LUPEMORENO  This has been a really terrific program for a long time now.

I just recently updated to 10.5.6 and it becomes unresponsive after a few minutes of operation. Not sure what the problem is, but I look forward to the next version.

If you are not using10.5.6, this is a really great program for finding and downloading files. Well worth the money.

THREEDEE912  You do know this hasn't been updated in over a year?

Because Xtorrent is based on the free and open source Transmission BitTorrent client, it generally cannot be updated because the Transmission developers changed the license agreement to prevent other people from profiting off of their work. Such as what Xtorrent was doing.

From the Transmission team: "Portions of the code will be changed to avoid blatant attempts to profit significantly from our work"

But David Watanabe keeps selling this ancient version in the hopes that some ignorant person will come along and give money to him anyway.

LUPEMORENO  Bought it without trying it based on a presence at MacWorld SF 2008. The folks at the booth seemed confident, and so I came home and bought it.

First off, the SmithMicro website which sells the software doesn't support Safari Autofill, so I had to enter all of my information by hand to purchase it initially. Boo hoo. What a drag.

At setup, the registration window doesn't support cut and paste for the registration serial number, nor does it support drag and drop. Very annoying.

The worst part is that the program itself doesn't work at all. I called the phone number on the developers website and got a professional sounding "big office" voicemail routine, but nobody ever answered the phone. I left a message for tech support and they didn't call back.

I wasted my money. Don't make the same mistake I made. If you do choose to use it, make sure you try before you buy. I do hope they eventually are able to make it work, because it's a cool idea, but for now, they are not able to deliver in any way at all.
