has anyone tried it? I just downloaded it and it is a mix of mldonkey and gift, very intuitive bringing together 2 open protocols. I think I may stick with it, as it returns results from edonkey, fasttrack, gnutella2 (dlls in folder), opennap (dlls again) and perhaps bittorrent, becase the bittorrent is in the mldonkey folder. Seems alright, and I hope it keeps the simple interface rather than change into resource-hog shareaza-like skin and such.

i dont know about mixing all these programs together.. What happens when riaa and others flood one network.. all that garbage gets tangled to other networks. I think the idea is that all these p2p programs use too much system resources to have them open, or that alot of these files are spread out to other programs where you have to connect to each one. Its best to not to put all our eggs in one basket.

after first thinking that this client was too big at over 5mb i weakened and downloaded it..i must say that i have been pleasantly surprised...just downloaded a couple of longish mp3`s on satellite and 56k and in both instances it came in fast. with a bit more work i think that we have a good p2p client here..not a bad selection with 2,700,000 on what network i don`t know when i used it. should be alright until sharman sends them a cease and desist notice...

Yes, I'd recommend it. It just combines gift and mldonkey and Im not sure how many networks, but likely edonkey fasttrack and gnutella (at least). If your computer is slow I'd especially recommend it because it doesnt use many resources and has a barebones interface.

Very true, but how else is one supposed to sponge as much as they can from all networks at once, while having even LESS to give back since they are connected to them all at the same time?
