I don't have any real original, hard to find material, just things anyone could have downloaded from LiTS or various ftp sites and the 2 CDs of mp3s from Scarred Records but .... I would be willing to share any of it or host someone else's content to be part of the DC'jam and get access to other content. I am on roadrunner ... anyone know if I have a max upload/download quota? I have never run into it with Napster, Kazaa, AudioGalaxy etc but I am not a power user in terms of quantities of downloads.

We benefit because we'll be able to choose from more places to download rather than having it available from only a single ftp site which quickly becomes overloaded. The whole point of the hub is to spread the load across multiple machines so having everyone share the same files is OK. Plus, using a password should reduce the number of leaches who just hop on, suck files, then hop off.

I have a very good connection, so I'm going to investigate it and get back to you guys if its a success. My goal is to share more than just DT stuff, though that will obviously be a start. Give me a few days to explore the system, and I'll get back to you.

I don't think it matters what speed the hub is connected at, just that it is running. Download speeds depend on the connection of the person you are downloading from. The one problem that I had with my hub was that I couldn't keep it running all the time.

Klindt" To: Subject: RE: Ytsejam Direct Connect Hub Message-ID: <02a901c2855a$856cb500$message_id_removed> There are two types of leaches. First, there are those that come in without any content to share. But like you said, once they download it, then they add to the pool of places for the rest of us to draw from, that's good. There is another type of leach, those that just take, but are unwilling to give back. I've watched people download things from me, then disconnect, never to be seen again. A lot of people fire up P2P clients just long enough to download what they are looking for, then they shut it down. Those types of people are of no use to us, and I think you'll find there will be quite a few people like that. Having someone max out your uploads does effect your downloads. With all that said, I still think it's a good idea. tk -----Original Message----- From: ytsejam@torchsong.com [mailto:ytsejam@torchsong.com] On Behalf Of Steve Chew Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 8:16 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Ytsejam Direct Connect Hub While it's no fun to have leaches, the cool thing about the Ytsejam DC hub would be that even if most people shared only those files which they found on the Ytsejam DC hub, we still benefit.

It has a bonus track "Masquerade" which is from the first Symphony X CD, with Russell Allen on vocals. Much stronger version. Also, the booklet inside the CD is much more detailed with extras. Trust me, it's well worth the extra dollar. Visit http://www.metalages.com to order the limited edition at a much reduced price.

That is granted with running a server. Still, that is getting material out to the audience. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Perkowsky [mailto:email_address_removed Hey everyone, --- "Todd O.

I ran my own DC server for a while, but became discouraged because everyone was taking, but nobody was sharing anything other than what they downloaded from me.
