AGS DC++ HUB

[n3tgraph]

Hey Lads,

I disgussed this with one or two members in #ags,
and we thought it might be handy to have our own DC++ channel, so we can share illegal rare software people have trouble with finding...

anyway
join in at:

213.93.124.148:1412  (somehow the port needs to be there to)

thou can download DC++ at Click

If you don't know what DC++ just ask someone in the channel, k?

greet n3t

Got on. Twas Terribly slow. No one was on. Got off.

Seems interesting, but it's no fun it no-one signs on.

Excuse moi?

[Pet Terry]

There's only two people on the hub at the moment, where is everyone?

[Nellie]

In the early stages of a new DC hub, there's never anybody there.  You'll just have to have a bit of patience while people cotton on and slowly seep in.

Presumably we'll be able to transfer AGS games on this hub?

[Hueij]

Okay, I have DC++ installed. Anyone cares to explain to this computer-illiterate what to do next?

[LGM]

I like DC alot, but can you get a faster server? It's terribly slow and takes 10 seconds for a message to appear.

[Inkoddi]

I think it's the distance that makes it so slow.
It would take atleast three hours for LGM to download a 100Mb file from me

[LGM]

Well.. Where is the server located? If it's in another country, I guess that's it

We should have two hubs. American Hub and European Hub

[Gilbert]

Hmmm apart from the message speed, isn't the downloading speed determined only by the connection between the downloader and the one he downloads from? I think once you get the file list from a reasonable fast (relative to you) user, you can have the downloads without much problems, so we just need more people coming and have their spaces shared (I'm not there yet). Moreover, for messaging stuffs we can always use other thingies like the IRC channel and whatever.

Didn't Chrille have something like this, only it was based upon his server rather than a peer to peer type thing?

[Gilbert]

As far as I know, the direct connection hubs are different from Hotline (which Chrille used, but the AGS channel no longer exists), DC used file sharing among users (I think that's something like Kazaa, but i never used kazaa or edonkey, etc so I'm not sure), so you got p2p transfers while downloading/uploading files from/to other users.

[DGMacphee]

So, in other words... yes.  

[LGM]

I like Direct Connect Better. It's faster and more stable.

Well I started this little project, because we  I hear a lot of:

a: do you have this game?
b: YESH!
a: can you DCC it via mIRC?
b: I'll try
a: Wooohoo \o/
b: Damnit, my firewall won't let me send it
a: DANG! Maybe you can try e-mail?
b: No, dude, the zip file is much to big
a: Don't you have an FTP or something?
b: No, I don't even know what an FTP is
a: *sigh*
b: So now what?
a: nevermind :'(

on #ags....

So I thought this might be a usefull medium to share files we make for eachother, or who knows what for - sharing games perhaps

The server is located in Holland on a webserver of a friend of mine. I don't know if his connection has influence on down/uploads between members. If someone has some bright suggestions, don't refrain to tell

(is refrain a good word)??
