PeerWeb DC++

PeerWeb DC++ allows you to share files over the internet without restrictions or limits. The client is completely free of advertisements and has a nice, easy to use interface. Firewall and router support is integrated and it's easy and convenient to use functionality like multi-hub connections, auto connections and resuming of downloads.

PeerWeb DC++ which is now known as ApexDC++. ApexDC++ is, and always will be, free from all forms of malware. The project is managed and developed by veterans of the P2P scene and as such we feel we are in touch with the opinions, wishes and requirements of our users. ApexDC++ will be based on the upcoming StrongDC++ RC11 release, fixing a huge amount of bugs and increasing the mod's efficiency at transferring. Due to my Beta Tester role at StrongDC++, I can tell you this version is going to rock. And so will ApexDC++.

Our program will consist of the popular features found in PeerWeb DC++ before we make progress in developing true features in the client. If you enjoyed a feature in PeerWeb DC++, ensure we know about it to include it in ApexDC++. Internal betas will be provided to Donators (All donations go towards mirrors, the IPB license and new C++ coders) and Beta Testers. Currently, we are not excepting any Beta Testers (PeerWeb DC++'s Beta Testers are welcomed back to this project). However, you may check out our new competition that will grant you Beta Tester status!

The first official version of ApexDC++ will be 1.0 Beta. This version will have new themes, graphics, features from PeerWeb DC++ and others clients, and any other features we manage to intergrate in a short space of time. However, we need to wait until Big Muscle releases StrongDC++ RC11 before we do any coding. Expect 1.0 Beta to be out soon after.

Here is a list of the main features of the program:

• Partial uploading and downloading enhancements. This feature allows downloaders to share the incomplete files they are currently downloading with other downloaders of the same file, increasing download speeds and efficiency greatly.
• The user with the complete file will be able to share different parts of the file to different users in order to spread the file throughout the hub and decrease the time it takes to seed a file into a hub – this is known as 'Super Seeding' in Bittorrent.
• Foobar2000 support (type /f or /foobar in main chat – requires foo_spam to be placed in Foobar2000 components folder)
• Get IP Address and "Autoupdate IP at startup" are located in the connection area so you can easily configure your connection settings
