um, if you use AiM [america-online instant messaging] and direct connect is a feature of AiM where you establish a direct connection with the other user you are chatting to. Direct connect is tricky if either of you has a firewall though. If you establish a D/C then you can send each other files (ie. anime avi's) at decent speeds (depends on your conn.) You can get AiM here : http://www.aim.com/

Another example of a direct connection would be if you logged on to Mirc (which is a chat/fileshare prog.) and if you go to one of the channels and don't upset the mods you can d/l from there by typig a "cue" command to get a list of files (usually !list) that you can d/l from, and they will give you a list of commands called "triggers" that tell the channel server to send you the file. I usually get files from here at 100 + kb/s

You can get Mirc here : http://www.mirc.com/ there are also a few faqs there, you should read them if you plan to go on cuz mods are pretty tempermental with people new to the system 0,o anyway, hope I helped if you have any questions just post or e-mail me bye ^,-

This is probably a bit late reply but.... Direct connect is a file sharing p2p program, go here to get it. http://www.neo-modus.com/ On this program, sorta like mirc, you have to enter a chatroom to download anything and mostly you have to share something usually around/approx. 20 gigs. Can read the getting started guide has more info.
