Using DC++
« on: 19 Jul 2006, 18:56 »
OK, so I downloaded DC++ finally, mostly because it came so highly recommended by people I want to steal music from (Khar and Kai). Problem is, I don't exactly know how to use it. I believe Khar posted a tutorial for it a while back, but the search function returned no results.

If you could repost that, it would be extremely helpful. And then maybe everyone who uses it here could post their info in order to foster more efficient piracy?

Basically, turn your connection setting to either active or passive (passive is easier, but some hubs don't allow passive searches, so you should probably set to active. You'll need your IP, and the ports should be in the help files). Then you simply join a hub (View > Public Hubs). You can filter the hubs to find hubs that deal in what you want. Then use the normal search function (not Searchspy or ADL search) and get downloading.

The big thing with DC though, is you'll need to set up your share before getting out and joining hubs. DC is not a program for leechers. Almost all decent hubs will require you to have several gigabytes of appropriate material to share. If you already have your music and videos organised into folders, this is relatively simple, though somewhat time-consuming.

Also, I'm on like, 5 hubs but most of those are private ones. The ones you can get to though:

Gothic Castle (gothiccastle.no-ip.org)
MetalPunk (thegud.no-ip.org)


EDIT: Yeah, I just spent the past week or so organizing ALL of my music, because it was a bastard for me, them, everybody to go through.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Can you create a private one between just two people? Because quite frankly, my music isn't tremendously well organized either. It's put in folders by artist and that's about it.

I go by an old little moniker of TheLovableCynic.


I don't know if you can create hubs between two people or not. It doesn't matter an absurd amount, I went for months without organizing mine. At all.

Well yeah, but most of the reason I set it up was so I could steal all your music to augment my admittedly pathetic collection.

sigur-ros.no-ip.com:412

That's the one I'm on. Found it through sigur-ros.co.uk. (I love Sigur Ros 'cause they encourage people to bootleg their concerts!)

Pretty good, for the most part. I've been able to find just about everything I've wanted to find. I use IRC for the rest.

If I can't find it on either, I give up.

well than the organization won't be much of an issue at all. I should be on it most of tomorrow, so just connect sometime and swipe it from me.

Haha, Kai, just queued up some stuff from you, and in the process noted that you seem to have downloaded all your Sol Invictus from none other than me. It's a small world.

If you're going to do that, you're better using Filezilla and granting directory access.
