Searching for a file

To search for a file in DC++, you can:

a) Click on the icon indicated by the red circle and input your search,

b) OR you can just type your search in the box on the top right corner of the window.

In any case where your search did not return any results, please:

1) Check that your antivirus and firewall is not blocking your DC++ client. If you do not know whether your antivirus has a firewall or not, please go here.

If #1 did not solve your problem,

2) Try the steps shown in 'Setting up your connection' tutorial.



P/s: If the problem still persists, please contact any Operators online, but make sure you DID what is stated here before asking for help.

Installing Strong DC++ client

To install Strong DC++ client:

1) Determine your Windows is either 32-bit or 64-bit.

For Windows XP: You are most probably running a 32-bit OS.

For Windows Vista: Go to Computer > System Properties > System > System Type.

For Windows 7: Similar to steps for Windows Vista.



2) Download the newest version of client in either 32-bit or 64-bit according to your system type.

3) Install the client and obtain the hub IP for any active hub. Follow the following tutorials to complete your installation.


P/s: A 32-bit DC++ client works fine with Windows running 64-bit and will be installed in Program Files(×86); however, 64-bit DC++ client cannot be installed on a 32-bit Windows.

Setting up your connection

For those who are having difficulties in getting file list and keep seeing the message 'connection timed out', here is a solution that might work on you:

1)
Type "!myip" in the main chat, and then the system will respond you with your current IP,
for example:
- <+=Hearts=+> *** Your current IP is: 10.1.51.135




2)
Copy the IP and go to your DC++ toolbar.
Select File -> Settings -> Connection Settings and then select "Direct Connection".
Paste the IP you copied just now into the box "External / WAN IP".
Click OK.



Now, half of the problem should be solved already...
If you still can't get some file list, it does not mean that it is your problem. It might be the person's setting problem, so no worries.

P/s.: Please note that if your current setting was rejected by the hub with error message like "Your IP is incorrect", please re-do the steps above.

How to share my files?

At your DC++ toolbar,
Select File -> Settings -> Sharing.


Then tick the folder that you wish to share.
After you tick on the folder, DC++ will start processing and hashing your selection, so please be patient here.


When done, click OK and reconnect to the hub. Now your things are available to be downloaded by others!


P/s:Please confirm that the folders you share do not contain anything that you DON'T WISH OTHERS TO DOWNLOAD. Everything in the same folder will be shared out and available to be downloaded.

If any of your private belongings were shared out, the hub owners and operators are not responsible for that. Thanks =D

How to register as a registered user?

In Dazzl!G-AcE hub and KinGDoMHeartS hub,
type !regme, followed by your desired password, and then press enter.

For example:
!regme 123456



And then go to your Favorite Hubs setting (which is represented as a yellow star in the toolbar).

Right click on the hub you registered, select Properties. Within the password column, fill in the password you registered.


Click OK.

By doing this, you don't have to enter your password every time you connect to the hub. Your password will be sent automatically.

Reconnect to the hub, and you're done!

P/s : Please note that once you registered a nickname, it will be your username. If you wish to change a nickname, you have to register again, or request help from the hub owner.
