I can relate to this, although I to do this only on a very moderate level. As a side note, despite the technological advances of the last years, you can meet quite a lot of collectors in private direct connect hubs these days.
- fwsgonzo 8y agoWhere do you find the hubs? And which DC client is not terribly outdated, or has a horrible reputation?
- dgellow 8y agoI found a lot of them during LAN parties.
- blastbeat 8y agoThe client which today is mostly used in private hubs is AirDC. It is optimized for efficient file transfer and comfortable file organization. For instance, AirDC lets you define different share profiles for different hubs, which is tremendous useful to satisfy different share rules for different hubs. To do so, AirDC makes heavy usage of the ADC protocol (http://adc.sourceforge.io http://adc.sourceforge.io), and they implemented nice extensions for it over the years. Recently, build a web interface. Now you can run AirDC on your server, and access it via browser from your smartphone. Otherwise, DC++ is still a legit choice. Both clients are active and maintained. There are other clients as well: ApexDC++ (modern client, but runs still on WinXP, as far as I know); ncdc (https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdc https://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdc) and eiskaltdc (https://github.com/eiskaltdcpp https://github.com/eiskaltdcpp) both run at Linux and are maintained. Concerning hubs: There are hublists, which include open hubs; but don't except quality and safety there. Most great hubs from the past went off the grid at least a decade ago. To go there, you need an invite. You also need to obey to draconic rules, like 24/7 uptime or 6 TB min high quality share.
