Download AirDC++ 2.42

AirDC++ is a p2p program that allows files via the Direct Connectnetwork can be shared. It is an alternative to programs such as DC++ and StrongDC++, on which it is partly based. However, AirDC++ has more possibilities and is also more actively developed. Version 2.41 was released last week and a small update was released this weekend. The changelog for both versions can be found below:
