Softpedia Editor's Review for ApexDC++
|
An improved StrongDC++ to assist you with your file sharing.
Written by Elena Opris on October 21st, 2011
Similar to StrongDC++, ApexDC++ is a file sharing/peer to peer Windows software. It means that you and other users can exchange information in a fast and easy way, through a direct connection between computers.
While most people resort to torrent clients as a way to download and upload data, ApexDC++ has quickly developed a fan-base due to the fact that it is simpler to use, and it takes up minimum RAM (we all know how most computers are limited when a torrent client is active).
During installation, ApexDC++ offers you the possibility of installing some additional components which are either fun (emoticons) or functional (GeoIP Database). Selecting all options is best if you want to know what the software is capable of.
The first impressive part comes two clicks after this, when you are prompted to install DriverScanner 2011 (for security purposes, obviously).
A lot of users have switched from other software to ApexDC++ for various reasons - speed and overall performance, the vast and helpful community, constant updates, and many others.
For example, ApexDC++ is completely customizable in appearance. You can choose your own colors and fonts for basically everything.
In addition, there are all sorts of plugins available - media players, spam filters in private messages, and various LUA modules.
DriverScanner 2011 from Uniblue is an added bonus. In a nutshell, the user-friendly tool can be used to update or backup system drivers (and it really does a splendid job!).
In conclusion, ApexD++ is probably the best software of its kind available on the current market, but you have to try it for yourself to be convinced.
