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.

    And of course, eXeem will be used exclusively for the mass distribution of Free, Open Source, GNU, and GPL'd software.

    It's nice to see that the taking down of sites and services such as napster and suprnova has stopped piracy in it's tracks!

    Reader b374 points out that Linux users can run Notepad using Wine too... (let's see how fast someone points out that it should be GNU/Linux :) )

    Slashdotted for me :( Anyone got a .torrent of the file?

    Too bad that the exeem site is so graphics heavy, they should have put up the text only version for slashdot :)

    Does the adware they install run under wine too?

    How well does it protect the person sharing or seeding the file?

    It doesn't. But fortunately it is irrelevant for us, for we only use torrent to download Knoppix ISOs and Linux kernels in the first place, right?

    ON'T-DAY ENTIONMAY IRATEPAY BAYAY! Now repeat after me: "With Suprnova gone I don't even know where to go to get my .torrent files. I can't seem to find them after the **AA shut down all my favorite copyright-infringing sites. Instead of downloading Elektra and Ashlee Simpson's new album, I purchased them from a retail store at the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Thank you MPAA and RIAA for making the world a better place. You can rest easy knowing you've stopped piracy forever."
