Bug#446449: RFA: dc-qt -- GUI frontend for the dc protocol
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi
This package really did a good job here and helped me a lot with my
local uni network. At the moment, I am using linuxdcpp though, which has
probably some more features. However, popcon states 196 users.
Please take good care of it, if it turns out not to be removed in favor
of linuxdcpp.
The package description is:
dc-qt is a qt front-end for the dctc program. dctc handles all
communication with dc hubs and clients, while dc-qt presents an
interface that has many of the features of the original directconnect
client, plus some really useful improvements.
.
It is intended for peer-based file-sharing. In practise it works better than
gnutella and other similar systems as it allows dc hubs (servers)
administators to require clients to share specified amount of data. The
amount is usually based on type of client's connection and it is used not
to hurt or exclude anybody but to make file sharing "fair play".
.
dc-qt is still alpha, so some care has to be taken - try it out!
