Irish dc++ hubs

dogz

just wondering if anyone here knows of any irish dc++ hubs, or has anyone thought of setting one up

dogz

come on answer

Cryos

i dont know any....

I have thought of setting one up, but i was talking with a guy who runs his own (guess what hes in sweden with a 10mbit line!) and he says that with like an avarage of 3000 people on his hub the bandwidth generaly is very high and at times his connection can get slow..

So my dsl .5meg line wouldnt be able to coap, unless i move to waterford and get that sweet 9meg pack off cablesurf!!

*dumb question* Whats dc++?

Cryos

its a file sharing system based on connecting to user hubs instead of say Kazaa central hub, you connect to someone elses computer along with say another person you search for an file and it will tell you who has that file along with how many slots.

Its much better than any other P2P file sharing program, its quicker in IMO aswell... goto http://www.download.com and type dc++ in thesearch and download it there and try for yourself.

Ah I see! thank you

I dont mean setting up a public hub just for boards mebers of someting keep the adress private and only tell those u want to connect. that should keep your connection fast with a few users only. im on 512k aswell btw

Mutant_Fruit

Well... from past experience, you should easily be able to run a 60 person hub with only 12kb/sec upload.

So with 512kbps upload speed, IBB would be ideal for up to about 300 people, maybe more, depending on how many people are chatting/searching at the same time.

Cryos

Private one... hmm i suppose, you can get your dns off http://www.no-ip.com aswell for free so irlprivate.no-ip.com:80 would be good.

bandwith still an major issue i think tho

dogz

well any1 want to try it for a day or 2

Cryos

ill run it off dads machine at work using YHub, but isnt keeping it private goign to restrict how much files your gona find?

pm me for more details anyone

LoBo

will have a look tonight..

Mutant_Fruit

*cough* it went temporarily down, and is back up now.

bus77

wow Over 300 users on last night, all Irish! thats the most we've had so far

Dustaz

I saw this in your sig the other day mfruit and joined but there was only like 4 people on


Great idea - there used to be one called Dubhub which was great but unfortunatly went down due to lack of interest.

Mutant_Fruit

i have to RMA my harddrive, so if anyone is interested in continuing to host the hub while that happens, PM me here. If not, it looks like the hub will be down for good.

The Brigadier

There are a couple of Irish based hubs....

Go to hublist.org and you can search by country

bus77

Mutant_Fruit

gallifrey.no-ip.org:411 For Gallifrey a Dr.Who Hub

Yeah - I understand now - I entered the old address of irishdcplusplus.no-ip.org:411
and it dropped me into Dr Who land - where i was told i was about to get
kicked for not sharing DrWho stuff.

There is a message when you log into irishdcplusplus.no-ip.org:411 which says rather unhelpfully...
"This is not an Irish Hub..... If you have arrived here expecting Guinness and Craic turn back now!!!!"

I had to ask the Hub operator himself not to kick me and where the Irish one went.

I was just suggesting we ask for it to be a little more helpful like...
"This is not an Irish Hub..... Guinness and Craic is now on Port 2000" or something.
