[Marie-E]

OK, thanks. I'll look into it.

Can you see the parent dir?

Which browser are you using?

I'm won't bore you all by waxing lyrical about its features. Take a look for yourself:

Some problems that should be looked at

1. Very boring, plain interface. Some may like this, I don't.

2. No advanced features. I guess this may be a good thing for some people.

3. Text in the list (connections) should be replaced by something more descriptive for the average user (ie SOCK_CONNECTED should be replaced with Connected or something )

4. Connections window should tell you what type of client you are connected to... since it supports 0.6 handshake this would be VERY easy to add.

5. Blank message boxes. I have gotten a couple of errors where the message box had no title or message ???

6. When you initiate a search it just adds the term to a listbox. It makes no mention of whether it has even acknowledged the request.

7. No way to stop a search. Granted that you don't really have any control over the hits coming back, there should be a command to stop adding things to the list.

8. If you sort the search list while items are coming in, any new items added are not sorted.

9. Results tab show too little information about a hit. Standard information should be at least filename, size, firewalled host, busy host, host speed. I recommend having those plus host address, client name, file extension and SHA1 hash

10. Apparently no ultrapeer support (unconfirmed, but I couldn't get anything from the handshake other than a User-Agent field). This should be a requirement.

11. Lots of simple text formatting things that should be changed.

12. Bandwidth hog. See 10.

13. The absolute worst problem: Sets itself to automatically startup when you load windows WITHOUT ASKING OR TELLING YOU. There is also no way (that I can tell) to turn it off without manually deleting it. ( Delete it from the Startup folder in the Start Menu ).

Still running some more tests, but I have had it for over a week and already dislike it. But that's just my opinion, try it for yourself

About the only good thing I see with this client is the charts which are a little better than most, although it is just a commercial control.

Anyone know how to pronounce the name?

Beatle, you've got a very nice and extensive network monitor! Great for debugging other clients - very cool!

With IE6 its working...

Kevin,
Maybe *Keer Peer*?

I disagree with you. Have you tried it? If not, stop bashing, and don

Hello!

I cannot see any of the screenshots because the links to the pictures have been broken but my impression/stomach feeling of it is that it is just a new junk client.

[Mr.RetroStar]

I dont agree with you : it is not faster than other peer to peer. It is not better also.

The only things interesting is that it is a good debugging tool for developpers. Thanks for this new "gdb".
