How is it different from DC++?

• jamii 16y ago
  The core principle is similar. DC++ has centralized hubs which handle searches and upload files directly to users. Tribler has a distributed search engine which runs on every peer and uses bittorrent to share files. Effectively every single Tribler node behaves like a DC++ hub. As a result it is much harder to take down.

    A minor nitpick is that DC++ is the open source client. The protocol/network is called Direct Connect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Connect_network http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_Connect_network

    That sounds a lot like Gnutella and it's worst own enemy: being so overloaded with search traffic that the rest suffers.
