Here's some directions for getting hooked up to DC++. Somebody emailed me these a while back. I got a TON of software and such from DC++.
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/
install dc++
open the program, and go to files, settings
Type a name into the name field
click on downloads on the left hand side and set your download directory
click on sharing, then you have to choose the directories you want to share. Do not share installed programs or you'll get banned from most hubs.
Note! On this page you should see a upload slots field. That's the number of people who can download from you. Most hubs require 3 slots per hub you are connected to. So plan on 3 for one hub, 6 for 2 hubs, etc...
Click Ok to close the settings window.
In the menu area the first icon is a computer monitor with a T shaped thing going into it. That's supposed to be a networked computer. Click on that and wait a minute for the huublist to load.
Once a huge list of names appears choose a hub that looks good and double-click. You can filter the results of the hublist using the filter. (for example 'xxx' will give you mostly hubs that allow porn
)
Once you're in the hub, there's a search function that looks like a magnifying glass. Search for what you want. If you find somebody that looks interesting, right click on them or the item that you've searched and click on get file list. That way you can view their whole share.
