Instruction: Open your DC. Open Settings. In tab Downloads, locate Public Hubs list URL, and replace the string with 1 of the following URLs without the > < !!! These are just made to ensure you don't get any whitespaces in the line.
Now, OK the Settings, open a new Public Hubs list window (YES that means close any open ones first!) and press Refresh.
If it doesn't work the first time, no sweat - try Refreshing few times more. And remember, you can always check that it works in Internet Explorer - .bz2 files should offer to be saved/opened while the rest should open as text files.
If it still doesn't work. try another list.
Another way to locate hubs are using the also-mentioned search engines for hubs, and adding those manually.
