Website: http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/ Software Provider: DC ++ Development Team Current Version: DC Plus Plus 0.699 Operating Systems: Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista License: Freeware
Changed so that only bz-lists can be downloaded using the extra slot (since they\'re smaller...)
Fixed size column in download queue
Added last known hub viewing for users that are offline (not saved between dc++ sessions, this would take too many resources...)
Added /-commands to pm windows as well (most of them anyway...)
Added /grant to pm window
Added /close to close a window
Added a very short /help message
Added latest version to about dialog box
Fixed windows maximization state change
Added an option to use system icons when browsing files
Added support for bzip2-compressed hub list downloading (also, the full hub list will only be available in bzip2 format to
ease the load on the dc++ list server)
Added some info to the tooltip when dc++ is minimized to the tray (stats are for transfers only, hub traffic is not counted in...)
Changed the slots info at the bottom to show free slots instead of taken (to avoid confusion when viewing the search results...)
Added deleting from search results window (use the delete button on the keyboard...)
Added option not to popup a new window for pm:s (message is shown in main chat instead unless there\'s already a pm window open)
Added opening of previously downloaded user file lists menu option
Fixed some minor UI issues
Set default sorting to nick in the users list
Fixed a bug that caused some temporary files not to be deleted
Increased number of search results returned when searching in active mode to 10 (instead of 5...10 is much better as you can search
for 10 disks at a time in a rar/ace-set), passive mode is still 5
Added option to automatically open an extra slot if current upload speed is less than a certain kb/sec
When sorting users by nick, op\'s are now put on top/bottom (ascending/descending)
Added automatic reindexing of file list every now and then...
About:
DC++ is an open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network. It is developed primarily by Jacek Sieka.
As of 2006, no official statistics exist to verify the proportion of DirectConnect users using DC++. However, it is generally believed to be the most extensively used by a large margin; administrators of popular public DirectConnect hubs generally agree that DC++ is the client used by a significant majority.
DC++ is an open-source alternative to the original client, NeoModus Direct Connect (NMDC). It connects to the same file-sharing network, and supports the same file-sharing protocol. One of the reasons commonly attributed to the aforementioned popularity of DC++ is the fact that it has no adware of any kind; NMDC on the other hand contains adware.
