DC++ is an free open-source, ad and spyware-free client, written in C++ for the Direct Connect protocol originally developed by John Hess, that allows you to share files over the internet with other users.

* Much more stable. It wastes less memory, is faster, file size is smaller and long queue won't freeze the whole program. Neo-Modus Direct Connect eats memory and resources.
* You can connect to many hubs at same time and search for files from all of them with same search.
* You can continue downloading the same file from other users if somebody leaves.
* You can see timestamps in the chat. Chat won't jump to end when you roll back old messages.
* Bot messages wont popup new windows, you can also filter bot messages off.
* No Ads.
* Search is more versatile.
* Hublist is downloadable from multiple servers/sources.

Notes:
0.750 marks the moment where the migration to MinGW is mature enough to call DC++ a full MinGW compliant application. This release improves the program functionality and how it works on your system. Major enhancements include : openssl fix for older libraries, fixed major known crashes, updated help, minor GUI features, new interface for settings page, and the REF extension for NMDC and ADC that allow peers attacked by the CTM exploit(willingly or unwillingly) to find out the corrupted hub that is used for attacking.
