DC++ and Strong DC++ are powerful applications for the PC.

I would like to know if there is an appropriate software for Mac OS X (Lion preferably) which can connect to hubs in my network.

Wow. I remember DC++. I was really into that in like 2004. – Fake Name Jun 8 '12 at 23:03
It would be interesting to know if DC++ runs well enough in VMWare (or other virtualization) solutions that map the PC and Mac home folders together or if people prefer a client compiled for OS X like EiskaltDC with open sourced code at code.google.com/p/eiskaltdc – bmike♦ Aug 13 '12 at 12:54

Would be nice to have brief description of what DC++ and Strong DC++ does in the original question. – MrDaniel Aug 13 '12 at 13:53

Direct Connect lists a couple of applications that support DirectConnect protocol. Amongst those are at least 3 native mac clients:

None of those, maybe with the exception of MLDonkey, seems to be very actively maintained though.

I use Eiskaltdc++. I used Shakespeer before but the developement stopped and there are some annoying bugs/missing features. The only problem is Eiskaltdc++ is not retina ready. Jucy has been buggy when I used it about a year ago.
