Some people have already put their hands on the beta for Exeem. Simon—over at Mitosis—has posted a review and some screenshots:

I'm going to reserve my judgement until I've seen the system under a larger load and done more research on exactly what's going on under the hood. The test files I downloaded had about the same speed normal torrent downloads had. The interface was minimal but clean and easy to use and the app only crashed when I was shutting it down. In all, I'd say it looks pretty good.

One interesting thing was the "comments" option. Under the "new torrents" tab each file has a comments field. You can read and post to each file like it had it's own message board. Might be handy for rar passwords etc. 

Found another interesting feature under the "transfers" tab. Once a file has downloaded, it sits in your transfers area and has the 'seeding' status (sharing). You can right-click it and get some other options like "Vote OK", "Vote Not OK", "Comments" and "Copy eXeem Link". Not sure if the vote system will have any real effect other than just being a running

tally of what people think. The description view is nice. You can read whatever the publisher of the file has to say about it. Also, looks like the eXeem link option can be used to put links on websites ala eDonkey style.

Found a couple of new things too. Under the catagory search I found all the types such as applications, games, music etc and I also saw "Adult". Talk about stress testing a system. I always assumed suprnova didn't have an Adult section because of how much bandwidth it would consume just from people viewing the list. Wonder how this system will hold up under the strain.

The Search is much improved. You can narrow searches by filesize and by language. Cool.

If any of our readers would care sending us tips on how to get access to this beta version let us know at cacheop at gmail.com

Merry Xmas!
