About the same here. Its a cool idea and I really liked it but ended up stopping using it once I went with a headless Linux setup.

If dc++ can be done with a docker container and if i could hit my headless dc++ container er with an android app or even a web front-end that i also host, id get back into it.

I think the other issue i had was getting into various dc++ servers was a pain in the ass and downloading an album from someone would take days, if it finished at all. And the quality of the tracks would be questionable enough where it also had me running the downloads through other apps which verified the quality, track completion, renaming, etc.

Lidarr does all of this already.

So now that I think about it...

Eh maybe not dc++ again

When I was living on campus at uni 9–10 years ago we had only 5 GB data per month* but we also had a DC++ LAN with all the other on-campus students which didn’t count. It was semi-endorsed with a wink and a nudge by the inter-college IT people, and was an absolute dream for grabbing pirated movies and TV shows.

* this thankfully excluded a whole bunch of shit including government websites, uni sites, and anything from Google, including YouTube, so it was very possible to stay under. I think it went up to 20 GB in my second year.

That's actually a great use case for it
