ok... HOW TO USE DC (sorry so long) -bring up dc -go to settings >> file transfers -set your settings and share, all hubs you need to share something with at least 2 slots open -if you have firewall go to connection and select passive mode if you don't forget this part -hit OK and yes -in the connect window, enlarge it, (if you don't have a connect window hit "connect" on top) and hit public, this brings up all hubs -hit hub name, this will set it in alphabetic order. -scroll down to anime, this will get you to the anime hubs -connect to something that you have the minimum requirements -once in a room search for what you want - search window -my advice after searching is to hit the "slots" tab to bring up who has an open slot. if someone has what your looking for and a slot - double click to download - sit back and relax - if there are no open slots then hit the file name to put it back in order - look for what you are looking for and try to get it from someone with a decent connection - but important to have patience b/c queue's can be a pain.

how come when i try to search nothing shows up

Well... It could be 1 of 2 things that I can think of. Either you are behind a firewall, and you must use passive mode like I said above to search and download from others. Try that first. Also the new zonealarm, if that's your firewall, has a new feature where programs cannot connect out - which will block your searches & uploads. To fix that go to in za >> program control >> main tab >> and there's a program control and automatic control, turn off the program control. It will ask you if you're sure, say yes, because it's blocking outbound traffic which you need. If it's not that, it could be that no one is sharing what you're looking for? Try searching for something someone always has on there, a popular mainstream anime - I'm sure you know a few titles. If that is it - try asking politely if someone has it and is willing to share or know where to get it, because there are some nice people on there. If it's not 1 of those 2; I don't know?

1. prepare ur share files in some folders ( im sharing 68 gigs only rite now)===> make sure share only mp3,movies, image games etc (better not share porn especially preteen/rape/other sick stuffs or u'll get ban for sure n dont share ur windows system files if u dumb enough coz no one need that) 2. click on ur DC prog.===> go to settings fill up those things , go to file transfer , specify ur share folders (add up) , make sure uploads slot min 3 then click Ok . 3. click on public ===> hopefully u get those lists (if not maybe ur behind firewall or sth ) 4. connect to hub that that has min share file fit with ur share files. eq: if u have only 8 gigs share files , then connect to hub that req min share max 8 gigs otherwise u cant connect/ being kick after connecting. 5. see the rules. 6.start searching ..good luck

well its hard at 1st, but once ur in rite track ...then ur in heaven. :)
