Shakespeer Alternatives
Shakespeer is described as 'ShakesPeer is a peer to peer (P2P) file sharing program. It is a client for the Direct Connect protocol. The main goal of ShakesPeer is to create a fully featured client, compatible with DC++, that runs on Mac OS X with a native Aqua GUI' and is an app in the File Sharing category. There are nine alternatives to Shakespeer for Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac and Haiku. The best alternative is DC++, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Shakespeer are FlylinkDC++ (Free, Open Source), ApexDC++ (Free, Open Source), EiskaltDC++ (Free, Open Source) and StrongDC++ (Free, Open Source).
- DC++ is an open source client for Windows for the Direct Connect protocol.
- FlylinkDC++ is a free and open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network or to the ADC protocol. Is derived from the client DC++ and is based on the source code ApexDC + + 0.4.
- ApexDC.net is the home of an innovative P2P program using the Direct Connect and ADC networks. ApexDC++ is free to download and provides the ability to achieve truly fast downloads.
- EiskaltDC++ is a program for UNIX-like systems that uses the Direct Connect and ADC protocol. It is compatible with other DC clients, such as the original DC from Neomodus, DC++ and derivatives. EiskaltDC++ also interoperates with all common DC hub software.No screenshots yet
