Exeem Open Beta Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the download-it-with-kazaa dept.

BrasOnMyGuitar writes "The file sharing application known as eXeem (made by the creators of the now-defunct file-sharing site SuprNova.org) has gone into public beta. The program is based on the BitTorrent protocol. However, it eliminates the need for trackers and decentralizes the user from the network. This allows for Kazaa-style searching with the speeds and benefits of the BitTorrent protocol." Reader Eeknay points out that Linux users can run it too.

  1. Safe and sane P2P client... by __aaclcg7560 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Is this the safe and sane version of bit torrent? Or do I have to worry about 1) being infected by virus, malware and God knows what else, and 2) will the record industry's Nazis come kicking down my door for downloading Linux-related files?

    I just scrubbed my roommates' computers that was loaded to the brim with virus and malware from using P2P when they download music files (so they claim) with various P2P clients. I like bit torrent although I think using FTP would be a lot faster sometimes.
