Version: Morpheus 4.6.1
"P2P Software in Need of A Mix"
Pros: This product, if nothing else, has a nice looking interface. The general ease of navigation of the program was impressive, and gave the impression of a very professional looking program. This program had some strong reminder to the original Guru of P2P software Napster.
I personally found no adaware or spyware or trojans. Despite the many suggestions I recieved by the program of ways to remove the third party softwares, I found none on my computer. The only ad I ever found was the singal banner ad located on the bottom of the program!
For those of us remember the good old days when Morpheus first began to make a name for itself, around five years ago, this version will be a big disapointment for you.
Cons: Despite the singal pro, this program had several major flaws that I experienced. The program's Library Interface was quite poor, catagorizing the media by the file folder they were located in, not by the the genere, media type(audio, video, software), as is found in Morpheus's sister program Kazaa Lite; Kazaa Lite no longer available, unless you can really dig for it).
I also found great difficulties with the search. Searching files returned no results, despite their boasting of a large number of sources.
In General:
If you were to take Morpheus' interfaces, stick it in a blender and mix it with the Library Interface of Kazaa, and throw in WinMX's Ad Free function, you would definetly have an excellent program!
My recomendation: If you can find it, download Kazaa Lite K++. Though the downloads are slower, averaging around 30kbs with audio(on my T3 internet), the ease of use, the superiour library organization, and the Ad Free function makes it a cut above the rest in free P2P software!
