The downloads
The client can be downloaded, precompiled and ready to run. DC++ runs on any supported Windows editions (currently Windows 10 and 11 but also Windows 7 SP1 and 8.1 for the time being) as well as under Wine.
If you have experience in C++ programming, the source code for DC++ is also available. To compile DC++, you will need the tools from MinGW. Refer to the compiling guide for more information.
DC++ is distributed with language files included. By default it will use the language specified in Windows locale settings. You can change it in Settings > Appearance > Language. Found errors or omissions in DC++'s interface of your native? You can help translating DC++ to your own language using our web-based translating interface.
Package information
The DC++ distribution has three types of files:
A Windows Installer that sets up DC++ for immediate usage on any supported systems (into your Program Files folder, with shortcuts and user profile support).
This file is of the form DCPlusPlus-###.exe.
Binary archives that can be unzipped anywhere and are usable right away (portable version, without any shortcuts or registry information created).
These files are of the form DCPlusPlus-###-x64.zip (optimized build for modern systems with 64-bit CPU and SSE4.2 instruction support) and DCPlusPlus-###.zip (32-bit legacy build for all other supported systems).
An archive with the source code that was used for compiling and creating the executable distributed in the other packages; for experienced programmers.
This file is of the form DCPlusPlus-###-src.zip.
Not sure which build to use? Simply use the installer package and it will automatically decide and install the best build for your system.
