I have tried it; it's too slow. Unfortunately they implemented the
entire UI and computational logic in an interpreted scripting language.
So, all the flashy spinning animations eat 100% CPU and cause
exeptionally slow response. On top of that load, it's also a Bittorrent
client.

It's a nice idea and they have some nice content.
