·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).  You can see from the columns of features, how the clients differ from the original DC++ and other modded clients. 
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.
