A new update to ApexDC++ is now available to download. This version comes with DHT enabled by default and can be switched off in settings. We believe it will enhance our users' download experience by finding more sources for files. We have a What is DHT? guide for anybody wanting to find out more information.

You can read the full release notes or download the update immediately from our download page.

Please use our new tracker to report any issues with this version.

so DHT is good? publishing your ip + share in public?

[Big Muscle]

Since direct connect is about sharing in public, then yes, it's good.

[doberman]

in old published apex you where able to copy favorites,Queue and hash.
But in this new release i dont see that's possible.
Any ideas?

Hmmmm, not sure that DHT being automatically enabled is really a good thing for private hubs but I guess most people wouldn't know to enable it so it's better off being on by default.

In any case, it's simple enough to block clients with DHT enabled hub-side for private hubs so good job bringing more features in

Yeah, it's an issue we have been considering since it was first introduced. Private hubs have had plenty of time to detect and manage DHT users correctly. The benefits to public hub users is brilliant and like you said, not many users would know how to enable it (but would be able to disable it with a message from hub).

[Big Muscle]

Also, since any DHT security issues are only private hubs admins' myth, they must solve anything about it by their own. From what I have already read, I'm thinking about removing DHT detection and putting enabled DHT in hub count in tag (NMDC) or INF/HN (ADC). It will more reflect so-called private issues and will be more honest.

This popped up when I upgraded and I had it so my password would be sent automatically. I am almost positive I know it and I typed it in but it won't go through. HELP!
