TheHub

Intro

This is a guide for how to get to the smashing pumpkins lossless hub. The hub has only a few rules, one of which is no mp3s. Please follow this rule as you will get a permanent ban if you do not. The other is dont share anything that is commercial, there are other places where you can do this and most of us do not partake in such things. With that said, i give you the guide for getting to the hub.

First things first, you need a program to do this. First i will present the windows tutorial, and then the linux tutorial. someone else will have to pick up the mac, beos, amiga, etc tutorial as my system is linux.

Windows

1) get dc++ or some variant. this guide will assume you are using dc++ so here is the link: www.dcplusplus.sf.net

2) install dc++

NOT COMPLETE!

Linux

well this is a bit more dificult, as the linux software up to this point really sucks (tho i have been trying to get dc++ for linux to compile, and it finally did... i will have info on that soon)

so for now use valknut!
1) get valknut. use the normal means such as apt-get valknut, urpmi valknut, emerge valknut, etc.

2) once you have valknut and it is installed, run the program and you will be presented with some options, they are blah blah blah (at work so i cant finish this as i dont have valknut here)

However, if you want to install DC++ on your Linux box there is a guide for that here

Go Active!!!

Passive users that can be active are one of the worst things, at least imho as they cannot get stuff from other passive people, thus clogging the active users slots. Passive users that can be active are one of the worst things, at least imho as they cannot get stuff from other passive people, thus clogging the active users slots. You need to open your DC ports to be active, you can do this by checking somewhere like PortForward. However, not everybody can open there ports do to a restrictive ISP, but it is suggested that you try your best to open the ports
