Download DC++ 0.780

Version 0.780, an unstable version, of the p2p program DC++ has been released. DC++ is one of many programs for exchanging files over the Direct Connect network. The program owes the two pluses in its name to C++, in which it is written. The package is developed by Jacek Sieka and is an open source variant of the original Neomodus Direct Connect client. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
