try to choose the file that has the most sources, try to concentrate on the file size, not the filename because if youre using a client with multiple source downloading support, it will not download anything that is less or more than ure chosen file. it will give u the found stuff on all of the hubs ure connected to(it can be a pretty long list) now u found what u need, start to download. u can choose what ure looking for, video,audio,cd image, etc. if ure connected to about 5-6 hubs with about 300Tb shared files on each ure good :) now u can start searching. u can connect to more hub at a time, but they also limit the "number of upload slots/hubs" ratio. hubs have different "minimum sharing size" limits, in other words there is a given X Gb u have to share in order to get into a hub, and each hub has its own rules and stuff. ure main windows mostly: public hubs,favorite hubs,download queue, the main hub windows(the chatroom) and ure searching windows. on the bottom u have ure little tabs for ure windows uve opened. you get on a hub and u find ureself in a big chatroom, with the nicklist on the right(very similar to an irc chatroom). the basic idea of the system is that there are servers called hubs, just like the irc network. im currently using nextDC++, it is a hungarian version, i dont know if there is and english version or not, but u can find different DC++ clients that support multiple source downloading. in DC++ you can have more sources, but its not able to use more than one at a time (i dont know if its still like that in the newer version or not, i havent used the original version since the begining and trying period) therefore, ure download speed is going to depend on the one source ure downloading from which is not a very good thing for broadband users. the only thing in DC++ is that it doesnt support multiple source downloading, in other words ure downloading the same file from more person at a time. ive used it for about a year now and i found other versions of it, kinda like scripts for mIRC, with more things included in it. it is a little more complicated than soulseek, kazaa, i had to get used to it. For the first time i did not want to use dc++ and to be honest when i tried i hated it.
