| eXeem clone, dead ahead The bittorrent network as we know it is collapsing around us.
All I see Morpheus adding is an exeem clone. nothing more, nothing less. (well, maybe more spyware, who knows)
What we need is a torrent search program that is decentralized and offers encryption. I dont need it to download the files. That's why I have Azureus... | |

The BT protocol as a means of distributing files one doesn't have the right to distribute (and therefore as a means of obtaining said files irregardless of your right to possess them) may be collapsing (the protocol wasn't designed to be anonymous or covert in any way), however BT as a means of distributing legal files is thriving and I suspect will continue to do so for quite some time as Bittorrent, unlike other methods, has proven it's legitimacy.

Yes, that's what I meant. The means of illegal distribution is collapsing. I'd say that 90% of all bittorrent traffic was illegal.
But do you really think they designed morpheus/exeem for the distribution of legal files?
once everyone discovered how great BT was for downloads, pirates capitalized on it. | |

The owners of illegal websites are willing to sell the server logs to the *AAs along with the source code. eXeem(which was developed from SuprNova) and Morpheus will probably do the same if they get enough money. | |

Adware and Spyware are the same thing except that Adware does not hide or attempt to trick you into installing it, spyware tries to install covertly.
That's a big difference as one lets you decide what you want to do, the other attempts to deny you the choice. However there is so much confusion, and so many out there who think everything should be totally free; that adware has gotten an undeserved bad reputation.

| Re: Morpheus I think the problem though, is so many software distros label themselves as Adware, and Spyware-free...but then the included Adware is just as bad as any malware out in the open.
Maybe if Adware really had to mmean that it is simply ad-supported-software, people wouldn't be so quick to pool it into the same realm as crapware. | |

| Re: Morpheus Adware, if done properly, would be only ads that are
displayed within the window of a program supported by
it, and nowhere else. That means no popups, no tracking
outside the program itself, no browser hijacks, context
ads (ala eZula & other thiefware), or unwanted toolbars.
Morpheus appears to be in violation of the last two of
these, but at least it doesn't try to hide them (the
toolbar and the other adware in it are easily removeable
via Add/Remove Programs).

First of all adware doesn't "install" on your computer, that is spyware that installs. Spyware came with it at first, but I disconnected off the internet, ran my spyware scans, looked in all the program files and deleted all the spyware. I have absolutely no spyware on my computer and I am currently using morpheus. There is at least 3 banner ads with some pop up ads, but I have a pop up blocker, so guess what, I am riding just as good as anyone that bought the morpheus ultra software. Only thing I really have is banner ads like you would get on a website.

| The adware is not the only problem with Morpheus Trying to connect to too many networks at once with this
program (version 4.7) is another. It connects to G2 & G1
Gnutella networks, eDonkey, BitTorrent, Neonet and
Fasttrack. A p2p client works best in its own network,
according to one user review at download.com. If a user
connects to all of them, it really eats up system resources.
It also seems to have a problem with its implementation of
the GnucDNA G2 (Gnutella) protocol. A few user reviews over
at download.com indicate they have been unable to download
anything with this program.

| Investigate Prior to Contempt There are so many inaccuracies in many of these threads, so let's take it from the top (sorry for the length--but if you want to know what's going on, here are the details-if not, then just don't read any further):
1) EXEEM CLONE- NOT. Morpheus provides a decentralized way for users to search for torrents. Unlike Exeem, Morpheus searches existing torrents. You can also download multiple torrents simultaneously. Not only can you download .torrent files, search results include up-to-date seeder and leech counts. This is real time whereas websites that host torrent files sometimes have out-of-date info and broken links. Also, since Morpheus is 100% decentralized, users never "log onto a central website" where logs are maintained and a users presence can be established, such as LokiTorrent.
2) ADWARE- NOT. The free version of Morpheus is AD-SUPPORTED, but it does not include adware software code. Morpheus displays banner ads, just like 98% of every internet website in existence. Morpheus has elected not to include adware software (but does include two bundles—see below) with the program. Morpheus killed pop-up ads months ago. BTW, Google and Overture serve up contextual ads to you whenever you visit a website that is partnered with them--which include most websites and certainly all the popular ones--and no one labels these sites as "adware or spyware" laden.
3) SPYWARE - ? The free version of Morpheus is supported by advertising and 3rd party bundle revenues. There are currently two bundle partners whose software is distributed with Morpheus. These two bundles can be easily removed by going to your WINDOWS>CONTROL PANEL>ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Morpheus even includes a Q&A for those users not familiar with this feature. You don't need a spyware removal program to remove the two (and there are only two) bundles + Morpheus runs with or without the bundles. Also, Morpheus does not allow spyware to be part of the bundles and its partners alter their regular software to adhere to Morpheus policy. But everyone has a different def of Spyware - we believe that if a program does not report back specific user identifiable info to a central source, then it is not spyware...but since others will argue, that is why I've attached the "?" to the above. BTW, the current 4.7 has NO bundles whatsoever--but this will only be for a short time - so reports here about "spyware" in 4.7 are erroneous and the posters did not bother to even download the software without trying it--just writing a bunch of BS - that's really lame. If you want to blast us, at least try the software first and don't make a bunch of stuff up.
4) GNUTELLA SUCKS - NOT. There has been a tremendous amount of effort put into the Gnutella code by companies such as LimeWire and BearShare, as well as open source developers such as Swabby and his GnucDNA. Gnutella has become a reliable P2P network and has tons of users. Morpheus incorporates all the recent improvements of GnucDNA -- and supports its development, which is then made available to the Open SOurce community.
5) NEOnet - NEW. Since October, Morpheus has also included connectivity to the new NEOnet P2P Network which uses DHT technology. It works well as you will see tons of search results and reliable download success.
6) MULT-NETWORKS hog resources - TRUE. That is why Morpheus has turned off by default connections to eDonkey and FastTrack--way too much of a hog with them turned on. If the user wishes, they can be enabled. Morpheus only has connectivity to NEOnet, Gnutella, G2 and BT by default. Memory issues are minimal compared with the number of search results obtained.
7) Ad-Free - Bundle Free Morpheus Ultra - We need the financial support that the ads and bundles bring us to pay salaries, rent and legal expenses. For users that don't like these bundles or ads, we have Morpheus Ultra for $19.95. Many users have purchsed Ultra and we thank them for their financial support. We also thank those users that download the free version of Morpheus and don't remove the bundles. This money is our life-line. While others (such as iMESH, LokiTorrent, AudioGalaxy, Napster, Scour, etc), have given in to the threats and lawsuits of the entertainment industry, Morpheus has stood its ground and fought. We won two landmark US Federal Court decisions and now defending ourselves at the Supreme Court next month. This litigation is not cheap--millions and millions of dollars--but we have not turned away from the challenge. In doing so, our legal victories have enabled other P2P developers the freedom to innovate w/o being sued. We are the only ones standing between the bullies and the rest of the P2P development community. If we were not there, spending money defending ourselves and winning, the others would fall like dominos. And yes, we are a corporation and we wish to make profits for our investors, shareholders and employees.
That's enough for this post, if there is anything that has not been addressed, post it and I'll try to respond...and try Morpheus 4.7 to give us the kind of meaningful feedback we'd like to see so that we can continue to improve the product.

Where do you get off making this statement:

Are you living in a cave somewhere? Get real.
As far as who is sleeping with the enemy, take a close look at iMESH - who settled with the RIAA for $4.1 million and pumping out their software like there is no tomorrow. Shades of LokiTorrent?
Morpheus has been fighting this battle since October 2001 -- and winning!!!! We are fighting it all the way to the Supreme Court. We know which bed we are in and shame on you for suggesting otherwise. It's one thing not to like our software (even though you obviously have come to the conclusion w/o trying it), but don't go making up garbage about things you know nothing about.
