Wired Client overview
Wired Client is an open, modern and free version of the BBS-style client/server system, providing chat, messaging and file transfers. Wired Client is a native Mac OS X client written using Apple's Cocoa. It features full support and compatibility with the Wired protocol and the Wired server, with an interface that is as ingenious as it is easy to use.

- Multi-connections With Wired Client you can get connected to several servers simultaneously using a friendly user interface. Events and notifications take care of inform you about what is going on.

Version: 1.3.4
Zankas website is already off. His tracker is running again. But we don´t know how long and if zanka decides to bring his website online again. But where to Download the Client and Server now?
I wrote a Mail to zanka and ask him if I can host his Wired-Wiles on my Wired-Project-Page. If he send me an OK the Files will be shortly available here:
http://wired.zapto.org
I backuped all files he had on his page (for example the tracker-sources). Lets hope he says: Yes.

Version: 1.3.4
Actually all webpages and the official Zankasoftware tracker are down. Since there has not been any development for months, I believe this software is dead!
Or does anyone still have a working tracker?

There's an easter egg if you hold down Option and choose About Wired Client...

Version: 1.3.1
Great tool. And I do appreciate the French localisation much (English, French, German and Japanese are available). The only things I would miss here, a way to access to the server log from the client, as well as indexing/ restarting the Wired-Server (Administrator only, of course).
Anyway, this is definitively perfect for my purpose: exchange project-related files & messages with colleagues/ other freelancers overseas and while I am on the road (For example, you can hardly send a 150MB file per eMail that easily, and you do save time not having to explain anyone how to...)
Many thanks Zanka Software, again, keep up the good job :-)

Version: 1.3.1
Well, this is simply the best, getting better with every release.
Tightly integrated into OS X , with all the services you can get with it, since it is Cocoa (services like spellchecking, dictionary, etc. Well designed interface. I like it's focus on chat and communication. And now it is even localized!
Try to get this with kdx. And - answering the last post? When did KDX get it's last update? I have long forgotten that. Haxial is charging you anyway for it. Wired is open source. Go figure…

Version: 1.2.6
wow this is really great s/w and opensource too!! Missing some features compared to kdx.. esp for admins! But i'm looking forward to newer releases! :)

Absolutely lovely protocol creation. Very fast and secure transfers are a real plus. This is very useful for storing backups.

Wired is open-source, so nothing prevents someone to make a Windows client.
I just think that Morris won't do it.
Just do it yourself.

Version: 1.2.6
In response to the opinion that a windows version will ruin the communities, I have two things to say about that.
One, if some board operators feel this way, release the Wired clients with OS tagging and a toggle in the server software to allow or disallow clients running on Windows. End of problem.
Two, if I'm running a server and I want all the people I know to be able to use it, I have to be able to offer connection from at least Mac and Windows, if not Linux and BSD as well.

great app I really enjoy it keep up the good work =)

One word of advice, even if people ask for a windows version, don't make it. The only reason carracho has still the best community eventhough it is buggy is that is is mac only. Windows versions killed hotline in the past, and are killing KDX softly. Mac is the only way to go. It is an open, friendly, helpful mentality thing windows users seem to lack.

Version: 1.2.2
Very cool. It's clean and solid.
Two things that would be nice for wider use though:
1. Windows Client
2. Isolated user file folders
