IMO, this is not needed for 2 reasons: 1. The tab turns red when the hub is not connected. (No need to open all windows as stated.) 2. I want to leave the hub window open so any disconnected hubs try to reconnect. Hubs can disconnect somewhat frequently due to ISP problems, or if the hub gets restar...

I got a 9500, and softmodded it to a 9700...then OCed it to a 9700 pro.

It does sorta conflict with my MoBo (Giga 7vrx), but it runs all my games extremely well. I'd recommend it.

BTW, I have no artifacts. I guess I lucked out.

Now that I have been thinking about it, I wonder if somehow I am hurting DC when I help those that use it.

The more people that use DC, the more likely it will be targeted. I think that the help given in the help forum may have a negative effect on the longevity of DC.

You will simply have to use a different hub...one that uses a port other than the default one. Just look in the hublist. The number after the ":" is the port number.

DC++, in my opinion, is BY FAR the best client for the Direct Connect network. Also, in my opinion, the DC network is the best. They have many rare files, and the download experience is much more interactive. I use other networks, of course...but hubs just make the difference.
