Downloading files instead of paying the creator for said content almost created a movement of sorts, with people boycotting expensive DVDs and music albums in favor of P2P downloads.
That alone should have acted as a deterrent, but for the millions of people that used LimeWire, Kazaa, eMule, and other such programs, it wasn't - mainly because it was difficult to detect and wasn't really pursued unless it was being done in massive quantities. In many countries, downloading and/or uploading pirated content was (and still is) against the law. As a result, P2P programs have had a quite bad rep, and with good reason, too. That was the response of the outraged music and movie industry that lost millions of dollars due to illegal file sharing. Some of us may remember the iconic "you wouldn't download a car" commercial that played prior to movies and shows found on DVD or in the cinema. However, the death of many of these networks has effectively sealed the death of Poisoned too, until the developer finds a way around this problem.The early 2000s saw the advent of peer-to-peer (P2P) programs and file sharing.
When it works, Poisoned is widely praised by users for its ability to connect to several networks.
The good news is though, that the developer has promised to dump giFT and find another network instead. Any network not encrypted will basically be rendered useless with most of the network filled with half transfered files." Because Poisoned relies on giFT, it is not encrypted and therefore affected by these problems. There is a program called Sandvine right now used by ISPs to terminate unencrypted network traffic from Peer-to-peer applications. Gnutella is the only network that seems to work. Unfortunately, the death of many major file sharing networks means that Poisoned has died with it.Īs the developer points out, "Kazaa and Fasttrack are gone. That is, however, if you can get it to download anything of course. I also like the way that Poisoned offers integration with iTunes by automatically importing music as it downloads. Poisoned supports multiple source downloads, so your files will download quickly and painlessly.
