up with the unicode stuff, I read they are planning to make Plus module based like Miranda also, sounds like fun.

The other nice feature I found so far is the search thing, where you can view all the different filenames of a certain file and select what name to download it as. Good for spotting fake files also. Maybe I'll stay with eMule once I discover more stuff. Been away for a long time from it.

 

[KillerShots]

Personally, I use samba combined with openVPN + zebra. Doesn't do the fancy splitting files in half and downloading from multiple people, but it's nice and simple (use windows explorer to copy/paste using windows file sharing (aka samba)).

DC++ is complicated for the first time only. Beyond that it's very cool. I've been using it for 2 or 3 years. Now I'm an operator in 3 hubs
