FlylinkDC++

FlylinkDC++ is a free and open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network or to the ADC protocol. This client is derived from the client DC++ and is based on the source code ApexDC++ 0.4.0 (up to and including the branch r4xx) and StrongDC++ 2.42 (ranging from branch r5xx). Its usage is optimized for ADSL and LAN.

History

Program supports BitTorrent protocol since October 1, 2016.[2]
