Is there anybody here in Übernet (the DC++ hub)? If so, could you please PM me? Thanks.

Is that a meshnet?

Edit:
nvm. I know what it is. My brain didn't make the right connections quickly enough :^D

Curious. What is it?

A file sharing network...

Interesting. Sort of like usenet.

No it's more like IRC when you send a xdcc or dcc command to a bot.

I haven't used DC++ since I lived in a college dorm.

P2P downloading in 2014 is a joke.

How is DC++ these days? I've almost completely dropped off the p2p scene, except for the occasional torrents.

 

[EvilYoda]

Ah, I remember those days. I gotta wonder why people still bother with those networks in this day and age? What's the benefit?

Didn't know that was still around. Used it in the dorms in 2003, haven't used it since.

Hey, let's check out Howard Dean's Friendster!

Wow I forgot about DC++! It was a neat network, but lot of the hubs required to have a few 100 GB worth of files to share, which was crazy in the early 2000's, so I could never join any of the good hubs since I only had like a 40GB drive lawls. Never used it that much.

Anyone remember WinMX? It worked sorta similarly. I was actually running a "hub" for a while.

With the centralized nature of torrents and the US government being all over that and shutting down lot of torrent sites, I wonder why real p2p is not still a thing. Kazaa was the best in it's days as it was truely decentralized. Same with edonkey and other similar programs that used protocols like the Gnutela network. It's a shame these protocols arn't in use anymore.

Holy cow I didn't realize it was even still around? I remember using it and kazaa back in the day.

ÜberNet is not just another DC++ hub...

:hmm:


Are you fishing for new members?

Mmmmk. That totally made me want to join.

You'd switch back to ÜberNet if you knew the quantity and quality of what there is inside

No torrent site I've ever known can compete with it.

LOL!! Good times!!! I remember that! But Uber is dead because of people without standard!... I think I quit in 2005 but I still have some good stuff from there... It would be great if still alive! :ninja:
