Hi, everyone, welcome back to the Fall 2007 semester. This post is a follow up to my previous post on instructions about how to get DC++ working at Stony Brook University. DC++ is a very fast and reliable file sharing client. But please do keep things legal. I do not endorse using DC++ for illegal purposes.
Please following the previous tutorial located here. The reason I wrote a part 2 to this tutorial is because after going though the tutorial, some people are getting this error.
<CroBot> This hub is running version 0.3.36 of the Shadows DirectConnect Hub Software.
That error can mean two things:
- You are not sharing enough data, you need to share 2GB’s or more. Hash them.
- You have too few upload slots available. Go to settings and sharing and make 5 upload slots.
Doing these two things will allow you to connect to DC++ successfully!
Remember, our hub name is sbushare.no-ip.info. Use DC++ Legally!

Just get a wireless router and you can get on to limewire

really limewire? what about bittorrent?

Stony Brook definitely blocked the BitTorrent port. I don’t know about accessing it through a router maybe with Port Forwarding.

I’m sharing over 2GB worth of files and I increased my upload slots to 5 and still getting that error. Any ideas?

You have the host address correct?

How do you Hash 2 GB of space.
October 3rd, 2007 at 12:48 am
By that, I mean share at least 2GB’s or more!

Yea and I followed all the steps too. I also just added an additional gig of files just to be safe, but I’m still seeing the error.

Is there a version for Macs? I can’t run .exe files
June 7th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Yes there is, it’s called Shakespeare. That is the DC++ client for MACs.

You totaly forgot the main one here:
DC++ Search Engine wich searches more than 1000 DC++ hubs.
home.deds.nl/~dcsearch/
100% Assembly Language program, size only 46Kb!
I use it a lot!

Hey, i have a question.
I set up the wolfienet and after that i could not use DC++
I am not using wireless but the sever doesn’t work
Do you know what happened?

You need to be hard wired onto the network for DC to work.
