Description
Opera's DC++
Opera's DC++ is a handy tool for sharing and transferring files over a DC network. It also gives you some cool options to boost your download speed!
Simple and Clean Interface
This software has a pretty straightforward and tidy interface. You'll find just a menu bar, some buttons, a pane for viewing selected details, and another to show what's currently downloading or uploading. If you're not super tech-savvy, don't worry! The help section is easy to navigate, so you can get the hang of it quickly.
Some Drawbacks
Now, it's worth mentioning that Opera's DC++ is a bit outdated. This can cause some hiccups while using it. For instance, when trying to grab file lists from peers with newer clients, you might run into issues. Plus, the download feature doesn't always perform well if you're hoping for multi-source transfers.
Connectivity Issues
During testing, we noticed oDC++ had some connectivity problems while other clients were working just fine. Still, it comes with the basic functions you'd expect if you're planning to use it just a few times each year. Features like auto-complete usernames in chat and alternate search options are all included.
User-Friendly Features
The app also includes web shortcuts and even has a 'Go to file' option in the right-click menu so you can quickly open downloaded files. Plus, links open in your default web browser, which is super convenient!
A Bit More Work Needed
While oDC has plenty of potential, it definitely needs some updates to keep its loyal users happy. Its easy-to-use interface and decent speed make it popular among file-sharing fans. Just keep in mind that depending on how many downloads you have going on at once, it might slow down your computer a bit.
