How I got DC++ to run in Linux

Hi
I thought id post this just because it may be of interest to lots of linux newbies. I tried Valknut, Azureus and other linux distributions but did not really like them. So I moved to trying to run DC++ with wine. First I tried by downloading the installer and after several attempts with crashing I decided to download the binary (dont even know what it means by that). After I unzipped it I noticed it looked like the DC++ directory on my windows desktop. So I emptied the DC++ directory in my Wine Program files directory (stuff left over botched attempts), ensured I had the right dll
this guide shows you which ones and the config lines u need to insert
funkfunk.orcon.net.nz/dcwine
To use the above address u need to put the http bit in front and html on end, it wont let me post the website here until i have five posts.
I then ran DC++ using wine and it worked. I have had it running for quite a while now and it hasnt shown any instability.
If any more experienced users (prolly 98% of this forum) want to comment please feel free to do so, maybe help show how I fluked getting it work this way

Thanks for this - I have been trying to find a P2P client as good as DC++ since I've started using Linux and have since been unsuccessful.

If anyone can help decipher what this means would be greatly appreciated

i followed the exact steps described in that tutorial for dc++ under wine and it worked ok for about 5 days and now it started crash, but it only crashes when i try to get a filelist from any of the users, and before it never happened.
