Download DC++ 0.810

A new stable 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.
