This hub was created shortly after the beginning of the 2003-2004 academic year, in response to the increasing difficulty of connecting to public peer-to-peer (p2p) networks, and the significant bandwidth throttling for such connections. Direct Connect (DC) was selected as the connection protocol due to the ability to maintain a private hub, and the hub server software is moderately easy to set up and maintain.
