eXeem, SuprNova's file-sharing Bittorrent-like client?
In 2005 when a public torrent site SuprNova "closed" down, the staff collaborated to make a torrent client that would have been revolutionary if it wasn't deemed a failure and closed down a little while after.
I think this excerpt would refresh memories and provide for some entertaining reading. Enjoy.

eXeem was a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing client using the BitTorrent protocol. eXeem was designed to replace the need for centralized trackers (servers which co-ordinate the transfer of metadata across a BitTorrent network). It largely failed to achieve this goal, and the project was canceled and eXeem's network was shut down by the end of 2005.
eXeem was written in C++ using the open source libtorrent library for its bittorrent functionality.
