Product Description:

Drumbeat X2 is a completely new version of our popular Drumbeat P2P application. Now with Deep Search™, Drumbeat is able to find more search results than any other file-sharing application....period.

What's new in this version:

Drumbeat Version 2.0.1 is a minor interim release solely to address an issue involving incorrect server interactions.

New in Version 2.0

Deep Search. Groundlevel is extremely excited to introduce a completely new concept in File-Sharing: Deep Search scans deeper levels of online Users' Shared Folders than ever before, retrieving an increase of more than 250% over our already Record-Breaking Drumbeat 165. In test results, Deep Search has so far achieved more than 25,000 results for popular search phrases. That's more than 5 times the search results of any currently available application, Mac or PC. We think that ROCKS!!
Localized Versions. Drumbeat is now available in Ten Languages. French, Italian, Germen, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Portuguese, Korean and English. (Please see our download page for all localized versions).
Blowfish DES Encryption For All Drumbeat Files. All Files exchanged between Drumbeat Users will now be fully Encrypted before leaving the User's Hard Drive, and will be Unencrypted only after having arrived at the requesting user's HD, for full protection of all traffic between Drumbeat Users. Encrypted files are Unencrypted at the User's HD on-the-fly, so files will still be able to be Previewed while downloading. Encrypted files will show in Green in the Search Results window.
Find-As-You-Type Filtering. How do you find your way through 25,000 results? Just start typing! DB now automatically filters all your search results, continually narrowing your search down to exactly the files you want. Find what you're looking for, and then filter again. Once a wide search is performed you can continuoully narrow the search without ever having to repeat the search again.
Full-Featured Favorites List. The ability Add/Remove Favorite Users, more quickly see which Favorite Users are On/Offline, ignore certain Users from future incoming Chat messages, and Drumbeat now retains a full History of User interactions for the current session.
Auto-Browse. When a User is selected in the Favorites Window and the Browse Button is clicked, Drumbeat will automatically attempt a Direct Browse of the User's files. If this service is unavailable in the User's client software, DB will then attempt a Server Browse for each of the Networks to which the User is currently connected until there is a successful Browse.
CPU and Bandwidth Throttles. Users can now control how much of their CPU time is devoted to Drumbeat, and the amount of Bandwidth Drumbeat uses for Uploads and Downloads. Users may also select how much priority Drumbeat gives to the speed at which Server Connections are attempted, and to the Buffer Size of all Socket Connections. (Some features OS X Only).
Manual Upload Control. Control-Click the User's name in the Upload Queue Favorites List and select Show Uploads. The User's list of queued files will be shown in the Tasks List. Control-Click any of that User's files in the Tasks List and select Manual Upload. This will send the file to the head of the Queue and start the Upload as soon as the remote Client next sends a request for the file.
Faster and more sophisticated Network Switch. When the connection to a User or Server for a file being downloaded is lost, DB now quickly searches for that User (if they are found on another Network) and re-establishes the connection, in most cases, before your place in Queue is lost. If they are not immediately found, DB will continue searching for them until they are either found or the Task is cancelled.
Quick-Share New Files/Folders. You can now immediately share any file/folder on your hard drive by adding that files or folder to your Downloads Folder. To use this feature, select Add Shared Files... from the File Menu.
Full Resume for Downloading Files.
Change Mac FileType, Creator and File Extension for incoming files while in progress.
Save Partial Files for later resume.
Replaced Napigator Services (now defunct) with new Statistics Servers.
Ability to find and use .wsx Server Lists from WinMX Users.
Many bug fixes, including several problems with registration codes coming up as invalid or duplicate codes, and reports of low server counts have now been corrected.
