Help a newbie?

Post by tim1234 » 2005-10-15 18:50

Is it possible to download the same file from multiple sources in order to speed up the download? I am using the client version DC++ 0.674. Thanks.

In eight words: But I heard that it is still unsafe.

Seriously, there are contradictory reports, I accept if you say it is safe (however I am not planning to use it), now hubowners say these clients eat up slots.

I am not against new stuff myself, have always been open to everything.
