Thanks to the testers who have already logged in (Kung Fu Reference, smafty, g, Northern Soul , KPH, FT, and anyone else that I missed), I'm comfortable with the hub's function and stability. Testers have said it's faster than both clevercactus and soulseek, which is promising. Now we need to see how much it can handle. :D You want in? Here's what you have to do...

1. Register to me via EMAIL. Not responding to this thread. Not an Obner PM. Email. This way, I can keep records and easily reply to you with your login info. Please have 'DC++' somewhere in the subject. colin dot mcginnis at btopenworld dot com

2. Download and install sofwtare. See links below. The Mac client is still undergoing testing, so you may be on your own for a bit. We'll do what we can to help.

3. Setup and login. Check the help and FAQs below. If you're firewall savvy, you should try for active mode by opening two ports in your firewall. If you have no clue what I'm talking about, use passive mode until you can get connected and go from there.

4. Enjoy! Please report any questions or issues in this thread. When in doubt, check your settings, close DC++, and re-open.

Help Desk Agent 09 reporting for duty.

If anyone is looking for real-time set up assistance, feel free to pull me away from work I probably would like to avoid anyway.

On AIM: redallover76

Also, my religion forbids the use of away messages, so if I don't respond right away I may have stepped away or on the phone. I'll be here most of the day, though.

Email sent, I wanna play too. I won't have much to offer until I get something from everyone else unless everyone doesn't mind AAC files . . . otherwise I have 23gb of stuff to offer, some of which will make some of the people on here gag.

I don't think we mind. Once I get the harddrive space to start ripping my own CDs, it'll all be in Ogg Vorbis files. I hope people don't mind then. I don't have much other people wouldn't have anyway.

Cool. I forgot to add that they are not protected AAC files - I just liked the quality-to-filesize ratio AAC offers.

Looks like KungFuReference is already pulling down some Grant Hart from me. Good choice!
