Direct Connect for Mac OS X... 2nd Post
Hi. I posted about this subject a few months ago. Direct Connect is a Peer to Peer file sharing program much like Limewire, Hotline, Caraccho and so on are. One of the differences is that DC is based on hubs and it can download two categories of downloads that aren't easily downloadable otherwise: Full length [bootleg or DVD ripped] movies and complete Playstation, Playstation2 and XboX games. The only catch is that each DC hub has a minimum amount that has to be shared. If you don't share that miminum amount then you're kicked out with a message telling you to share more. There is a version of DC for OS X in the makes but that news was posted back in mid March.

Well hello everyone. I just thought I would let the community know what is going on around here since I haven't posted for quite some time.
Â*Â*Â*Â* I've spent the last couple of months working on a new code base for Direct Connect. Initially this code will see a Mac OSX GUI, followed by GNU/Linux GUI, and finally and Windows GUI - BeOS users might be in for a surprise too. There is no release date set.
Â*Â*Â*Â* I'd also like to thank everyone for putting up the petabyte. We sure smashed right through that barrier! 1500TB Now!
Have fun -

I got the above quote from their "News" page.
I've emailed them SEVERAL times and I've just about given up. I can use it under Virtual PC, a Windows 9x/XP emulator. Well, post your thoughts. I'm not COMPLETELY discouraged but I'm getting there.
Feel free to not only reply to this post for more information but to send me an instant message or email me at [email protected] . Make the subject DC for Mac OS X so i dont delete it by mistake.
Thanks for reading this ultra long post.
PS One reason i REALLY want DC for Mac OS X is because Limewire is starting to annoy the hell outta me with its "Requery has been sent. Wait XXX about of seconds for a reply. (The XXX does not have any pornographic references. lol.) The xxx would be the number of seconds i.e. 280 seconds. Just thought I would clarify that before I get yelled at. In fact I'm just about to go onto Limewire now.

<strong>JavaDC doesnt work right for me. It runs too slow and I cant get the sharing to appear. If anyone could help me with that I would be very greatful. I have a year 2001 model iBook 600 MHz, 384 MB RAM, 12.1'' DIsplay running Mac OS X 10.1.5. Ive updated my Java settings from Apple's Software update so it should be working but its not.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Can anyone help me get JavaDC working while I wait for the Mac OS X native version?
<strong>PYR3 are you there?</strong><hr></blockquote>
Connect to animeunlimited.dns2go.com:411 . The developer's name is 'Unimaginative'. Talk to him. You'll need like 15GB of shared files to get in. I can look for his email if you don't have that. (my anime videos folder is 52GB alone)
edit: that IP is of the DC Hub that I used to host.

Nope, I'm relatively new there.. ~1 year. I just wish I could get download slots. >.< That's what you get with a popular hub though.

It's the fact that there are very few college kids with nice fat connections during the summer. I get all my fansubs through someone I know at MSU this summer.
<a href="http://www.umich.edu/~bsandrow/Anime List.html" target="_blank">Anime list</a> It's sorta out of date. I have like 10 new series that aren't on there. I'll update it tonight.
Laters...

Yeah, that's true. Next year I'll be one of those college kids. ^_^ I don't have a list of my goods. I need a lil to do that for me. I'm far too lazy to type it up.

(we are waaay off topic )
Once you actually create a list it isn't hard to keep it up. I just copy a current entry and change the data.
