Is Direct Connect still 'a thing'?
I remember using it a lot a few years ago in the early 2000s and I wonder if that's still used...?
If it is, which client should one be using?

That is a long time ago that I have heard anyone say that. Wasn't there a client software called DC++ or something like that?
Yup. Where people would share their entire c drive to be able to join servers...
Their entire c drive..... Everything.
They'll get your system32!
That was super helpful to just grab one or two broken files from any installed software though. I just had a 250GB ISO with 2MB of compressed zeroes to get into servers with ridiculous requirements. Fun times...
We were using DC++ on campus to share files over twelve years ago!
