A competent filesharing/DC client which supports encryption, segment downloading and customization.

ApexDC++ is a file-sharing program with a number of very useful features, based heavily on StrongDC++.

This particular version implements a modified and improved user interface which allows users to share files in Direct Connect networks with NDMC and ADC protocols.

ApexDC++ isn't nearly as popular as newer programs like Bit Torrent, but still has a following. Unlike most Bit Torrent clients, ApexDC++ has a built-in search engine which makes download smaller files somewhat easier in some cases.

The general user interface of ApexDC++ isn't too much to write home about, since it's familiar to people who have ever used other DC++ clients. With that said, it includes a couple of extra features on installation such as emoticons and a GeoIP database.

ApexDC++ is notable for its use of encryption and ability to download files in segments from multiple users at a time.

Additionally, this file-sharing application can limit upload and download speeds, installation of publicly available plugins and a number of other settings.

In conclusion, ApexDC++ is a customizable DC client which has features that others don't. It's pretty fast and comes with a collection of hubs to connect to.
