What Is A Hublist?
A hublist is a public directory of Direct Connect hubs. DC++ and other Direct Connect clients download hublist files so users can discover hubs without manually collecting addresses from forums, chats, or old bookmarks.
The word appears both as hublist and hub list. In Polish and some multilingual communities you may also see hublista. All of these usually mean a searchable or downloadable list of public DC hubs.
Public DC Hub List For DC++
Public DC Hublist focuses on active DC++, NMDC, NMDCS, ADC, and ADCS hubs. The hourly pinger checks hub availability, users, share size, country, protocol, software, status, and reliability so the public search and generated files stay useful.
For a user path through the site, search currently online Direct Connect hubs, choose a DC++ client that supports hublist downloads, or submit a public hub to be included in generated hublist files. For deeper background, read the Direct Connect hublist formats guide.
- Search the live DC++ hublist for active Direct Connect hubs.
- Read the public hublist providers and formats guide.
- Submit your DC hub for indexing.
- Download the global hublist.xml.bz2 file.
- Download the ADC-only hublist file.
Hublist Formats And Protocols
Classic clients commonly use hublist.xml.bz2. Operators and tools may also use XML, JSON, config, compressed BZ2 variants, ADC-only lists, and country-specific files. NMDC and NMDCS describe classic Direct Connect hubs, while ADC and ADCS describe the newer ADC protocol family.
The download table shows each list code, hub count, user count, share size, download count, file type, and generated URL so visitors can choose the smallest and most appropriate file for their client or script.
Why Use This Hublist?
Use this hublist when you want one place to search public hubs, compare activity, open hub profiles, review reliability, and copy the exact address your client needs. Hub owners can also use the site to make sure their public listing is reachable and correctly represented.
