Poisoned is a file sharing application for Mac OS X. Poisoned may
look like your average file sharing application at first glance, but it
is so much more. Unlike applications like Limewire or Kazaa that
connect to only one file sharing network, Poisoned can connect to
several seamlessly. Unlike Kazaa and several other file sharing
applications, Poisoned contains no spyware and no adware. In addition,
Poisoned,
is, and always will be, free and open-source software. We also release
our code for other developers to work with. We embrace developer
interaction with our program; we realize that the more people that
contribute to this application, the better it will be. The philosophies
behind the development of Poisoned are much like the file sharing
networks themselves; its all about sharing with the community and
giving back.
Poisoned connects to the FastTrack network (Kazaa, Grokster, iMesh),
the Gnutella network (Limewire, Acquisition), and OpenFT. This is all
made possible by something called the giFT daemon,
the same people behind the OpenFT network. The different networks
supported in our application are actually plugins for giFT. Right now,
network plugins being developed for two high-profile networks:
OpenNapster and eDonkey. This means that in a little while, Poisoned
will support 5 networks within one application, all with a low strain
on your system. Poisoned supports multiple source download, so your
files will download quick and painlessly. Poisoned integrates with
iTunes beautifully, automatically importing into iTunes and deleting
the original file if iTunes manages your music library.
