I have not written a review for a product before. In this case I felt like I had to.
This software is all managed via a web portal to the App.
They install an alias to this software to your desktop to stop the server.
Very poor interface.
I have never had such a bad experience with a software company as I have with this. Usually I can just uninstall the product and say... That just did not fit my needs.
In this case the software is all a service so it is not easy to uninstall. After searching their forums they talk about running an uninstall to fix problems... but they never say how to.
I also noticed that after the services were running for about an hour they maxed out my machine. The process was taking 100% of my CPU and the Fans were going Crazy. I am running 10.7.1 so it could be that they just have not updated to LION yet.
In the end... Do not use this.

Twonky Media is not very easy to use (compared with the other tow) an still costs 29,95$. MediaLink's only 20$). Twonky has many features indeed, but no full integration in iLife (except iTunes). Also starting up or spting the server is very fishy and far from user friendly.
Allthough it's a good Media Center software but there are better and cheaper solutions on the sofware market. In my oppinion Twonky must be freeware.

Or that is what the marketing says at least.

Installation and configuration is relatively easy. Knowing that that default port is 9000 can help with that.
The previous version, 4.4.2 installed in /Library/StartupItems/MediaServer and /usr/local/mediaserver. Version 4.4.4 changes this and installs in /Applications (show package contents on the app to see the guts and .ini file). However, the current package installer warns of a newer version on my system and then fails the installation. Dragging the installer to unpkg (also available on MacUpdate), easily extracts the application for a manual install. Make sure you terminate any previous version and remove it before running the new app. Save your old ini file so you can copy settings and your registration number.
