Description: DC (Direct Connect P2P network) hub clone
12
Open DC hub is a Unix/Linux version of the hub software for the Direct
13
Connect network. Direct Connect is a file sharing network made up by
14
hubs, to which clients can connect. It offers offers peer-based file-sharing.
15
In practise it works better than gnutella and other similar systems as it
16
allows dc hubs (servers) administators to require clients to share specified
17
amount of data. The amount is usually based on type of client's connection
18
and it is used not to hurt or exclude anybody but to make file sharing
21
This version supports most of the features of the official hub. Some of the
22
currently supported features are:
23
* Searching for files,
24
* Connecting to users, both in active and passive mode,
25
* Messaging in open chat,
28
* Kicking users (for OP:s),
29
* Banning users (for Admins),
30
* Uploading hub address and description to public hub list,
31
* Hublinking, which makes it possible to search on other hubs connnected to
34
The hub is run as a daemon, i.e, it runs in the background. It's
35
administrated through a tcp connection, for example with telnet, which
36
makes it possible to administer remotely, given that the user has the
37
administration password.
