What is a DLC file?
Files that contain the .dlc file extension are created by the Java application. These files are actually container files that store a variety of downloadable content that has been downloaded to your computer with the JDownloader software. The JDownloader application is used to manage file downloads when a user is downloading a program from the Internet to their hard drive. The contents of these DLC files are usually encrypted.
