Hub Help

Alright guys. This is what I did. Downloaded DC++. Shared over 250 megs of Matt stuff. I can connect for about 5 minutes and then it kicks me off. Also, when I'm connected, I can't seem to see anyone else. It's wierd. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Did you register for it? Check the sticky post in the NF lounge.

Yea I got a username and password but I don't know what to do with it.

[Crusader]

Change your default username to whatever it is. When you get in type:

/password yourpassword

[msmolinski21]

Alright I might be a moron, but I still don't understand. Could you explain it to the most tired college student in the United States?

I had trouble entering the password when i first got onto the hub. Don't you have to use the angle brackets? so it would be:

/password <yourpassword>

?

This should help.

What do the little icons mean? Mine's blue, and everybody else's is green. ;)

[Crusader]

I guess it just shows whom you are.

[msmolinski21]

Damnit. I still don't have icons.

 

edit: Well, it says I'm connected, I just can't see anyone.

Hmm...it says this on the hub:

This hub has now gone completely private. (Pre-Registered users only!)

Could that have anything to do with it? ;)

Yea I did that. I just don't know where to put in my username and password. "I'm a hot little potato right now!"

in DC++, click File > Settings. Make sure your username, email, description and all that is filled out. Also check that you have your IP entered if using Active, otherwise choose Passive. configure upload/download locations if you haven't already... now click the button on the top for Favourites (hover over them until you find it. should be the fourth one, but i use a different client). Once you're there, click New at the bottom. Fill out the hub address, add a short description, and add all your user info in there too. Click OK when you're done, and put a checkmark in the box (this will make it so you connect to the hub every time DC++ is opened, and you won't need to enter your password every time). highlight the hub, and click Connect at the bottom. you should see the connection message in the mainchat, and users should be in the right column. double-click someone's name to view their files and download them (note: if you use passive, you won't be able to download from other passive users - ones with a red brick wall by their name)

 

may sound like a pain in the ass, but it's really not that hard. also, this is just a one-time procedure. you won't need to do it everytime you open DC++. If you still experience problems, visit the hub forum for help.
