They already have a .net domain name: http://www.exlite.net/

eXeem is a piece of shit. Not only that it will have adaware and spyware, it is also a "lock-in". You will only be able to use it on SuprNova. They have modified the torrent file. It is missing a lot of dictionaries ("key -> value"), and dictionaries that should have been subdictionaries start directly in the file. For example "files" is not in "info" it starts with it directly. This torrent changes were unnecessary. Also, the "announce" and "announce-list" are missing. eXeem has a hardcoded url of a tracker of all the peers on eXeem. The original seeder of a torrent acts as a tracker (so SuprNova won't have to host torrents), but eXeem is in no way decentralized because of the tracker that keeps in contact all the eXeem users (it does not care about torrents, just eXeem users). So, all you have to do is to kill the main server, and all the users of exeem will be disconnected (this happened when suprnova died). THIS IS WORSE THAN THE WAY TORRENTS ACT NOW. EXEEM IS HYPE AND A WAY TO MAKE MONEY. IT SUCKS! I think the best way to decentralized BitTorrent, is to have trackers that are decentralized IRC server style. If you people want something decentralized and a little bit of BitTorrent, get G2 (Gnutella2) and add BitTorrent's tit-for-tat to it.

=/ wonder if thats true because if it is then

I didn't find any problems yet in the normal 0.20 verison .. 
but I know it allready had 25.000 users while it had only 3000 yesterday or something so it's gorwing fast..

and what about the spyware adaware en money talk ??
I can't see anything bad or am I blind ??

What does this software do?

It installs Gator, an adware program, that shows extra popups and advertisements. Try running ad-aware and you'll see: Download Ad-Aware

I installed it, just like so many other people and you're the first I hear saying it installs Gator. I only heard and saw about Cydoor.

it shouldn't install gator

it uses a modified version of cydoor to display its adverts, its not a bad client tbh loads quite fast and stuff.

I don't see why people bad mouth it sooo much it has some cool unsigned bands stuff if you look hard enough

also the whole organising  into sections is a good idea, new files is also a good idea.

it doesnt come with any adware.. thats lie my computa is clean.

eXeem is the best program! i love it! fast downloads lots of files! its like suprnova.org + the goodness of searching the network! comment system is good
and already alot of users, albeit really really buggy! but once the stability improves i recommend everyone to get it! pft who cares if it shows ads.

EDIT: it does include Cydoor (M$ antispyware found it) but i don't think its intrusive spyware at all, all it does is occasionally download ads and display them in the corner of the GUI in eXeem only when its open. This is a great program the programmers do need some income to continue developing it! Its notihng like kazza's crap
