DC++ wastes less memory, is faster, file size is smaller and long queue won't freeze the whole program. Firewall and router support is integrated and it is easy and convenient to use functionality like multi-hub connections, auto-connections and resuming of downloads.ĭC++ offers these improvements over its predecessors:

The client is completely free of advertisements and has a nice, easy to use interface. Direct Connect allows you to share files over the Internet without restrictions or limits.

Please everyone upgrade as soon as possible and due to the circumstances, this time, if you can, help us with encouraging others to do the same.DC++ is an open source client for Windows for the Direct Connect network. This important release should be marked as stable within a few days. Added a new, opt-out mechanism that time to time informs a random subset our userbase about possible new testing releases, similarly as it is done for stable releases, at the start of the program.This should certainly impact all released DC++ versions since 0.851, but older versions from the last 15 years might also be affected. Updated the secure connections library (OpenSSL) fixing a serious, rather easily exploitable issue that can allow malicious DOS attacks.

Please make sure, for your own safety, that you always download DC++ from the official site and not from other 3rd party websites search engines may suggest. This means that we’re unable to show the usual announcement of the available update at the start of previously released DC++ versions – therefore everyone should do the upgrade manually this time by visiting our official project host website’s download page.

Fixed a bug that restores web connections to certain servers with multiple hostnames, unfortunately including our SourceForge host server.

A new testing version of DC++, 0.871 is pushed out today with only a few but very important updates of security and stability:
