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:
http://www.haxial.com/appearance/

What's new in this version:

Supports the new features in TrackerServ 0.908 -- changing the groups and registering trackers with trackers. See the TrackerServ version history for more information. To access the new settings, connect to a tracker, then click the Window Menu button, then click "TrackerServ Settings/Admin".
Important: Every server should be registered with every tracker, so that if a tracker goes down, the server can still be found, and also to distribute the burden of hosting a tracker between multiple trackers, instead of lumping it all on one or two main trackers.
KDX Server is not updated this time, only KDX Client and KDX TrackerServ.
Added "More..." command to the bottom of the built-in menu of appearances, which launches http://www.haxial.com/appearance/ to make it more obvious that there are more choices than appear in the menu by default.
In Connection Monitor, reversed sort order for Size, Speed and ETR columns to put dashed items to the bottom of the list (thanks Dan).
In Connection Monitor, fixed problem where the scroll position would jump to the top every time it auto-refreshed (thanks Dan).
In Connection Monitor, totals now include total speeds (thanks Josh).
In Address Book, added "Show Connection Monitor" tick for automatically showing the Connection Monitor window when connecting to that server (thanks Jordan).
When adding to the file transfers window, scroll to bottom.
Fixed problem where if the currently-selected user in the Messages window disconnected, the Messages window didn't update to reflect that fact. Now it changes to "UserName @ ServerName (disconnected)".
Fixed bug where it failed if you tried to download a folder containing a folder with a name that contained characters illegal for the local OS.

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.
