I use this port every other week -- DC++ networks are still quite popular e.g. in Russia. It often helps to revive torrents which are lacking any peers, not to mention finding all-gone stuff like players' Quake3 configs from ~2000.

I'm well aware of EiskaltDC++ and brushed it up couple of years ago. I'll see if it needs some love again, thank you. Upstream aliveness is the least of my concern for any project, FWIW, only its working state and usefulness. > hhttp://corsair626.no-ip.org/ doesn't even resolve so why is it > still kept?
