Description-en: command-line based Direct Connect client
microdc2 is a command-line based Direct Connect client that uses
the GNU Readline library for user interaction. It was developed from
ground up and does not depend on any other program. Despite the
command-line user interface, it was designed to be user friendly and
simple to use. It can work on headless host (under `screen`, for
instance) ant thus, doesn't require you to run an expensive X11
session, as other clients do.
.
microdc2 is currently in beta state - there may be many bugs not yet
discovered. It also lacks some features that other clients support,
such as file hashing, multiple hub connections, and hub list support.
.
Direct Connect protocol is used for P2P file sharing. See it's
description on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Connect_(file_sharing).
