anyone else using exeem? it's pretty cool and it's based off of bittorrent technology. i highly recommend it, which doesn't really mean much, but i think everyone should at least check it out. http://exeem.com

btw, if you don't know what the hell i'm talking about, exeem is a p2p program like kazaa, limewire, bearshare, etc... but it's based off of bittorrent so it kicks ass. check it out. http://exeem.com

so? it still rules. i'm using it right now to download a movie and i'm getting great speeds. and i didn't have any trouble finding the file i wanted either, it came right up as soon as i searched.

plus, i'm sure once more people start using it and giving feedback that'll help speed them through the development process.

This was like months ago, exeem has adware so im not using it, plus it doesn't even connect for me! So I think its crap.

Blaming your router and bad port configuration on programs is not good, even if it is Exeem.

What about versions of Exeem with Adware removed?
Are they OK?

ok is a reletive term. it works, it seems to suffer from too many leechers that don't seed what they download til they reach 1:1 ratio and people that release and don't hang around til they're well seeded though

no i don't work for them, i just think that it's a good program. i admit, it's not perfect (beta, duh) and it does have adware (cydoor, blah) but the concept behind it is really good. i've used it to download a few files and i've been seeding all of them, and I havn't had any problems connecting or anything. i share an internet connection with my parents' computer through a wireless adapter/router setup so i have a lot of trouble connecting with things like this but I had no problems at all. i definately think it's worth giving a chance.

you thought wrong
it installs a IE BHO and the "simple banner ads" in exeem, theyre not just simple banner ads, they are 2 full blown web pages loading in the little boxes.

They're full of shockwave flash, cookies, JavaScripts (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=javascript+exploits&btnG=Search), redirects, and iframes (http://www.google.com/search?q=iframe%20exploit&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8)

i thought a "simple banner ad" was suppose to an image, and not webpages full of scripts, tracking cookies, redirects and possible exploits

fortunately theyre hosted by cydoor, so no worries.

i use BIT eXeem though, it's a cleaned version

If you go to their main site, you'll read quite clearly that, though exeem is 'freeware' it is supported by advertising(meaning loaded with adware/spyware), very much like limewire was when first released. Scary to think that they might shove bonzi buddy into exeem one day.

Besides being adware, it was always slow for me. And yes, I had ports set up right. Normal BT it is for me.

I think they meant willingly installing adware, not ad-aware ( i hope ) :blink:

Exeem was meant to be the best of bt and kazaa, it managed neither, bt and kazaa are both still better and I can't see that changing for a long time. :(

I tried exeem lite. didn't like it. i always felt unsatisfied with its search tab or new files tab or whatever it was. It had the same crap for a week.

And when i'm downloading, it gives me crap for stats. I like to look at all the peers/seeders i'm connected to because i like to know how many countries i'm connected to
