the user interface. LinuxDC++ is free and open source software licensed
under the GPL.
Direct Connect is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. The most popular
Windows client implementing this protocol currently is DC++. Direct Connect
clients connect to a central hub where they can view a list of clients or
users connected to them. Users can search for files and download them from
other clients, as well as chat with other users.
