  1. Review - Direct Connect for Windows

    1.0 Preview Build 9 (Jun 7, 2003)

    well, being a user of this program for quite some time now it is probably the best out on the net, and heres why

    when it comes to the neo modus program, it is like irc, except its noobie friendly. it may be a shock to kazaa type users, but in the end its very easy to learn compared to other direct connect clients out there

    most common problem: "i cant find anything" this happens because either they are looking for something really old or looking in the wrong hub
    ie. search "anime" in an mp3 hub

    as for other types of direct connnect software such as dc++:
    dc++ is good for the user, but is really abusive and detrimental to the entire direct connect community.When you are trying to download a file from a 1.5 mbps dsl connection along with 8 other ppl, your download speed will be slow. also, i have used this program for over a year and i have found it to have a infinitessimal advantage over the neomodus version that i have decided to switch back.

    the bottom line: Quality connections over quantity

    another point i would like to make is the connection ratings of users on the neo modus version, it actually shows users that have exceeded 100KB/s in upload speeds to a single user
