DC++ ("DC-plus-plus") for Windows (OS) serves as a file-sharing tool on the Direct Connect network, allowing users to quickly find and download various files located on other users' PCs.
Unlike similar programs, DC++ stands out for its stable distribution updates and reliable operation. This program performs hashing and downloading from multiple sources. It features a functional and advanced chat. Data exchange is carried out according to the ADC and NMDC protocols. To perform file exchanges, a connection to a network server—a hub—is required.
Key Features:
- No malicious modules, spyware, adware, or other unwanted built-in programs.
- Simultaneous connection to multiple hubs.
- Bookmarks for users and hubs.
- Uses TTH (Tiger Tree Hashes) for file integrity.
- Searches for files by name, size, or type across all hubs or newly connected ones.
- Segmented downloading.
- Supports resuming downloads with search for similar sources.
- Supports MAGNET links for linking specific content.
- Manual and automatic configuration of download settings.
- Multilingual interface.
The distributions include files for changing the interface language; the program currently supports 56 languages. The distribution also contains a GeoIP database for determining users' countries by their IP addresses. The database is regularly updated. Updates are included in subsequent distributions, and the database can also be downloaded from a relevant online service.
Network users grant access to some of their folders. Subsequently, any other user on the network can download this information from their PC. A direct connection is established between two computers, and one PC begins transmitting its data to the other.
