If you have any more specifics about what gave you problems, we can also just fix 'em. Did you download the beta and not the older version? I definitely recommend the beta for everyone at this point, and it will go live sometime soon. @51 The instructional video idea is a good one, and we’ll likely get to that at some point.

The only thing i find this useful for is as a mass torrent and file search engine...the results appear but apparently only those with majors in rocket science prevail. Sorry Adam, you seam like a nice well spoken guy...but this is just too difficult to figure out perhaps you could post a ten minute walk-through video on youtube? love the the idea, keep it up....but keep it simple. Cheers Pulling my hair out….deleting this for a second time.

I'd add one minor tweak -- sites should offer and *big* files they have available as torrents. For small files, the added initial latency and minor savings make it not worth it. P2P should be the method for distributing large files on any site, period. The only reason it isn't now is usability. You have to open up all these big bulky external clients every time you click a torrent. I think that's the direction things will head soon. @46 *Exactly* – that’s precisely what LittleShoot is getting at.

I'm saying you can build that ad-hoc infrastructure in 1 week and have it scale to 5 million page views for free. That's what App Engine gives you. Sure, you pay incrementally after that (still not much), but the reduction in development time as well as the low-risk cost structure make it extremely attractive. The Pirate Bay guys have done a fantastic job scaling, but no one scales better than Google, sorry =). You can literally have a simple app up and running in 15 minutes that scales to 5 million page views without paying a penny. @45 I’m not saying you can’t build an ad-hoc infrastructure that does everything you need to do cheaply.

LittleShoot doesn't ever connect with PayPal for anything. Not sure if you're running Ethereal or what, but I'd have a second look before firing off misinformation. We have a lot of jars because LittleShoot is extremely modular, allowing developers to easily swap in new download algorithms for example - so there are a lot of very small jars. Many programs lump all of there code together (into one huge jar, for example), but that frequently makes the program far less flexible going forward, as everything is dependent on everything else. To remove LittleShoot on a Mac, you can just delete 1) /Applications/LittleShoot 2) /Library/LittleShoot/LittleShootPlugin 3) /Library/Application Support/LittleShoot Do you have other issues with it besides the difficulty uninstalling and the erroneous PayPal thing (again, we don't connect to PayPal)? We'd love to hear your feedback if so, and we'll likely just change it. Thanks. -Adam Fisk @47 Ahhh…huh? LittleShoot doesn’t ever connect with PayPal for anything.

I can see this getting us one step closer to true decentralisation of data, if it becomes a big thing.
