Here is some general info about traditional hub etiquette.

If you want to drop in and grab a file or two periodically, feel free to do so. If you want to copy everything there ever was...

The folks on the hub are just fans like each of us. They are using their personal PCs and internet connections to share Alizée with fans. The files only exist on the members personal computers. There isn't a massive server sitting somewhere. Files aren't uploaded. They are available only when someone with the file is online.

In the spirit of sharing... some guidelines (NOT rules )

-Introduce yourself to someone before you raid their share.
-Consider limiting downloads per day. The hub isn't going anywhere. No need to rush.
-Share what you have downloaded back to the community. (See post 5 in this thread for details on sharing a folder)

The reason for sharing is that the software has some powerful features. The search feature will download from several people at once if they all have the same file, and it will prevent you from downloading a file you already have. This works even if the file names are different. This speeds up the process and distributes the load.

Here are some links to FAQs and manuals for the software.
