Product Description:

KDX is a "BBS"-style (Bulletin Board System) encrypted internet communications system that provides file transfer, chat, messaging, news, trackers etc. It uses strong encryption to protect your communications for security and privacy. It is very useful for groups that need to collaborate on a project via the internet. It uses a client/server model. IMPORTANT: This is a BETA (work in progress) version, so not everything is finished.

NOTE: The appearance of KDX is completely customizable. For more information, see:

What's new in this version:

Back To The Fewer, Part III. The 1 chat window now displays chats from multiple servers, with buttons across the top to switch between chats, and WonderLights™ to indicate chats that have activity. Second-click the buttons for commands.
Multiple permanent chat "rooms" can now be created, each with access control.
If you're the kind of jolly masochist who enjoys having hundreds of overlapping windows, don't worry, chats can still be displayed in separate windows using the context menu.
As requested many times, better support for group voice chats. Text chats which have the "Voice Chat" option ticked in their settings become voice-enabled chats, meaning if you join that chat, KDX will automatically try to DCC connect you to everyone else in the chat, and add them to your Voice Controls window.
Added "Interview Mode" option to chats. If enabled, then join, leave, disconnect, and name change messages will not be shown in that chat. Good for special moderated chat events.
Replaced the font menus in Settings with a nicer Font Chooser window including preview. Also the "Mjolnir" font in the Fonts collection on the website is updated with a new size, check it out.
MacOS Only: Get Info on a file/folder to change its color/label. These colors can be changed using AppearanceEdit. The Windoze file system does not have the ability to store a color/label number, however Windoze clients can see/edit the colors on a Mac server.
Added hotkeys for Files (F), Chat (H), News (N), User List (U).

Any chance we can get an updated version with full Leopard support ?
TIA ;)

KDX 1.6 is horrible - Version: 1.600, 9/4/2007 02:27PM PST

What a horrible pos this is. First it asks me to allow it to configure the settings to conform with my router. It fails and tells me to do this myself. I cannot do this as I can't locate the preferences/settings/options anywhere. Is this a hidden feature??
It won't connect to the kdx server, much less anywhere else. This is a horribly designed interface that wants to immitate Hotline but is even worse. Frankly I can't see how anyone can possibly see any use in this poorly designed app. I'm sticking to HL and Wired. Screw this.

Under development? - Version: 1.600, 10/8/2006 02:43PM PST

Is this software even under development anymore? It hasn't been updated in 2 years...

It'd be nice to at least see a Universal build if it's going to stay payware.
