It's been out for a while: Ursula will remember this thread http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=24067

I tried a few weeks ago. Pretty smooth Aqua-like interface (much like Acquisition, Safari and Mail); easy to set up (instructions on the forum were clear).

But, most of my results were coming from gnutella--LW in particular. I tried several tests: LW on one machine, Poisoned on the other, and ran several searches at the same time. LW often found more results and consistently downloaded more, I recall. This wasn't a fair test as I have far more uptime and experience with LW, but after a day or so I didn't see enough to justify keeping it. I was impressed that it's an opensource project, but as far as I could tell, the gnutella core (LW? GTK?) was several versions behind. the giFT module gave results, but not many successful downloads.

So, I tentatively saw that it primarily relies on gnutella; LW is where the development is, and if the giFT plugin turns out to be legitimate, LW will add it.

Need more? I could try again this week and see how much has changed, and try to be a bit more exact.

Hey--does this mean you got a Mac Backmann? If so, welcome to the currently virus free world.

Peerless--glad to hear from you again.

oops---didn't see you posted first et voilà. Do you know where they get their gnutella plugin?
