About:
EiskaltDC++ is a cross-platform GUI client for the Direct Connect and ADC file-sharing protocols. It enables users to connect to hubs to share and download files directly from other users. The application focuses on being lightweight and highly customizable while providing all essential features for peer-to-peer file exchange.

Key Features:

Support for both Direct Connect (NMDC) and Advanced Direct Connect (ADC) protocols
Lightweight Qt-based GUI with extensive theming and customization options
Multi-hub support allowing simultaneous connections to multiple communities
Built-in search functionality and file queue management

Use Cases:

Joining private Direct Connect hubs to share and download files with specific communities
Managing large file transfers with queue control and bandwidth management
Customizing the client interface and functionality through settings and themes

Alternatives:

Shakespeer – macOS-native DC client, but less actively maintained and lacks ADC support
StrongDC++ – Windows-focused fork with advanced features, but no native macOS version
