Why should I've used Direct Connect instead, Deus

Hi Deus and RoyCulley,
Deus commented: Real men use Direct Connect !
ShareAza.EXE handles eDonkey2000, Gnutella2 and BitTorrent. It allows me to cap uploads, so everyone on the open LAN, including myself, has plenty of free bandwidth.
I recently used it to download a fine copy of StarWarsSithDVDRipAVI, along with gigabytes of other crap.
With ShareAza I saw from 700 to 2,000 sources for the StarWars, which means lots of people Kept it on their harddisks, so I Knew it was a good copy.
In contrast, BitTorrents were hard to evalute and not even working. As it was, with eDonkey200, it took a long time for the download to start, I had to buildup credits, obviously.
So... Why should I've used Direct Connect instead, Deus ?
By the way, I can get 1.5-.9 Mbps InternetOnly NakedADSL for 42 USD-month. Perfect for building up credits on eDonkey or BitTorrent.
I'd use Cotse.NET as my virtual ISP of course, at 6 USD-month. With it's OnTheFly e-mail aliases, SMTPAUTH, 150 megs of hosting, privacy policies and SSHproxies, Cotse simply has no compebreastors.
