Hi,
is it possible/hard to modify dc++ so it can use a channel in the irc (quakenet?) as a hub? Everyone in our Intranet fears to be responsible for an hub, so this, i think would be a nice solution.

Using IRC as a hub?

Yes to some extent. But it do require some work to function correctly. The protocols are different. You can high-jack the irc-protocol in an CTCP-manner. I think sandos wrote a small script for it in the past with some basic functionality.
Everyone is supposed to download from the hubs, - I don´t know why, but I never do anymore.

Thats right, it's available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=47459, but it was very buggy. Chatting, Searching and transfers all worked at least once though ;)ivulfusbar wrote:Yes to some extent. But it do require some work to function correctly. The protocols are different.

Any IRC network would mind the traffic from a hidden hub being run though.

only obfusticatious with it would be ISPs disallowing the running of a DC-hub but not an IRC-server. But it will only be a temporary solution. And if it was an issue, a tunneled hub would work better than that. ;))
