What's the best place to download new shows?

Hi everyone.

I used to be able to download shows from loveline.rediretme.net, via
the Direct Connect program. However I can't seem to connect to that
hub anymore. Has the server changed? Are there any other places
to download shows? Especially shows from 2000 through 2003.

Thanks!

The hub is up and running fine, I am not sure why you can't connect, but here is the advice I usually give:

the address "loveline.redirectme.net" should be redirecting you to the IP address for the hub. Make sure that when you are setting up the hub as a favorite that "loveline.redirectme.net" is the only thing written in the "address" field. If for whatever reason you are sure that you have it set up correctly but still aren't able to connect, you might try and put the port "411" on the end, like this: loveline.redirectme.net:411 - If that also doesn't work you should be able to access the hub directly by using this IP in the address field: 68.99.80.160. The only problem with using the IP address instead of the redirect address is, if the server is ever moved or if it changes IP's, then you'll have to find out the new address in order to connect.

If for some reason you still can't connect after trying the steps mentioned above, you can email me or post a reply in this thread with more details.

As far as other download options, check out the FAQ.

The hub name is loveline.redirectme.net in case that is not a typo up there.

Lots of options for http downloads if you look in the FAQ.

Party on, Wayne.

Kevin,

Thanks for replying so quickly. In DC++ when I try to connect to to
loveline.redirectme.net, I get the following messages:


*** Connecting to loveline.redirectme.net...
*** Connected
This hub is running version 1.0.25 of the NeoModus Direct Connect Hub Software.
*** Disconnected
*** Connecting to loveline.redirectme.net...
*** Connected
Your IP is banned!
*** Disconnected


Any ideas on what I can do? I can connect to many other hubs ok.

I now remember why your username is so familiar, we did a temporary ban on your nickname because you were continuously joining and quiting the server over and over again, I will unban you - but hopefully you can figure out what the problem is that is causing the join/parts too.

I just got DC++, and I can successfully connect. However, whenever I try to Get file List from another user, the Status just always says Connecting... but never actually connects and eventually says Conneection Timeout. What do I do?(just so you know, I am mostly computer illiterate)

Kevin,

Thanks for unbanning me...I had been using DC++, which is a little
flaky, at least on my computer. I've now switched over to the real
Direct Connect program. Hopefully that will solve the problem.

Thanks

You could try changing to passive mode, as a quick fix.

There's a lot of gold coming back from break. I won't be editing more than I currently do. I'm pretty sure I edit the most out of the crew of archivers.

And I officially edit the least -- Colin and I are two sides of the same coin... That's deep man -- really think about that... ;)

Dude, why would ANYONE want to edit out coming back from the break?!

Dude, when you talk like that, it's like I don't even KNOW you, man.

hamncheez is a NJC mirror, which is covered in the FAQ.

The newer shows are definitely much better quality (tho bigger files). Was there a cut-off date when you guys started recording the shows better? I noticed the older shows were only 14 megs but doesn't sound too good.

Jeff's site is down as of today. Sorry, but bandwidth is not free. A few fans cannot support the rest.
