Where Does DC++ Store Settings?
DC++ XML settings in Roaming AppData, with favorites, queue and hub lists as siblings.
Last updated
DC++ stores settings as XML files in a DC++ folder under Roaming AppData. The headline file is DCPlusPlus.xml with ports, limits, paths and UI state, joined by Favorites.xml for hubs, ADLSearch.xml for auto search rules, and queue files for pending transfers.
Downloads themselves live wherever configured, outside this tree, which splits backups in two. The settings folder migrates identity and preferences while the download folders carry payload. Portable builds keep the same XML set beside the executable instead, so check there first on USB stick copies.
Where DC++ stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\DC++
Headline file is DCPlusPlus.xml. Siblings include Favorites.xml, ADLSearch.xml and queue state. Download and incomplete folders sit wherever configured, outside this tree. Copy with DC++ closed.
Frequently asked questions
how do i move dc++ to a new pc
Copy the whole DC++ AppData folder with DC++ closed. DCPlusPlus.xml, Favorites.xml, ADLSearch.xml and queue state travel together, so one folder copy migrates settings, hubs and pending downloads at once.
how do i reset dc++ settings
Delete DCPlusPlus.xml with DC++ closed and relaunch. Factory defaults regenerate, clearing broken ports, stuck paths and bad UI states. Favorites and queue live in sibling files, so a config reset never wipes those.
