Hotline clients allow a connection between user and server. They essentially provide the user with an experience, allowing them to view files and folders on the server, read the news BBS, chat and communicate with the community.
Because hotline was originally intended as a chatting p2p client, most people focused on one or the other. Hotline is a good place to find files, however it also houses a fairly large chat community, and allows you to communicate with other users. Since hotline came prior to Facebook, torrents, and the Gnutella network, it truely was remarkable for its time. It still exists, and you can feel free to download one of the clients below and see for yourself.

Under development
Many hotline users have decided over time to develop their own clones, serving particular purposes that are not available in other clients or featuring a personalized user interface. These are the clients that are being actively developed by the Hotline community:
iHotline , written in Obj-C from scratch, for iPhone 3G iOS 4.x or later. Only basic chat capabilities but pretty advanced for a mobile client. Demo video (of 1.0 version).
Obsession, open source and written in Qt, for Windows and macOS users. Latest update: August 2020.
XCC pr2.5b, -Direct Download. Test version, please report any bugs. XCC is (for now) a Mac client aimed at end users and server admins. This beta includes full AppleScript support, allowing the client to be used as a customised bot.(Edited download link to Tagban's host to avoid overloading servers of Creator)
Pitbull Pro 3, -Remake of the Original Mac version, coded by UberFoX. It is currently still in Beta but can handle files over 4 GB when connected to server that handles it such as Pitbull Server (also made by UberFoX and available from the Servers page on wiki) also Pitbull features 256bit-AES with 4096-BIT RSA encryption
Javaline Client -- A multiplatform client that runs on Mac, Windows, Unix coded in Java being made by UberFoX
