It may very well bring Kazaa, Gnutella and OpenFT all together and onto the Mac, but it's also messy and disorganised and not really all the way there yet. Acquisition is better at the moment...

Please stay on-topic, informative and polite. I reserve the right to remove comments for whatever vague capricious reasons seem reasonable at the time.
XFactor has a lot of potential, but it unfortunately is going to go down the drain, methinks. The people in charge seem unwilling to listen to any ideas, and instead focus on adding stupid things like the Web Browser and IRC Chat. It's several of the same people who previously worked on Poisoned, another OS X multi-network p2p, which suffered from the same problem.
