ANONYMOUS  use walknut, it's working great.

The onky trouble is with hubs that only wants dc++ clients : you can't do anything with it, as valknut is considered as crap for these guys, but nevermind, this is the best working client for mac so far, and works OK with Tiger

APOCALYPSE   Don't bother to download this application. It doesn't work. Coz, only allows you to connect to the hub. You can't even download a file. That's why it's an Alhpa version.

The interface though, is very nice.

However the developers stopped this project.

If you want a DC++ client for your mac try:

Valknut, not the best mac interface but works perfect.

ANONYMOUS  I just found out about Valknut, a multi platform DC client. It has a number of features over other attempts at DC on OSX most notably Actually Working which is nice. check it out.

Also another client called ShakesPeer is in the works but I don't think it's quite ready yet, worth keeping an eye on

BARNABY  This version cannot search for files or download, therefore rendering totally useless (unless you want to use it like messenger or a forum) Go to http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/984992057/2 This Is a fully working version that I have been using with panter, although I think you only need osx 10.1.1 for it to work

Good luck!

JDUNN  I haven't tried connecting to a hub yet, but I will soon. It has a very snappy interface though, way better than dcgui, which is kind of scary. This will be great when files can be downloaded, etc...

After discovering Bit Torrent, I was surprised to learn of Direct Connect hubs, another thing I knew nothing of. Coudln't get into DC though, becuase of the clunky software. Hopefully this will be the ticket.
