Are we allowed to run DC++ HUB on WINDOWS server???

Doesn't fall under IRC does it? No illegal traffic going through is there?

It is not like IRC

is more like chat people sharing their files.


you can find more about software we are going to use it is YHUB, more information at:

www.dcdev.net/yhub

I have ran DC hubs off and on while here and never was told it was taboo. It's an entirely different protocol than IRC so I am pretty sure its not against the rules.

sounds good than

I tried it on my PC before, not as a hub, but just to see if it was like a Kazaa. It is really like IRC, and last I checked, file sharing is illegal when copyrights mp3s, and videos are shared.

File sharing and file sharing technology is legal but the transfer of copyrighted materials and medias without explicit permission from the copyright owners would not be legal. Make sure that what you are hosting and allow to be hosted is above board.

DC Hubs don't actually handle any transfers. They only provider a list of connected users, manage the chat room, and perform passive searches (Active searches are done user to user).. No actual file transfering data occurs through the hub.
