[edit] Features

[edit] Multi-network

MP3-Xtreme is able to connect to Gnutella, eDonkey and BitTorrent. It can download a file from several networks at the same time. This is possible because the client hashes its files for all networks, and then distributes the hash values on G2. When another p2p client finds the file, it obtains the knowledge of the hash values for all networks and will search on the networks with the same hash values.[1]

[edit] Modes

MP3-Xtreme has three different GUI user modes. The first one is for normal users. This is the default mode and provides a clean GUI interface. Users cannot change advanced configuration settings in this mode, but are able to make use of all essential functions, like searching and downloading. The second mode is for power users. It provides more access to network and advanced settings. The third mode is the windowed mode. In this mode, users can see different tabs at the same moment, providing more control.

[edit] Filters

MP3-Xtreme contains an IP and keyword filter. MP3-Xtreme also includes a pornography filter. The filter allows users to add user-defined keywords and IP addresses.

[edit] Skins
