XG called Xdcc Grabscher is a XDCC download tool.

What makes it special?

XG consits of a server and a client. The server is a commandline app which connects to irc servers an handles all communications and downloading. The client can search and activate downloads on the server. You can run the server on every machine that supports C# / Mono – even root servers without X or an old weak pc running linux without a monitor – and controll your downloads with the client from everywhere you want. So you dont have to keep your normal pc running, but just a small download pc wich handles all the irc stuff.

A so called killer feature is the multiple download function. Every good xdcc client can resume and check downloads of course, but xg is able to download the same packet / file from different bots / sources. It can split downloads in multiple parts, download each part from a different bot and merge them back after the error free download. So you can use your bandwith with the maximum performance.

Is it free?

Yes it is free and opensource, but you can donate of course

What’s that ‘OpenSource’?

And all of this for free…
