Poisoned is a free peer-to-peer computer program for Mac OS X. Started by Silvio Rizzi on May 26, 2003, it is a frontend to giFT, and currently supports the OpenFT, FastTrack, Gnutella and Ares protocols. For access to these typically separate networks Poisoned uses third-party plugins such as GiFT-FastTrack. It is available under the GNU General Public License. It is not currently a Universal Binary.
[edit] Controversy
Another peer-to-peer software, XFactor had lifted portions of Poisoned's Source Code without following the GPL guidelines. Since disclosure XFactor has removed the offending code. [1]
