DC++ compression technique

What compression technique does DC++ use for data itself.
I try to understand (and then explain to the hub users) how fake files transfer themselves over the maximum line speed.
Thx

gzip for file transfers.

If you're just trying to explain about fake files, why do you need to know the specific compression technique? Can't you just tell them that DC++ compresses the transfer and leave it at that?

If you really want to know how it works, though, read these RFCs:
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1950.html - ZLIB format (the "safe" part)
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1951.html - DEFLATE compression algorithm (the "compressed" part)
