·Where can I get the software for Windows?
·DC clients for Linux?
·DC clients for Mac?
·Does DC++ work on Windows Vista?

The following is a comparison table of the various popular DC++ clients and others that use the Direct Connect / ADC protocol(s).  One can see from the columns of features, how the clients differ from the original DC++ and other modded clients.  This is obviously not an all inclusive list of additional features over the original client. One should take some time to further explore what features the main clients offer.

If you would like your client added, send me a PM and I'll consider adding it.  The table is a work in progress, suggestions are welcome.
