Easily share files online with multiple peers.

DC++ (also known as DC Plus Plus) is a tool for sharing all kinds of files using the Direct Connect system, connecting users who are also using this application.

Direct Connect (and thus DC++ as well) is based on the exchange of files through "hubs", a certain type of chat room, each with its own rules to share a minimum of files and allow a certain number of uploads you depending.

DC++ is fully compatible with Direct Connect, offering a very interesting alternative to this and that, among other things, has more features such as being able to connect to more than one hub simultaneously and provides a more efficient interface.
