An image viewer.

Seemed really nice when I first tried it, but it only viewed one image at a time. Even a decade later it doesn’t really work.

A hacker’s BitTorrent client.

I had used this for a while, but using something like it is a bit frustrating for me. It’s rarely updated and is lacking a number of convenience features.

I was thinking of hacking some solutions to my grievances when I just got frustrated and dumped it to try Deluge again.

Abandoned: As of 2019-11-21, version 0.3.18 was released on 2006-12-24.

to be re-watched for a summary

Though it’s definitely recommended for most people to watch and understand, I didn’t particularly like it because I knew everything in it and wasn’t entertained, and so I sold it at a profit.
