AllPeers in Ubuntu Dapper #3

After real experimental for several days, I have already decided to disable AllPeers until it has more maturity since I got too many bugs. During last week, I have invited more than 30 friends to help me test AllPeers. Below are what I found.

  1. Memory Leak - I'm not sure what happended but AllPeers seemed to take all of free memory in my laptop everytime I started Firefox.

  2. User Interface - I'm not familiar to this kind of user interface yet. As a result, I downloaded unwanted files so often.

  3. Slowness - Displaying items in a directory is so slow, especially directory with large amount of files.

  4. Unable to Cancel - Some operations are unable to cancel or revert. For example, it is impossible to cancel downloading session as well as to delete downloaded items from my laptop.

  5. Unpredictable Destination - The downloaded files are randomly saved in my laptop. They were saved in the last download directory instead of the specified one.

  6. High Utilization - Firefox took all my CPU time when I downloaded big, big file. As a result, I can't do anything until it finishs.

  7. Too Strict - I would like to share a folder to a group of friends. I have to manually share it everytime I have new friend in that group. It would be nice if AllPeers support group.

Anyway, it is still in beta state. I would be glad to see AllPeers as a standlone application instead of an extension of Firefox. It is a good idea to integrate into Firefox but for me, Firefox is the most important thing in my desktop. It is the first application to start and the last one to stop. I don't want to see it crashs.
