DC
,link to bw info
'''DC++''' is an open-source file-sharing protocol mainly differentiated from other protocols by the fact that users share ''complete'' files and download the entire file from a single user by means of a direct connection. Some clients actually defy this and allow you to download the same file from multiple users, but they are in the minority. For a more complete overview of the protocol itself, see the [[w:DC plus plus|wikipedia article]] on the subject.
There are multiple DC++ hubs around the world. The Cal hub is special because all the users are on the Berkeley network, and as a result, the data transferred does ''not'' count against a [http://calwiki.byethost24.com/Bandwidth user's weekly bandwidth allowance].
