LFSNZ now has an official DC (Direct Connect) Hub server.
Direct connect is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. Direct connect clients connect to a central hub and can download files directly from one another.
Hubs feature a list of clients or users connected to them. Users can search for files and download them from other clients, as well as chat with other users.
The Hub Setup Guide for LFSNZ only!
