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

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    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
