Topic: Any Exeem beta testers here?

Hello, my mushy friend...

Just curious on how well it works

For those who don't know what Exeem is... read below.

Just weeks after legal attacks crippled the popular BitTorrent file-swapping community, an underground programmer from its ranks has stepped forward to announce new software designed to withstand future onslaughts from Hollywood.

Dubbed Exeem, the software has already been distributed in a closed beta, or early test format, by the creators of the SuprNova.org Web site, which was until late last month the most popular hub for the BitTorrent file-swapping community.

Last week, the head of that now-defunct site, a man known as "Sloncek," officially announced the Exeem project in an interview on the NovaStream Webcasting network. He said that it would be a modified version of the popular BitTorrent technology, but transformed into a decentralized, searchable network similar to Kazaa or eDonkey.

Reports from some beta testers are now beginning to come in, as the private testing nears its end. "The system seems to work pretty well," said Simon Bauman, who operates the Mitosis.com Web site and has tried the software for several weeks. "It seems faster than other peer-to-peer programs right now, but with only 5,000 people, it's hard to really gauge it."

Official confirmation of the Exeem program, released at a time when BitTorrent Web sites are under aggressive legal attack from Hollywood, raises the potential of mass migration for the millions of people around the world who have grown accustomed to using the technology to download movies, TV shows, music and software...

I played around with it then uninstalled it mainly due to it containing spyware. I also noticed it has some really bad system freeze issues. IHMO, stick to regular bittorrent.

Exeem is spyware crap and Sloncek is a sellout whore for Cydoor that abused the good will of others who wanted to help the P2P community. Suprnova closed down because Sloncek wanted to promote Exeem, not because it was taken down. Better off not promoting this, as its only a step back for the P2P community.

If you must use Exeem though, use Exeem Lite (though the page seems to be down right now). Better off with BT though.
