iMesh is crap...

I was pointed to this new P2P download app by my Dad and was extremely disgusted by it.

NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL iMESH!!

As with most proggies like this you must accept the fact that they install a bunch of AD Programs. The always hated Gator (GMT), the MyWeb IE plugin, and even the BIG piece of crap "New Dot Net" client. This one lets you know they are installing it, but doesnt give you the option to NOT install the additional proggies.
Well it took 1/2 second to agree to install and about 1/2 hour to uninstall; a few reboots, even had to boot up into safe mode to get rid of some of the shell integration of some damn DLL. (c:\program files\newdotnet\...).
P2P is all good and we must understand that nothing is free in this world, but Jesus these guys need to cut back. One maybe two AD Programs are enough, but 4+ is just too much.

Once you get past that, the actual UI is muddled and confusing. Not to mention I couldnt really find anything of use to me. I admit, I only did a few quick search's for some popular music -slipknot, death, korn- with little luck.

Next time maybe I will wait for someone else to beta test these new tools and to blog about it. ;)
