lol... [AHS]Omega-Prime is me !

The reason why you see that message is because I set a max of 3 upload slots (so a fair amount of people can download from me). Any higher, and my upload slows down and it takes longer for the uploads to finish. But what I can do is grant users extra slots if they ask (which I normally do), so do PM me in the hub and I'll grant you one

Also, it may say "your nick is already taken" at times, since it's somewhat of a problem with DC++ not refreshing itself at times. It doesn't happen often, but if it does, wait for about 5min. and it should work again.

Lastly, be sure to properly shut down DC++, as it ensures your queue remains intact. At times, it doesn't save a queue, but the solution is to search for a file with the same filesize, right-click it, and when it says "Browse", click on the file you want to resume downloading from. Hope this all helps you out !

When I close DC++ and re-open it ,I still found the file on download queue, and it automatically connect to Omega Prime
(oh.. I see, it is you ^_^) But when connected it download the
file from the beginning.

Did you try what I mentioned about browsing for the file you already downloaded and searched for one with the same filesize? You've gotta make sure not to move the file you started downloading, since DC++ has no way of tracking where it could be located besides where it says so in the queue.

the files always in download queue everytime I run DC++, it automatically connected to the user. And it will resume automatically too ?? Or I got anything else to do?
How do I send PM in the hub??
I click Send Private message, but where should I type the PM & where is the send button ?

If it's in the queue, it should try to connect to the user you queued in from. In the Advanced tab in DC++, there's an option you can check off called "Automatically search for alternative download locations", which allows DC++ to search for users with the same file without you having to do anything. Of course, it has its limits, and it doesn't always search for every file (only ones with the same filename), but this should help.

And about PMs... if you used the "send private message" feature, there should be an empty window. Just type what you want to say and click enter, and it'll send the message. Hope this helps out
