Hi, thanks for enquiring about the Comics Hubs.

DC++ is the place to find the CMC, and much more. The hubs are a network of personal computers linked by the main hub server.

The system works by users making their files available to everyone else, so be prepared to share with others, always share what you download and expect others to be downloading from you. And try and download from many users, not the same one all the time

Apex DC++ (Windows) or Jucy (Mac OS X) are two of the clients you will need to access DC++, but there are others. If you do a search for DC++ lots more information will come up.

http://jucy.eu/

Once you have downloaded your DC++ client you need to create a Shared folder, these will be the files that you are sharing with other users of Perfection, the comics hub. When you log on and register you will be able to see what size your shared folder should be.

To access Perfection enter the following address in the client

perfection.comichub.org:777

In addition to the address you also need to select a user-name and password.

Once you have registered at Perfection have a look for user-name PeteThePIPster, right-click on the user name to get File List

You will need to be in active mode to access the Complete Marvel Chronology. See below for full details on active and passive modes.

To download any comics from any users right-click on the file-list and chose the 'Get File List' option.

When the file-list has been downloaded you will see a new window showing the folders that user has made available. As you view the files you can select one, or more, and right-click to select the download option. The download will begin.

Good luck

Pete

Q: How do I set up port forwarding?
Passive mode is bad
Passive mode puts a strain on the hub, and causes lagging.
Passive mode means you can ONLY download from active users, this means you are not getting the full benefit of DC++
If you do not have a static IP address then every time you disconnect from the net, and then connect again your IP no. Will Change
You then need to put this new IP no. In your DC++ client.
