toadnode now free
 

toadnode, a neat little gnutella client that used to be shareware that expired after a 15-day trial, is now free.

they don't offer any explanation for this sudden change of heart, but i checked and there's no spyware or ads added. i guess it's true that no-one pays to register shareware nowadays, so they gave up and just decided to give it away...

from here:

- No Adware
- No Spyware
- New sharing engine! Sharing speed and stability significantly improved.
- Filesystem hooks for automatic sharing and unsharing of files moved in and out of Toadnode.
- Dozens of major crashes fixed.

- gCache enabled!
- Multiple language versions.
- Embedded Media Player.
- PlayList added to File Transfer Window.
- Faster connections to hosts.
