I don't know if it would have any success to report the site via Firefox's report web forgery for this site as impersonating a piece of software, but I submitted it
Perhaps others could try and google will take some action.

dcplusplus.net is also forgery, redirects to the same website. It seems that somebody wants to take advantage of the good name of DC++ for unknown malevolent purposes.
