- DC:PRO
-
DC:PRO was a free and open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network. It is developed primarily by Richard Philip Nguyen.
The client is free of advertisements and has a user-friendly interface. It has full support for in-client chat which allows the user to participate in chat rooms without a need for separate chat software, which means less processor and memory usage.
The client has the ability to send operators commands and you can add and edit more commands by using hub scripts. The client interface is flexible and allows you to change the toolbar buttons, your native language among other things.
Even thou DC:PRO is licensed under GNU General Public License, the complete source code has not been made available to the public yet.
Few of the main features are:
- Segmented Downloading: Download simultaneously the same files from many users;
- Clean and neat user-friendly interface;
- Multi-hub connections;
- Text chat with colors and images;
