You're right, the download page information should be updated as well.
Thanks for the warning.

However, you may want to read the link above where we clearly state that
we DON'T WANT to support Windows 2000 because of the reasons written
there. You are free to modify and compile DC++ to your needs anytime or
try the unofficial buids at http://builds.adcportal.com. If its a mingw
platform issue, you may get more luck with MSVC builds.

And please do not alter the Status of our bug reports. Thanks.

Status in DC++: Won't Fix

Bug description:
On launching dcplusplus ver 0.77 on a windows 2000 machine, a window with the following error message shows: "the procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL"

>From some search on this error message, it seems that there is some small change from Windows 2000 to XP: it's just a matter of some small modification in the source files and a rebuild of the code to restore support for Windows 2000.
