AIKOUSHA I can't take any application seriously that is EXPIREWARE! The program dies and does nothing but says it's expired after a certain date (without contacting home to determine if there is really a new version). This means that if the program actually works and is useful, one day, if the programmer passes or can no longer work on it, it will just no longer be there. I experienced this with lots of software from 1995 to about 2002. Companies thought they were all smart trying to protect their media, but when the websites and companies died, the software did too. Not Smart, not nice.

AUSTIN Is there spyware in this app? I ask because I installed it last night, and this morning, Little Snitch informed me that an application, 'mlnet' was trying to make connections to several sites - WHILE iSwipe WAS OFF! (I quit last nigh before I went to bed). 'mlnet' is found in Library/Application Support/iSwipe/MLDonkey This is a question asked with no malice - I just want to know. can anybody enlighten me?

MIKE The mlnet daemon is not spyware. It connects to one of the file sharing networks (mldonkey or whatever) and it continues to share and downlaod files. The developer of iSwipe decided it was better to leave these running, for the benefit if users on the network. Other developers, like the guy(s) who made mlmac, are aware that this can cause paranoia in you, or performance issues on your Mac, and they give the option to quit them when thier program is quit. There are others left running by iSwipe besides mlnet. They go away when you reboot. It is because lots of these file sharing apps are just front end graphical user inerfaces for the same engines that run as daemons (in the backround) which were created by the open source community for all of our mutual benefit. It gets a bit confusing becuase of all the people involved but www.mac-p2p.com is a helpful site to figure out this stuff. I imagine if there was spyware on a mac app, the Mac commuity would be up in arms and it would not last long.

ANONYMOUS So, you've never tried any other softs of this kind? If you had, you'd know this is the worst of the lot, hands down.

ANONYMOUS This seems like a promising programme but I can't test it out properly. I got a wierd GUI problem. It's hard to explain but the GUI is out of sync with the dynamic text box areas. If you know what i mean. I can't click into the search box, I have to click somewhere down and to the left. Which makes it extremly hard to control what is going on.

SOBIE I got major crashes and hard disk problems when deleting uncomplete files from the download list. I reported this to the developer but never got answer, or any idea if this is going to fixed somehow, rather too risky to use for now.

NATHAN Search your hard drive by typing in the name of the files you've downloaded..I had the same problems losing dozens of files but did finally locate them..Another suggestion is to set up in Window>Preferences and select the folder you wish to send files. I've set up a folder to have all files sent to and then exported to itunes manually.
