3. Before doing anything here, on your C drive (or any other drive) create a folder for all your downloads to go. In the window (downloads ) below browse to that folder you made and add it here. Leave all the rest as is. And now move on to Sharing section in left menu.

4. Like you did with the downloads folder, create another folder where all your shared files will be. Click "add folder" below and find it so it shows here. If you are sharing on 2 Hard drives do as I did below. So you have created 2 separate folders. One for downloads and one for sharing. Make sure that "Upload Slots" shows 2 or more, or you cannot get into hub. Now go to Logs section in left menu.

5. If you want to log chats, downloads, uploads, and private chats check off these boxes as I did below and find a folder to store them in and add it in top window. Now move on to Advanced section in left menu.

6. Make sure that "Automatically search for alternate download locations" is checked, and "use small send buffer" should NOT be checked. Leave everything else as it is by default. Now click OK and the settings window will close.

7. Click on View at top of page and click Favorite Hubs. You should see this page. Click on NEW at bottom.

8. NEW brings up this page. Fill out as you see it. Put PFCO Hub after "Name". Put your info where it is indicated in the bottom section. Put the nickname and password that you registered with, in the correct area. Make sure it is same nickname used in step #1 and has no spaces. You may have to return here to change the address numbers if you can not connect. Let me know if you have problems with connecting via PM in forum or email to copf@earthlink.net and describe what error you get please. Now click OK and you will see PFCO Hub is added in main window as one of your favorite hubs. Put a check mark in the box next to PFCO Hub and then close DC++ and reopen and you should connect to hub. If a window pops up asking you to UPGRADE SAY NO!! If you have problems or do not understand just PM me in the forum or email me at copf@earthlink.net, and I will get you set up.
