DC++

Create a hub

Asked by Narender Charan

Hi, i am a colllege student. I have seen my friends running here and there with pendrives and portable hard-disk to take data from one another. So i want to solve this problem.
                                                                                              As my whole college campus is wifi enabled so i want to make a common spot where every student can share and download data with good speed and it can be possible with DC++. So do you have any idea to make it possible...
                                 According to me....At first i have to make a hub........ so how to make it????
                                                                                                                                   how much speed will we got as there are all members are going to be on same server of my college???

Hello Narender,

First things first, the software "DC++" is _not_ used for creating a hub. You need another software for starting a hub.
DC++ is then used by others to connect to the hub.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Connect_%28file_sharing%29#Hub_software for a list of common hub software.

You will also need to make a decision on the type of your hub. Hubs comes in two types:
Direct Connect (DC)
Advanced Direct Connect (ADC) - newer and more advanced (duh!)

Cheers,
Sid
