Dc++ is a file sharing software which is used to access contents shared
over the LAN (like previous year's placement papers, ebooks and softwares)
A DC Hub is a central server which maintains a central (indexed) list of
"distributed" contents on the LAN for easy search. Therefore, one needs to
connect to [at least one] hub to perform the search. Following are two
main hubs [which are currently active], (the list of active hubs is
usually available on NG) and by the navya hublist.xml mentioned in earlier
mail.
1. 172.24.32.74:1209
2. 172.24.48.136:411
Another similar and popular mechanism for sharing is Torrents. Register at
torrentcore.junta.iitk.ac.in to search and download torrents which can be
used with uTorrent/BitTorrent. [Personally, I have not used Torrents a lot
so I won't be able to put more light on the same]

ReplyDeleteI doubt if anyone apart from EE students use Brihaspati and infact, EE students also use the same rarely. That is why, I decided not to write about it

ReplyDeletewat does that mean?
I have been downloading torrents from the torrents site, but it's producing some wierd messages like you are not authorised to download. Please check this out. And also many people are using torrents, so upload as many torrents as possible. Thank you
ReplyDeleteSorry, as I mentioned in the post I am not a regular user of IITK torrents. So, I am unable to help you out on this.
ReplyDeleteIt says you are not authorised to download stuffs. Kindly let me know why it says so and the solution to the above problem.

ReplyDeleteHi, I know you are far from campus life, but by any chance do you know whether a hub-pinger can be coded, which will ping all possible IP address of our campus, and list only the working one's ?
