Let´s face it, Inquisitor is a great enhancement for Safari. It is also freeware. It is in my interest for the developer to continue to update and enhance the app. I do not really care whether the app points to any affiliate links or not. If this generates a little income for Inquisitor´s developer to facilitate further development then I´m all for it.

I've no problem with Inquisitor employing affiliate links where a Google search result points to Amazon, for example, but I'm not okay with it manipulating search results such that the affiliate links are shown ahead of the top Google hits. Uninstalled it for that reason.

HATE

maroon,

This has now been removed (well it can be turned off, though by default it's still on):

Nice, but I hate how it hijacks the ⌘↵ key combination so that MegaZoomer no longer works.

Avoid. Keeps a cache of icons at ~/user/application support/inquisitor. Essentially makes your search history visible to anyone using spotlight. Try out Glims. It's more customisable and doesn't appear leave files on your system either.

Did use this and it was fine. But removed It and started using glims. glims is much much better

new version tries to phone home after installing process finishes

I like David´s apps a lot and so I happily paid for the full version of Xtorrent. The integrated search and RSS-Feeds really make downloading over Bittorrent a breeze. However, lately I had to go back to Transmission to download a file which Xtorrent did not want to finish downloading (looks like the most recent version introduced a couple of bugs). Transmission has really come a long way since i last had a look at it - and i guess i would recommend it over Xtorrent these days.

From the transmission forum about licensing changes - "Portions of the code will be changed to avoid blatant attempts to profit significantly from our work"

Seems some of the parts that changed to a gpl license are the same bits added to the latest version of xtorrent. Which means xtorrent should be open source to comply with the license.

or they will have to fork libtransmission

david watanabe is the karl rove of mac software development: an extremist, far right minded person that profits from the work of people with a very different approach and belief in softw. develpment. he copied once limewire, and he copied now transmission. beautiful app, but the karl rove of app. won't have my vote.

This torrent client has been banned by a large majority of torrent trackers. Apparently, it's a pretty shoddy implementation of a very old version of libtransmission. In addition, the trackers seem to think the spirit of the developer doesn't fit with their vision of the torrent community.

Use at your own risk.

OCM, I expect Watanabe won't open source Xtorrent. He's happy to profit from it, but he'll never contribute. He'll leave continue using the older version of libtransmission to avoid having to abide by the modified license. He'll just keep throwing more new features into the app to distract people from the fact that the heart of his app is ancient and limited. That or he'll brazenly use it and ignore the license, proving once and for all everything bad that's ever been said about him.

A friend of mine uses this because of the torrent search feature. I've tried to tell him to use Azureus or Transmission, but he likes the search.

I use xTorrent like a demon, I honestly love this app. Everyone bitches and moans about it and the creator, even I have been kn own to (Watanabe, would it hurt you to reply to e-mails that are genuine customer suppoprt related?)... and as for it being banned from torrent sites... I've never not found anything I wanted using it's built in search feature.

At the end of the day, I honestly love this app.

This app has it's pretty cool features I must admit. But overall not worth the buy and it's also kinda buggy.

Please new version !!! Upgrade Now !!!

No offense, but why in the heck would you PAY someone for a piracy app? Non-free piracy apps should die, it's insane that app authors are trying to make money off others stealing stuff.

I am using ClamX every couple of monhs to clean Word macro-viruses from clients machines. Macs can get affected by these viruses also. They do not do any damage per se but you pass them on to other users which in turn are usually not very happy. So there´s your need for anti-virus protection on the mac.

I have exactly the same problem. Spirited away works fine - for a couple of hours, then it just stops responding.
