We notice you to check your share against files that violate your country's copyright law.

The point of these rules is that the slot requirements are based on the upload speed of your connection. This ensures at least 3-4 KiB/sec speed for a single slot. We tried to develop our rules so that you won't have to open too few or too many slots (there won't be any free slots/the download speed would be too slow ).

You should set up your upload slots based on the following table:

Bandwidth	Slot	Hub	Limit*
up to xx/96 kbps	2-3 slots	max. 2 hubs	-
up to xx/128 kbps	3 slots	max. 3 hubs	min. 12 KiB/s
up to xx/160 kbps	3-4 slots	max. 3 hubs	min. 12 KiB/s
up to xx/192 kbps	4 slots	max. 4 hubs	min. 15 KiB/s
up to xx/256 kbps	4 slots	max. 4 hubs	min. 20 KiB/s
up to xx/384 kbps	4-5 slots	max. 5 hubs	min. 29 KiB/s
up to xx/512 kbps	5-6 slots	max. 6 hubs	min. 38 KiB/s
up to xx/768 kbps	6-8 slots	max. 6 hubs	min. 58 KiB/s
up to xx/1 mpbs	6-8 slots	max. 7 hubs	min. 77 KiB/s
up to xx/2 mbps	8-10 slots	max. 7 hubs	min. 154 KiB/s
up to xx/4 mbps	11-20 slots	max. 8 hubs	-
up to xx/10 mbps	18-35 slots	max. 10 hubs	-
over xx/10 mbps	31-50 slots	max. 13 hubs	-

* You can set up any upload limit only by using a proper Direct Connect client with limiting functions (like BCDC++, StrongDC++ Lite, Valknut)

If you don't know your bandwidth, you can check your ISP's webpage or your contract. But since a lot of ISPs were raised the bandwidth in the past, it may worth to use a website to measure your bandwidth. It's importantto quit any application that may use your internet-connection before measuring. You can do that on the following page:

• http://www.speedtest.net

You will need to indicate the results in your client's Description field under File >> Settings >> Personal Information. If you're using BCDC++, you have another option to do that. Simply go to File >> Settings >> Personal Information, then select option "Detailed" on the "Nominal bandwidth" section, and simply choose the correct speeds from the drop-down list. Make sure the "Indicate them in the Description field" checkbox is checked.

Put the values between square brackets, write the download bandwidth first followed by the upload bandwidth separated in a / sign.

We recommend you to indicate the unit too (K = kilobit/sec or M = megabit/sec). If you omit it, our robot will consider it as kilobit/sec. An example: [987K/654K]

You can use every kind of Direct Connect client which is able to TTH hash files and doesn't violate GNU GPL. The minimum client version is DC++ 0.666 or equivalent. If you're using other kind of client, we disallow using the DC++ emulation feature, use the client's own TAG.

• Try not to use chat slang. In the aim of preserving the chat quality, we may kick for overusing of slang.

• On Elite Hub, any user can ask for registration. To do so, seek for an active Operator who will reg you.
• It's important to know that the rules of the hub are applied to registered users too, so you will still need at least 10 GiB share to be able to download and the other rules will be still applied to you.
• The Operators of the hub may remove registrations which are not used for more than six months.
• We expect fair play from our registered users too, so disrupting the community or any other intentional and serious misdemeanor can make us ban you and delete your registration.
