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
The program was originally created on October 16, 2006 with the name DomolinkDC++, but due to a conflict with a registered trademark of Домолинк, the program was renamed.[1] On July 23, 2011 on the official developer blog had its own translation system, but on June 1, 2012 they started using Transifex. Program supports BitTorrent protocol since October 1, 2016.[2]
