Ah, the smell of CNY is slowly thinning into nothing. How quick an end before i could even wake up to my senses that the holidays are almost gone and the workload that was forgotten now quickly returned to relish my nightmares. Hey, wait a minute, that is no poetry, that's horrible. I don;t know why i started that way, probably because i loved this holiday too much. CNY was absolutely boring at start, but was exceptionally fun towards the end. Damn! Life's but the sweet all collected at the end of the tube. I'll try not to suppress the fun while i'm still young; don't wanna go rock and roll with my walking stick when i'm well over 60 years old.

So, to get to the point, i remember promising a review on some sort of a p2p network. Yeah, i do remember now. How forgetful i get. Now, i recently tried out a new p2p network (new to me but not quite to some other advanced netizens) that is easy to use and very responsive(fast). What's so special about this network you may ask; It is different from other well established networks such as Gnutella, KaZaa, and the sort. This network is called Piolet. Name's a strange one, that's what i thought when i first encountered it, but i'll continue to search for the meaning though.

First, the network uses a completely decentralized system whereby only peers exist to share files (songs) amongst them. There are minimal number of servers just to keep everything running smoothly. Though this might not sound new to you, it is the core technology that empowers the network. Secondly, the speed of the network is amazingly staggering. By doing a simple search in the client software, literally hundreds of downloads pour onto the screen, in a matter of few seconds. (If you have a broadband connection, the results might be even faster). Previously, I was using the Gnutella network through the Limewire client. I have lots of censure when it comes to the Limewire client. The program is bloated and sucks up a lot of memory space. The Java built client is slow and sluggish due to the Java architecture thus drying up all the sensation of a fast network. With Piolet, all this is not a problem anymore.

The client has a clean tabbed interface, with everything arranged into its correct place, so navigating your way around is a sure delight. With the advent of malicious codes outbreak on p2p networks lately, the Piolet guys have put up a special security feature in the client by offering McAfee Security Center which you can subscribe to. That is the feature not found in most clients in popular use currently.

One small quirk with the client though, you have to turn off the Microsoft Windows' Internet Firewall Protection option so that you could log on to Piolet. So, once you've installed the client, be sure to check the help files if you encounter any problems.
