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.
