File sharing client applicationDC++ 0.689

One of the most popular filesharing client application, DC++ allows you to share files over the Internet without restrictions or limits. You can search for files or folders throughout multiple connected hubs; searches can be categorized by several criteria: video, audio, doc, exe, etc.. Automatically downloads the public hubs list, including thousands of hubs to choose from. The interface is easy to use; multiple open windows can be arranged in cascade, horizontal tile, vertical tile, and the menu includes buttons for fast access.

Pluses: Reconnects automatically on startup and provides access to virtually limitless quantities of downloadable data.

Drawbacks / flaws: For logging on to some of the hubs, you need to share a certain amount of data, otherwise you may get disconnected on grounds of not enough shared files. If you share a huge amount of data, hashing your information by DC++ seems to take forever. You cannot download from multiple users.

In conclusion: Having both advantages and a few flaws, DC++ is still a reliable application when it comes to the imperative: "I need it, and I need it now!".
