MAC USERS: how to get on the hub.

[some_dumb_cop]

Apparently alot of mac users can no longer access the hub. I had this problem as well, my DC stopped allowing me to connect to it. What you need to do is get a program called DCGUI.. i don't know all the technical mumbo jumbo i just know it has something to do with quicktime mimicking something or rather, HA, like i said i dont know how it works, it just works. (the program is balls but hey, it does the trick)

i believe this is a link to it. hope y'all can get back on there. peace.

Thanks yo. I'm a Mac user too.

[DeeJayZap]

Yeah, I used to use NeoModus Direct Connect but now I use DCGUI :P

[Brother McDuff]

Does that program assist DC++ in conecting to the hub or replace it altogether? What I mean is, can I just throw out DC++ after I get this new one, or do they work together?

[Documad]

Yes, pretend I'm a complete moran. Do I trash the other thing we downloaded per the other long thread?

[some_dumb_cop]

this works by itself, i dont have panther so i can't run a DC++ client in a simple way, there is a tutorial on how to get dc++ to work in the early versions of OSX but i dont really see a point..

Thank you, some_dumb_cop.

I'm sorry, I'm sure I'm a complete moron... but what so I do when I'm on the link ? I can't seem to find the download thingy...
Thanks a lot !!

This is good information. I'm moving it to the FPA just to make sure this doesn't go anywhere.

[BGirl]

Am I missing something, or does this installation involve UNIX, X11 and compiling stuff..?

(Even if it does, thanks so much for the help & solution! I just may not get to it for a while if it's involved.)

p.s. I'm running Panther (and will probably install Tiger as soon as it comes out. )

Hi guys sorry i just found out about this mac problem last night. I changed from Ptotax Hub software to Yhub a few weeks ago because ptotax was using too much system resources and slowing downl my computer. There must be some sort of a problem with it. i will see if i can do anything else for you.

[liberty_a320]

Thanks, JtCann!

In the meantime, I got DCGUI here. Installation is more straightforward; just click "download now" link. It'll create a disk image and you just drag the DCGUI icon into your Applications folder.

[BGirl]

Thanks liberty_a320, JtCann, some_dumb_cop and all who make the sharing possible.

Thanks Liberty a320 and jtcann

I've been able to connect and see the user list but when I try to browse user files I get a "send error" in the status column in the transfer window. I'm sure it's some setting that I'm not getting right....any ideas?

thanks

[yankeefan21]

i can get on dcgui but then cant connect to anyone...well i double click but i dont see any of their files come up...help

[Documad]

Someday I have to make friends with an IBM compatible person and go over to that person's house and find out what this hub thing is. I feel that it is just made up by some of you cruel people to vex me. Like there's this really awesome club I can't get into.

i cant use direct connect cuz of that cant recognize tags thing.

[Fake Mike]

So whats up with the Hub..? I tried to jump on...months back...and was denied....I gave up and trashed my DC....Does that other shit work? if so is my user name and password still the same?

[JtCann]

Yo Mac People! Can you guys get on the hub ok? The software has changed so try again just to make sure and let me know. Thanks

[JtCann]

I changed it on my side to newer and better server software So I want to find out if DCGUI works now or what. I havent gotten any complaints or heard anything actually so let me know if you can.

[JtCann]

have you tried this client?

http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/984992057/2

i dont know how good it is or isnt. Also maybe when you connect try and contact me. Maybe I can change some settings on my side to make it work.

[coupedeville]

I PM'ed you Gere, but if you read this instead, that's cool.

I just tried to get on there via DC, but those two links supplied
in this current thread may be better, I don't know. I'll try them next.

I got :

<BeastieÂ*Bot> YnHub version: 1.01 produced by Yoshi and Nev.
<-CORE-> Current user count: 19 after 1:12:41:39 uptime
<-CORE-> The topic is: Sharing Is Caring!
<-CORE-> Current sharesize is: 371.08 GiB
<BeastieÂ*Bot> Your client didn't supply a description tag, currently this isn't allowed

Which is the second response, the first one I PM'ed you.

This is the program you mentioned on 1-24.

As I'm typing this reply, I found out this link is bad:

http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_detail.php?id_item=210

The other one is also no good.

I'm just trying to do my homework, is all. Thanks

[Blue Nun]

I'm another Mac user and same error for me.

I used to be able to get on the hub with DC, but I haven't had time to go on in quite a while.

Thanks for the hub and all your work maintaining it though! When I can get on there it kicks ass and is a great resource for all us Beastie freaks.

[JtCann]

Try now guys. Hopefully the setting i changed worked. Post here with results. Thanks

[Blue Nun]

<Beastie�*Bot> Your client didn't supply a description tag, currently this isn't allowed

Thanks for trying though.

[JtCann]

Alright I'll keep working on it. I made a post in the hub servers message board hopefully someone there will know what to do. If you want to keep an eye on it here is the link. YnHub Message Board I'm sorry to everyone who has been trying to get on. Hope to get you back soon!

[Blue Nun]

Thanks for all the effort, Jt.
