Maybe you can add what "Direct Connect" is.

I could not find it on the project page.

Wikipedia has: "Direct connect is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. 
Direct connect clients connect to a central hub and can download files 
directly from one another."

I propose to add that to the long package description.

Bye
