Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ApexDC++ and DC++?
Both applications connect to Direct Connect and ADC networks for peer-to-peer file sharing. ApexDC++ is based on StrongDC++ and includes additional features such as segmented downloads, enhanced queue management, bandwidth controls, and more customization options. DC++ provides a simpler and more traditional Direct Connect experience.
How do I connect to a hub in ApexDC++?
Open the public hub list or enter the address of a private hub, then connect to the server. Some hubs may require user registration, a minimum shared file size, or other rules before allowing access.
Can ApexDC++ resume interrupted downloads?
Yes. ApexDC++ supports resuming interrupted downloads whenever the requested files are still available from connected users. This helps prevent large downloads from restarting after a connection interruption or system restart.
Is ApexDC++ safe to use?
Yes. ApexDC++ itself is open-source software, and the overview states that it is malware-free. Even on peer-to-peer networks, you should download files only from trusted users because shared files may contain malicious or unwanted content.
