I wouldn't mind giving Direct Connect a go, but for the requirement to share huge numbers of files - this is kind've asking for trouble from certain organisations, is it not? Let me know what you think, as it'd be a shame not to try it at least.
This is not a quote.

Um, newbies and people who are not informed use P2P. In BitTorrent there is almost a 98% chance you will get what you are looking for and you also have a 95% or higher to not get porn or viruses. Also, you can upload and download at the same speed so after about 10 min, BitTorrent speeds have reached up to 200k for me [minimum ] on heavily seeded files.

sigh..if only DC++ has good speed i'd use it more often...
there are just some files, tho not a lot, but some, like old tv shows, mp3s..that ppl dont post on torrent sites. i see them in DC++ all the time..but the speed just sucks so much if i dont leave my computer on 24/7 for a week i'll never get what i want.

always around 30kbps?
are you behind a router? if you are, there are certain ports to open for torrent to go at max speed
same thing applies for firewall, you need to tweak it.

nah, I just figured out I was d/lin several files at the same time, it usually doesn't slow me down on kazzalite, but apparently on torrent it does =/.

kazaalite is so much worse than bittorrent in that it's extremely hard to find things you want, like specific tv shows and movies.

also, it's especially good for college students with unlimited bandwidth, as you can upload/dl as much as you want.

DC++ needs some strategy to use efficiently...

When you have done a search for a file and found it, start dowloading from a user that has the best connection T3>T2>T1>DSL>CABLE.
Also look at how much upload slots he has open. If all of he's slots are open then its good coz you will be the only one dowloading from him. Then search more of the same file and add alternatives to the dowload. That way if the first user goes offline it will start dowloading from the next one in line.
