Poisoned 0.3 (p2p client)
Well, it's out. And it's sweet. Stomps all over liberty, aqui, mlmac, and the rest... fast. reliable. stable.

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.
No more.
This is AMAZING! Everything that could be in a P2P app is in there!
Barto
but with those petty complaints stated...wowzers this is nice
ok one more thing...this needs a 'reveal in finder'

mlnet does this.

Am i doing something wrong here because i sure hope so otherwise this is a steaming pile of dog**** lol I mean it has a better UI then Acq. but can't d/l anything! It has a lot of files shown but can d/l NOTHING...
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.

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?
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.
