DC++

Thanks for the link, Im having trouble finding that topic but I'll keep looking.

Im trying to figure out how to multi-hub with PtokaX. I'm not sure what to put for MHServer address or even the other options. My understanding is that multi-hubbing is having multiple hubs connecting together to form one server? is that correct? I am trying to use this feature for my college hub so...

Thanks a lot for the Replies so far. I followed the guide that Xan1977 posted and got the port forwarding set up. I also set up my PtokaX hub up with the hub address being my outside IP. I've tried to have my friends connect but they get "Connection timeout". I had them try connecting in passive mod...

I'm trying to run a hub using PotkaX from my home so that me and my friends can DL off each other. I have a DSL connection thats running through a linksys router. What do I need to do to run a hub? Thanks!

First off I appreciate everybodies resonses. to answer the question: "How do you plan to stop users from using a plain client from entering?" You can get scripts that only allow certain versions of DC++, therefore we only allow our version. I have a feeling that the snitch does not know a whole lot ...

thats what we were thinking but...but how do I do that?

The reason we had people register at first was to be able to enforce bans. Before when we banned somebody they just changed their username and/or IP and jumped right back on. The other reason was to keep network Admins off since this school is very Anti-filesharing. oh and yes we are behind a firewa...

I run a humble 4TB hub on a college campus. The network administrators have recently decided that filesharing is bad and have blocked our DNS names several times. We have figured out that there is a snitch that keeps telling them what we change our address to. So heres our plan: 1. Make a executable...

Thanks for all the advice people. To reply to your posts: We dont kick people unless they break the rules. I like the "past-exam" folder, thats a good idea (im sharing a dynamics solution manual. We have a website for people to go to and log on and have personalized news and such. We are actually st...

Hey there, I run a humble 4TB( share record) hub on a college campus. I am proud to say that my hub has about 25% of the student body (800 on campus) that uses my hub. The problem is we have about 170 students that are registered but there are only about 70 on at any given time. I just wanted to bor...

So then is registering users really the best way? It just seems like such a hassle. Are there any bots/scripts that could help? I do want to avoid assigning ID's because I have heard those can be faked also but I really don't know much about the process.

well that wouldnt solve anything because they could just change their IP's like they normally do to get past the ban.
Also just to make things clear this isnt a personal network. It is the schools network. Thanks for the comment though.

We all know that permanent bans can be easily gotten around by changing your IP or username. I have seen other threads disscussing this but nobody really talks about the solutions. I want to keep this thread just about the solutions please! *The most practical solution I have heard so far is to regi...
