| 68298 | 2002-08-05 08:56:00 | I hooked up to dc.p2p.net.nz a few weeks ago. Initially managed to get a few mp3 files, but now seem to have hit a brick wall. Seems like everyone has their slots closed, but not adverse to meerily sucking in as many downloads as they can themselves....... Has anyone else become disallusional - or is it just my luck? Or am I doing something wrong with my preferences |

| 68300 | 2002-08-05 09:15:00 | the system has bugs... i have presently got a linux box up, and am running my "98 machine from behind it. NO-one has managed to get anything more substantial than my file list off me, and i am sharing heaps... at least um that is, i would like to be sharing heaps......... am sorting this, but it would appear that the system has been clogging up a bit of resent |

| 68302 | 2002-08-05 09:30:00 | If you are in passive mode (check your settings->connection settings) you won't be able to connect to other people on passive. The best way around this is to be active, although this requires a little more effort - I use a dynamic ip from no-ip.org, and forwarded a port from my dsl modem especially (this won't be an issue if you're on dial-up). Once you're active the only thing restraining getting files is the people sharing them. | axio (1355) | ||
| 68303 | 2002-08-05 09:33:00 | I'm sure there are some people that have far too little slots open. A handy hint: once you do get connected to someone have a look and find what else they have got that's worth having. I find that [OCNZ]BinkyStuntCat is really good. Same with pugwashthegod[cable] <--- who would that be ;) There used to bea different hub, dcnz.no-ip.org but sadly it got shut down by Xtra because it was being hosted on a jetstart connection. At this time DCNZ and dc.p2p.net.nz merged and are with Orcon. The DCNZ was really good with their being a minimum amount of slots that you had to share. |

| 68304 | 2002-08-05 09:39:00 | Axio, Heres my set up '98 box-------suse box-----cable modem (fixed IP) i'm just getting my head aroung this linux thing... it a BIG learning curve rather than configure it so it will work on vanessa via sam the suse-box, would it not be easyer to put a linux version of DC++ on sam, the idea of this set up is so that sam/suse box is the 24/7server to the web, and vanessa/'98se box gets to do as little a possible. |
