We notice you to check your share against files that violate your country's copyright law.

Mandatory settings

  • selecting the correct internet connection type (if applicable)
  • indicating your bandwidth in your client's Description field
  • Rocc0's Hub is a lan hub, so we ask you to have [NeT] prefix in your nick if your are connecteing from internet
  • setting up the proper number of upload slots ( minimum is 6 )

Slot rules

The point of these rules is that the slot requirements are based on the upload speed of your connection. This ensures at least 3-4 KiB/sec speed for a single slot. We tried to develop our rules so that you won't have to open too few or too many slots (there won't be any free slots/the download speed would be too slow ).

You should set up your upload slots based on the following table:

Bandwidth
 Slot
 Hub
 Limit*
up to xx/96 kbps 2-3 slots max. 2 hubs -
up to xx/128 kbps 3 slots max. 3 hubs min. 12 KiB/s
up to xx/160 kbps 3-4 slots max. 3 hubs min. 12 KiB/s
up to xx/192 kbps 4 slots max. 4 hubs min. 15 KiB/s
up to xx/256 kbps 4 slots max. 4 hubs min. 20 KiB/s
up to xx/384 kbps 4-5 slots max. 5 hubs min. 29 KiB/s
up to xx/512 kbps 5-6 slots max. 6 hubs min. 38 KiB/s
up to xx/768 kbps 6-8 slots max. 6 hubs min. 58 KiB/s
up to xx/1 mpbs 6-8 slots max. 7 hubs min. 77 KiB/s
up to xx/2 mbps 8-10 slots max. 7 hubs min. 154 KiB/s
up to xx/4 mbps 11-20 slots max. 8 hubs -
up to xx/10 mbps 18-35 slots max. 10 hubs -
over xx/10 mbps 31-50 slots max. 13 hubs -

* You can set up any upload limit only by using a proper Direct Connect client with limiting functions (like BCDC++, StrongDC++ Lite, Valknut)

Measuring and indicating bandwidth

If you don't know your bandwidth, you can check your ISP's webpage or your contract. But since a lot of ISPs were raised the bandwidth in the past, it may worth to use a website to measure your bandwidth. It's important to quit any application that may use your internet-connection before measuring. You can do that on the following page:

Clients you can use for connecting

You can use every kind of Direct Connect client which is able to TTH hash files and doesn't violate GNU GPL. The minimum client version is ODC 5.3.1,DC++ 0.4032 or equivalent. If you're using other kind of client, we disallow using the DC++ emulation feature, use the client's own TAG.
Odc: http://www.e.kth.se/~opera/odc/5.31/odc-5.31.exe
DC++: http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net

Download rules

You are not required to set up any share to enter the hub, but you won't be able to download until you share at least 10 GiB. You can still use the search and chat functions without any limitation even if you don't have enough share.

Share rules

You and you alone bear responsibility for the full content of your share.
  • Do not share any content that violates your country's copyright laws.
  • Do not share fake files and folders.
  • Do not share useless files (.tmp, Recycle Bin, etc.).
  • Do not share incomplete files (Bittorrent, GetRight, FlashGet, DC, eDonkey, etc.).
  • Do not share broken or virus infected files.
  • Do not share modified DC Clients or any other applications which allows users to block uploaders, let anyone to fake share or any settings, or cheat with any other way.
  • Do not share applications which violates GNU GPL.
  • Do not share rape, preteen-underage, pedophile, animal, incest porn.
  • Do not share racist, fascist, white-power or any other extremist content, including music with language identically used by extremist movements.
  • Do not share necrophilia, faces of death content.
  • If you want to share a whole DVD, do it as an image file.
  • Your directories should be organized in a clear intuitive way. File and folder names should always refer to real content.
  • We recommend to indicate the quality and language of movie files in their names.
  • Always check your shared content. Do not share non-working useless trash.
  • In any doubt regarding eligibility to share, seek assistance from an OP.

Staying on the hub

  • Read the MOTD (welcome-message) when entering the hub, do not close mass-messages without reading. We don't send advertisements as a mass-message and always have a good reason to take the time and type in those all-hub announcements, please take the time to read our message.
  • Do not flood the chat in any way (like repeated copy-pastes, texts that contain more than 10 lines and ASCII-arts).
  • If you wish to place any advertisement, look for an OP. We will ban you for any non-authorized ads. Only non-profit ads will be allowed.
  • Always do what an OP asks. We always have good reason to ask if we do.
  • Prior asking an OP, read the Frequently Asked Questions or try to ask on main chat (some smart way).
  • Never beg and whine for OP-right, we will seek and promote you if you prove yourself to be worthy.
  • Never disconnect any uploads unless an Operator or the user ask you to do so. Disconnecting uploads is the biggest sin on DC. No explanation qualify.
  • No return can be asked or condition can be set for uploads.
  • Enter "/refresh" to main chat or press Ctrl+E whenever you alter/add/remove any files in your share. No files under upload can be removed, renamed or moved
  • Try to stay in the hub while other people are uploading from you. If you have to turn off your computer, send a private message to the users uploading from you and tell them when your computer will be online again.
  • Appreciate the others, do not leech. DC is about getting for giving, do not be selfish.
  • No politics on main chat.
  • Do not abuse users (e.g. ones with feminine nicks) with sexual-related posts, both on main and in private chat.
  • Our chat is not a dating service. do not deprave it with such posts.
  • Do not post blond-jokes, minority-jokes, these aim to sustain the misconception of the members of these groups being inferior -with which we do not agree in any way.
  • Do not overuse caps lock, exclamation mark or question mark, it makes you look really stupid.
  • Try not to use chat slang. In the aim of preserving the chat quality, we may kick for overusing of slang.

Registration

  • On Rocc0's Hub, any user can ask for registration. To do so, seek for an active Operator who will reg you.
  • It's important to know that the rules of the hub are applied to registered users too, so you will still need at least 10 GiB share to be able to download and the other rules will be still applied to you.
  • The Operators of the hub may remove registrations which are not used for more than six months.
  • We expect fair play from our registered users too, so disrupting the community or any other intentional and serious misdemeanor can make us ban you and delete your registration.
