What Is DCgate? |
DCgate is the best way to chat and share files with other students at Purdue. It allows you to connect to other users on the Purdue campus and share files at blazing speeds, all while not using any of your 5GB bandwidth limit. |
| How Does It Work? |
| DCgate works by connecting your computer to a IRC server, this synchronizes data between clients and lets your client know where other users are on the network. Think of DCgate as your phone and the server as the directory. It shows you the address of other users on the network. (See diagram below) |
 |
| OK, This Sounds Good, How Do I Get It? |
In order to begin sharing files on DCgate you will need the following two items: The DCgate gateway and a DC client. Currently we only have binaries for windows, however you can compile the source for use on Linux or MacOS. |
| Got The Files, Now What? |
| To begin downloading and sharing files, extract the contents of the DCgate archive to your computer and execute the DCgate application. Next, Install DC++ or another DC client. Finally, read the "readme.txt" included with DCgate for instructions on configuring your client. |
| I Still Need Help! |
