Understand Direct Connect Hubs

A Direct Connect hub is the public meeting point that DC++ clients use to find users, chat, and share files. Public DC Hublist keeps each hub separate from the hub owner account and presents every hub profile as a readable DC++ hublist entry.

Use this guide page to understand hub addresses, supported protocols, online status, user counts, share size, reliability, and historical hub activity. Open an individual hub profile when you need connection addresses, DC hublist metadata, or long-term hub statistics.
