ApexDC++ 1.0.1 Final
Back in 2006 I posted here announcing the release of the very first test version of ApexDC++, and after a long hiatus I'm at it again! Things have been progressing extremely well within the project, and this is our biggest announcement yet...
We've just released version 1.0.1, the culmination of over two years of development. With well over a million downloads, ApexDC++ has firmly established itself as a major player in the DC game, and if you haven't checked it out yet I highly recommend you do!
Head over to ApexDC.net to have a look for yourself.

Arcade Relaunch!
After a lengthy hiatus, I am pleased to announce that the PeerWeb Arcade has returned! I'd like to take this opportunity to also let people know that not all of the games will work for the time being, so if you find games that are not working correctly, please report them in this thread. Sadly, all high-scores have been wiped, but on the bright side, you should still be able to defend that trophy you had months ago once you get some practice in!
Hope you all enjoy the Arcade (again)!
Shareaza.com Scam Site
As we previously posted, the website now seen at shareaza.com is no longer owned by the developers of the Shareaza P2P Application or any party involved in its development. Rather, it is managed and run by a group who is intent on manipulating the innocent user into downloading their malware application. In regards to this a new development has recently surfaced. Old versions of Shareaza accessed information available at the address 'update.shareaza.com' in order to learn if a new version was available and subsequently request to upgrade. Now that this domain is in the hands of a 3rd party with hostile intentions they have recreated this address and now feed false information to versions of Shareaza that access the site requesting for upgrade data. These older versions of Shareaza then report that an upgrade is available and inform the user to download it from the false site at shareaza.com. This is of course a ploy and any and all users of an outdated version of Shareaza (6 months old and older) must be informed of this.
If you know of anyone using an older version then please let them know that the current official website for Shareaza is shareaza.sf.net and that they should not upgrade Shareaza using its built in upgrade function unless it is one of the latest official open source versions. The loss of the shareaza.com domain happened under most unfortunate circumstances and hopefully in due time everyone will be aware of the switch in the address.
