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
