eXeem: Not so hot
eXeem is a victim of its own success. The new p2p client from former bittorrent site Suprnova.org has gone under the ax, leaving a conspicuous warning message on all its beta clients:
Network status: We are experiencing problems with the network! We are working on the problem and will solve it soon.
This has been there for several days now. Meanwhile, an update on January 23rd reads:
eXeem’s network has been experiencing some problems, which is causing users to not be able to receive Nodes from the network. We are working on the bug and will if necessary release an update of the program.
With 120,460 downloads this week, it’s my guess that they just don’t have enough server power and bandwidth to support it right now, and need to work on decentralizing the application as much as possible. And, while a number of people have mentioned eXeem in their blogs, nobody really seems that excited about it!

eMule still rulez!
In my eyes, eXeem is nothing more than an ed2k wannabe, only with spyware. It is not a program centralized around bittorrent, but rather a “similar” protocol, with functionality much ressembling that of ed2k. Furthermore, it isn’t decentralized.
So really, its yet another P2P App out there. The spyware just takes away any will to even try it (despite the fact that a crapware free “eXeem lite” has just been released).
