    I can't stress enough how fantastic this software is.



    It really does blow Acquisition and Liberty out of the water.



    The interface is very similar- the ability to choose between metal (bleck!) and aqua is especially nice, given the forced-metalness of Liberty (wtf was the developer thinking?)



    Connections are fast. Very fast. Searches are fast as well. Swarm downloading and 'find more sources' actually WORK!



    The best part is, it doesn't use java. at all. No more 35% CPU usage java process while downloading. It seems to idle at 0%, while searching or downloading, hover in the 2-5% range, and spike to 10-15% momentarily.



    Downloads work beautifully.





    The only qualm I have is the ugly icon - and, frankly, if that's all that can be found wrong with a piece of software...



    To the developers, if you're reading this: keep up the fantastic work.

    I work nights, I'm asleep at 11:30 in the morning so I catch it on Adult Swim at 11:30 at night on my 'break'. hehe



    I can also vouch for the low cpu cycles. 2-3% on my 700 iBook while downloading in the background. 11% or so while I'm searching/selecting my downloads playing w/the interface etc.

    Yeah, damn fast. Looks like Acquisition is going to have to take a back seat to this beast.

    I've used nothing but Acquisition since 0.40 (back when it was called Aquasition).



    No more.



    This is AMAZING! Everything that could be in a P2P app is in there!

    thats not tru this really could use acquistions idea of adding it to iTunes when its done and have the possibility to have it play...although this feature broke for me in the latest versin of acquisition, it was an awesome feature and poisoned needs that....plus the UI isn't my favorite



    but with those petty complaints stated...wowzers this is nice







    ok one more thing...this needs a 'reveal in finder'

    I'm looking for a client that embeds both giFT and mlDonkey, so I can have FastTrack, OpenFT, eDonkey and Gnutella all at once.

    eh no idea...ur weird...honestly thats not cool cuz this is awesome





    i disagree i dont like their UI...seems cluttered to me



    ...if i wanted to get picky i'd ask how those icons for expand/collapse all mean anything related to what it says



    ...also resume icon makes alotmore sense then the brose host icon...it looks more like a refresh host or something...again this software is awesome i'm just being REALLY picky

    Find More Sources is your friend, and in this app it works.



    Of course we're getting successfull downloads.

    Ok now im getting some results but at very slow speeds... Find more sources does not seem do jack actually lol Im sorry if i offended anyone by saying that but it just does not help any at all. I don't see how this app is praised so much ... Ok it appears to d/l family guy well but not much usefull for a whole other veriety of files lol What other files have all you guys downloaded that are useful to you? Oh yeah and don't mock me ast3r3x ...

    Same problem here. I've only been able to get a 20k text file. Nothing else is downloading. A lot of connections are being "rejected" according to the download log. What's that about?

    I would love to use Poison but the damn thing doesnt work when I install FINK! Some kind of mess up I guess.

    I download cartoons/movie/pron/music, and all successful.



    400+ k/sec combined.

    Don't download off of gnutella, make sure you're grabbing from the fasttrack/gift/openft networks. Gnutella sucks in poisoned for all the same reasons gnutella sucks as a p2p network.
