I'm not familiar with the concept and I'm sure it isn't mentioned very openly where you download this client. Anyone know more about "spyware" and/or this client?
I d/l'd the "gnotella" client from this site, I use this for sharing mp3, .wav (samples, not songs) and occasionally apps - does anyone recommend a better client for a wintell box? |
Yes, iMesh uses spyware. Read
