Direct Connect is just another P2P program. It might have what you're looking for, there's a lot of hubs to choose from.

Direct connect is not firewall friendly. but otherwise its a great program.

You join user created Hubs. and if you dont meet the minimum requirements to be on the Hub (GB files shared) then you get booted.

So people are FORCED to share or get their leaching ass booted off. its a great system.

And the key to getting fast downloads on eMule or eDonkey is to have a high upload. that network works on a systems that rewards people for uploading.

The faster you upload the higher you are placed in Que. and the faster download rate you will get.

I get about 10-15Kbs most of the time. sometimes i drop down to 5-10kbs....once in a while ill get close to 100kbs

Never had a problem with DC and my firewall.

It's all about the configuration, baby. ;)

DC tells you if your behind a firewall you will only be able to search for files on your hub, if your not behind a firewall you can search all hubs.

So you may not realize how much more you could be getting
