Direct Connect is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol. Direct connect clients connect to a central hub and can download files directly from one another. An old implementation is known as NMDC (NeoModus Direct Connect), a new one is ADC (Advanced Direct Connect) which includes a lot of improvements.
