Direct Connect allows you to share files over the Internet without restrictions or limits. The client is completely free of advertisements and has a nice, easy to use interface. firewall and router support is integrated and it is easy and convenient to use functionality like multi-hub connections, auto-connections and resuming of downloads.
How do I get it? There are many clients:

DCPlusPLus: Modded version of the original, more user friendly
ApexDC++: Probably the most user friendly client. Great for beginners.

Good Hubs
I'm assuming you're an idiot if you think that.
Either that, or you never read the forum rules, to which end i would have to tell you to go do that quickly.
And the word you where looking for is "allowed" X)
You don't, unless it gets stickied.
Which leads back to my original point, PM'ing Nephilim about this thread, so it can get included in the guides sticky, because on it's own, it's not worth the prime real estate type space that is the first page.
