Poisoned Usage TipSet sharing, port forwarding - Version: 0.519.1, 6/8/2007 03:22AM PST

Poisoned was a total dog for me for a while, but still got consistent (if not slow) downloads.

Two things help d/l speed (and network connectivity - Ares and OpenFT in particular)

1) Port Forwarding. Set it up in your router / modem, or network preferences in your using OS X's software to connect. You have to look at each protocols settings in the preference pane the find the values (or set ones you prefer).

2) Sharing. Set a folder with a bunch of media (MP3s, Movies, .dmgs) on the top level and top level only, add this as one of your shared directories. It'll take a whole to catalouge, but connecting to all the networks and some download speeds (and d/l reliability) will improve.

Now, if the developer can fix the OpenFT engine's occasional total-utter-crashes and the odd RWoD (Rainbow Wheel of Death) that results in a force quit and a preference purge then this'd be a pretty sweet, free, alpha release. And maybe that universal thing as well.

...but it still needs work. The developer was away for over a year. It needs to be updated to a Universal Binary.

What used to bo a very nice application in previous versiones has become the most useless piece of software I've in a long time. It constantly crashes, can't connect and doesn't find much. It's only a PPC, not an Intel and very soon will become obsolete if they don't release a Universal Binary update.
