KCeasy, once considered an important FastTrack alternative, has shaken off this image as its flexibility has allowed it to adapt to other networks. In addition to Gnutella and OpenFT support, KCeasy will support the Ares P2P network. The Ares plug-in is in public beta testing, however does not accompany the current KCeasy version.
KCeasy is a Windows front client for giFT. giFT is a modular daemon that accepts various network plug-ins (such as Gnutella, OpenFT and now Ares.) For those unfamiliar with what a modular daemon is, simplistically it is a program that runs in the background and performs certain tasks (in this case, connects to various P2P networks.) KCeasy acts as the graphical interface.
In the past, KCeasy was accompanied with the FastTrack plug-in. However, Sharman Networks issued a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) to KCeasy, requesting the plug-in be removed from the release. The plug-in still exists for those who feel compelled to traverse this network.
