Qnext

[LOC Veteran]

Just found this little jewel, it's rather nice I must admit. Warning to anyone that's going to try it, it uses <evil>JAVA</evil> so if you hate Java, don't complain I didn't tell you ahead of time.

It's available for Windows AND Linux (Mac version coming soon apparently) and offers the following features:

Universal Instant Messaging, Video Conferencing, File Transfer, Voice Chat, Group Text Chat and File Sharing along with premium services (which are free during the beta test) such as Qnext Photo, QnextMyPC. They are working on more services also, no listing as to what they are.

To warn you, the system requirements are rather high for this, being on Java and a beta. So if your on a slow PC, don't try it without knowing:

Pentium III 500 MHz

128 MB RAM

40 MB Hard Disk Space

Windows 9x, Windows 2000, Windows XP

It has secured encrypted file transfer, which I know alot of people are into these days as the next big thing coming, I haven't tried it yet obviously.

For more information on the app and other such nice stuff head on over here if you decide to download and give it a try, my nick on the Qnext network is LOC (wow, imagine that one eh?)

Remember, I'm just giving people who may be interested in this type of app a head's up. I see "where can I get an all in one IM app?" and "what p2p is the best?" threads all the time, so I thought I'd let you people know about this new one I found. If you want screenshots of the app, let me know and I'll take some.

Er, I meant to post this in Back Page News, can a mod move this please? :)

[MxxCon]

nothing really new or exciting..

there are dozens of such "secure" "p2p" "suits", each terms used very loosly :)

[LOC Veteran]

Yes but none of them really come together in one nice app :)

[trigger_my_passion]

Files are sent using a secure, encrypted P2P connection directly to the other user. Receiving a file requires the Qnext user to accept and initiate the transfer.

Am I right in my understanding that this is exactly like how file transfers work in mIRC meaning, if I am behind a firewall and so is my friend, we can't send files to each other using this, unless one of us opens the needed port(s)?

Edit: Never mind, got the answer @ http://www.qnext.com/supp_faq.html#f6

QNext is 21.8MB, just wanted to warn the narrow band members.

I installed it. So far everything is OK.

Besides internet connections are becoming faster and faster, I doubt if anyone is using a modem connection.

Hey LOC, why I am seeing you constantly offline in Qnext. I've added you as a friend, but...... :no:
