Opera's DC++ (oDC)
|
Opera's DC is a file sharing client for the DirectConnect network. This network offers thousands of GBytes of downloads, including Linux distributions, game demo's and film trailers. To be able to search for a file, you first have to connect to one or several servers. A list of these hubs is included in this free program. Due to many of these hubs requiring a 'min share' , you must offer a certain number of files for other users to download.
oDC++ is an acronym for Opera's DC++ which is based on the popular Direct Connect clone "DC++".
Since DC++ is open source, you can download the source code and start modifying it. This is what I have done.
To do this, you need to stick to GPL (GNU General Public License). That's why I release my modifications as well.
