eXLite vs eXeem Lite
p2pnet.net News:- Yesterday, I ran a post headed up ExLite – doing well : ) which included this: “Almost as soon as the MPAA used foreign police forces as tax-payer funded movie industry cops to shut down Suprmova and a couple of other BitTorrent sites, eXeem, a commercial joint venture between Swarm Systems SuprNova aiming to build on Sprnova’s near cult status, came into being. eXeem carries Cydoor adware/spyware app which ends up on users’ computers and predictably, eXLite, a version without Cydoor, soon appeared.”
I’d run an earlier story on the subject and had tried to contact someone on the development team. But I didn’t get a response.
But before I continue, here’s a brief digression:
I have very strong opinions about events within the world of corporate entertainment where black is white and where lies are routine forms of communication. But when it comes to what’s happening within the p2p community, I try to keep it simple by reporting what’s happening without taking sides.
So ….
Double vision
I wasn’t aware there were actually two anti-Cydoor eXeems on the loose – Dan’s original eXLite, or eXeem Lite, and a second, unheralded version also called eXeem Lite, with one of the creators of Kazaa Lite on its team.
In my post, I’d wrongly assumed they were one and the same and that I was talking about Dan’s original eXLite – hence the enthusiasm.
And that’s when things went sideways.
The app in my story was, in fact, made by people in Poland and Germany and still had Cydoor on board, although it had been blocked. It was being promoted from http://www.exlite.pl/
DO NOT USE WWW.EXLITE.PL!!!!” – said a p2pnet Reader’s Write shortly after my post went up. “You should check the forums at www.exlite.net. According to a post there in Announcements, both www.exlite.pl and www.exeemlite.com are actually ANTI-exeemlite sites. The software from there not only STILL contains Cydoor but also modifies your PC’s hosts file so that exlite.net becomes unreachable. I have not personally confirmed this, but then again it won’t be hard to do an install and then check your hosts file for modifications. So…heads up.
There were more in the same vein.
Although I didn’t have a contact for Dan’s version at exlite.net, I was in touch with the people who’d made eXeem Lite #2 which I still thought was the original eXLite. They told, me, We know who they are…. and we know what we are doing….. you didnt read this comment…. ‘Warning: – The ‘eXlite’ builds of eXeem Lite are created by a online scammer. He is the creator of TorrentP2P, a rip off of the spyware free filesharing program KCeasy (http://kceasy.com/). Do not trust this person, let alone download any software he releases. HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR DOWNLOADS!” – http://www.zeropaid.com/php/comments/comments4.php?pID=12331’
Our eXeem Lite is real clean version. We have the latest version without Cydoor. They have only 0.18, because nsane made it for him and he know also the true…. and they can not compile new version. They just envy our version…. That’s all what can I say about it…. You can believe us or this scamer…
You can see the above posts, and others, in the Readers’ Writes under my first story, which I took down as soon as I saw there were problems.
One of the things people in the eXLIte camp were complaining about was that in the eXeem Lite version was blocking the www.exlite.net and www.exlite.tk sites through the Windows Hosts file.
I might have spotted the problems earlier than I did. But yesterday was my birthday, we had guests and I wasn’t watching as closely as I might have been.
Be that as it may, last night, I emailed crosskirk@irc.pl and lesres@op.pl, two of the three people listed on eXeem Lite .pl site. The third, bArT8472, didn’t have an email addie linked to it.
I said:
Did you guys spot Dan’s ExLite when it first showed up, thought it was a good idea and tried to do your own version but didn’t do much of a job on blocking Cydoor? or were you perhaps were making a Lite version and didn’t know there was another one already out there? And why was an attempt made to block exlite.net and exlite.tk sites through the Windows Hosts file?
Here’s CrossKirk’s reply:
I am CrossKirk the “leader” of the exlite.pl project. My English isn’t that good as LesRes’s but I hope you will understand me.
It’s truth, Dan’s Exlite was first, after he has released his first version of eXeem Lite I decided to start a separate eXeem Lite project, known as exlite.pl. I helped in making Kazaa Lite, an adfree & spywaree version of Kazaa and now I wanted to lead a same good eXeem lite project .
We released eXeem Lite 0.20 with CyDoor, it’s truth. But the CyDoor doesn’t work because it is blocked by the HOSTS file. We will release tomorrow a new version of eXeem Lite 0.20 where CyDoor will be completely removed and we will remove exlite.net and exlite.tk from the HOSTS file. LesRes put it in, it was a big mistake sorry for this, will never happen again.
We have also written a detailed FAQ about the exeem network, you wouldn’t find same anywhere because I have written it. We have also published the fisrt exeem translation; german and soon will follow other translations to bring exeem lite to users from other countries.
Putting exlite.net and exlite.tk was a mistake, we wanted to change it in the next coming version because it isn’t fair play.
We want to improve eXeem P2P, make it better then other P2P Clients, you can see it at our work, the biggest detailed FAQ, helpful startpage, exeem lite translations and removing Cydoor from the newest versions of exeem, its realy hard to remove it.
We are the only who will publish a working adwarefree and spyware eXeem Lite 0.20 tomorrow.
I hope you can understand me, putting exlite.net and exlite.tk in the HOSTS file was a mistake, which will not happen again. Tomorrow we will release a fixed version.
In the meanwhile …
… WarXchild had posted a comment which said:
This is WarXchild from the www.exlite.net. Let us set this straight based on facts.
First of all im surprised that you have not even bothered to visit www.exlite.net or talk to any admin there. [In fact, I had visited the site, and registered as well - Jon] I first posted regarding the malicious exlite.pl installer on our forums (go to www.exlite.net, click on Announcements topic and read “Warning”) . Thats how this whole thing first came out of the box.
Second, to make your invesitgation easier, go to www.exeemlite.com . Notice the download posted there is the same exlite.pl download. Now look at the “Chat” link on exeemlite.com, howcome it points to OUR IRC chat channel? Is this yet another scam to think its coming from us? Its funny that they post that as their IRC channel, yet if you go into the channel we will tell you its a fake.Their client take you to an anchor page where they mention that exeemlite.com is one of -their- official channels. If so, howcome it points to -our- chat channel? Its all scams from the fake websites, the chats pointing to us, the look of the exeemlite.com site to resemble our old one, and to blocking our sites.
Three, I have never censored or blocked posts mentioning exlite.pl . Instead I mentioned it still had Cydoor and only blocks it through the HOSTS file. We gave people the choice to choose whatever they want as we have nothing to hide. Niether did we resort to scams or tricks to “lure” people.
Further more, we had absulutly no comlpaints regarding our version having Cydoor, installing HOSTS files, or any other trickery. Simply because it does not.
Based on these simple facts above which one do you think is legitimate? The weird anomolies regarding the chat link on exeemlite.com should be sufficient.
If the only thing “some” people are holding against eXlite is that somehow he ripped off Kceasy, and whether that is true or not, it still does not change the merit of the eXlite client he provides.
You have mentioned that you will contact the developers of eXlite in “poland”. That comments gives the impression that you already know who the real developers are, and thus there is no need for “confusion”, which is apparently not the case. In addition that it doesnt seem that you have tried to contact anyone from www.exlite.net to get their input on this matter. Which seems a bit biased to me.
also do not understand your comment that you do not believe there is any malice involved. How can you say there is no malice involved when they admit to blocking their users from accessing other websites on the internet without their consent, and they only come clean when someone found out and exposed them?
After I first broke the news about the HOSTS file, someone at exlite.pl contacted me appologizing and saying they will remove it from their next version. Frankly it might be more “sane” for us to drop exlite completely and save our selves the pain of having to go through these things.
On that note, eXlite (dan) has released his own P2P app and its available for beta testers. And I am in the process of developing another one based .torrents. Like many others, although I think the exeem idea is commendable, I think its implementation is lacking. But to each his own.
Thank you for your time, and im sorry if I have come off a bit on the “negative” side, im sure if you were in our shoes you would be a tad bit ticked off as well.
My original story.
And before you start slamming me, bear in mind that when I wrote this, I was under the impression that I was referring to the ‘Dan’ version.
The MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) has unwisely decided to follow fellow-enforcement organization the RIAA’s lead in trying to sue p2p file sharing out of existence, even trying to drag parents into its cop web.
It won’t work any more than the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) will be able to regain market share by hammering its customers with lawsuits.
Almost as soon as the MPAA used foreign police forces as tax-payer funded movie industry cops to shut down Suprmova and a couple of other BitTorrent sites, eXeem, a commercial joint venture between Swarm Systems SuprNova aiming to build on Sprnova’s near cult status, came into being.And with it came Cydoor, an adware/spyware firm that’s well-known in the corporate music biz, with all that implies. As a p2pnet reader, said,. “Suprnova was great, but I don’t trust eXeem with Cydoor spyware at all” and indeed, only the naïve will use it.
Almost instantly, some people in Poland and Germany slammed Cydoor shut, and hard, with eXeem Lite. And it’s doing well, its creators tell p2pnet.
eXeem Lite 0.20 is now out with an additional nodefix in 0.19 – as well as the eXeem/eXeem Lite FAQ.
“We first translated eXeem Lite into German,” says the team, “but we want to add also Polish, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and maybe even Chinese.”
As things stand, Cydor is there, but it’s been stymied. However, there’ll shortly be an eXeem Lite sans Cydoor.
What’s coming up in new releases?
A squeaky clean app in different languages and with a selection of skins – and movie previews.
“We hope we’ll gain the trust of eXeem/BitTorrent users and like Kazaa Lite, our program will become popular because it’s free and it supports p2p without spyware,” the developers told us.
So onwards and upwards. And if you’re interested in helping out, the eXeem Lite team is looking for beta testers.
And finally …
…. someone associated with eXLite may have tried to contact me. I get a huge amount of spam every day and I try to sort through it by hand on the server so as not to lose a genuine message, which has happened.
When I was filtering the spam by hand, I may have accidentally deleted an eXLite message . So if that’s the case and someone on the team sees this, please let me know.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Cheers! And all the best …
Jon

Im just going to wait about a month or so till this all dies down and most of the bugs are fixed. I especially like the bug that once you get to browsing page 2+, nothing downloads when you double click the file. Completely pointless.
February 7th, 2005 at 6:24 pm
Grrrrr It totally replaced my hosts file with this crap I will never touch exeemlite or whatever they call themselves again I’ve had it now I have to restore a year’s work of blocks,redirects, etc from scratch.

IT`s scam !!!

It replaced your brain, lol
P.S. So don’t use v0.19 from exlite.net, n00b

Unless it can restore my old HOSTS file I’m not interested and time time I’ll remember to make a backup of my hosts file

I can’t disagree I don’t know why I didnt make a backup of my HOSTS file or even attempted to install exeemlite to begin with its nothing but trouble
February 7th, 2005 at 8:07 pm
>: ( the EXLITE.PL one is the one causing all the trouble… pfft…
February 7th, 2005 at 8:09 pm
@_@ I can’t beleive this… The exlite.pl is the one thats been causing problems with the hosts file!!!!!!!!
the .net/.tk one is fine, and actually has cydoor removed… not just blocked…
The only one that might be a scam is the .PL one!!!!!!!
.net is the good one! >_>
February 7th, 2005 at 8:29 pm
OK, I tested BOTH exlite.net and exlite.pl versions:
When I installed exlite.net it ran just fine, connected ok, and I didn’t have any problems. No HOSTS file tampering, and no Cydoor detected.
When I installed the exlite.pl version I found that it had put entries into my HOSTS file… it blocked exlite.net and .tk as well as cydoor.
I found that Cydoor still existed in this version too… >_>
Now I dont use my hosts file for anything, so I dont have to worry about it overriding anything… but from what I’m hearing, it overwrites the file… not just append to it… which is just rediculious.
So now its proven…
Exlite.net DOESN’T do anything wrong… and Exlite.pl not only doesn’t remove the Cydoor correctly, it blocks your access to exlite.net so you can’t get the good one later if you find out… (unless you know what the hosts file is XD)
OK? are you people still confused? or do you still wanna keep bashing exlite.net, because they are doing a good job?
If you wanna bash someone… go to exlite.pl They are the ones that didn’t Remove Cydoor… and messed with your hosts file…
February 7th, 2005 at 8:33 pm
sheeesh… are you people just dumb?
its been said many times… the exlite.pl is the one you shouldn’t use!!
exlite.net .tk are the ones that started the Exeem Lite Project and they are the ones doing it correctly!
February 7th, 2005 at 8:36 pm
Don’t get worked up over it… I think the exlite.pl people are just being arses about all this… and are trying to fool people again into downloading theirs…
Just continue to ignor them and enjoy the good exlite.net version…
February 7th, 2005 at 8:41 pm
This is like a bad Evil Twin battle… And guess who’s wearing the evil beard. XD
Evil = exlite.pl
Good = exlite.net
exlite.net did it first… go home and think of soemthing more creative you evil exlite.pl people…
February 7th, 2005 at 8:45 pm
Frankly, I can’t see why anyone is on the exlite.pl side…
They didn’t do any work… Their version is the exact same as the one at exeem.com
Only thing they did is block Cydoor using the hosts file…
Where as, exlite.net actually did some work, and removed cydoor from the program!
Laziness never gets you anywhere…
February 7th, 2005 at 10:09 pm
DON’T USE IT !!!!

That is utter bullshit I just posted proof where is changed my host file now go away you lying piece of crap
February 7th, 2005 at 10:37 pm
Yea! I just did the same thing, from what I see version from exlite.pl works better then exlite.net! That is just my opinion, but if you don’t belive – test for your self.
February 7th, 2005 at 10:44 pm
Right. I’ve tested too and works much better !
February 7th, 2005 at 10:44 pm
Yes, exlite.pl is OK and…
exlite.NET is NOT OK !!

Go to http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/
Download Spwareblaster.
It protects against BS like Exeem Lite & it has an option 2 make encrypted backups of your HOSTS file.
U have 2 manually update it, but it’s still great.
It’s also recommended by the guy that writes Spybot Search & Destroy. Great little program to have run @ bootup of Winblows.

If you read the posts and stories it is pretty easy to figure out which one is the scam ( the .pl version of course )
However, read for yourself and you will figure it out.

Um, I think you ARE exlite.pl.
I don’t think that anyone will listen to your spam, dummy.
February 8th, 2005 at 3:30 am
lololololololol.
Replying to yourself now?
February 8th, 2005 at 3:34 am
Whoever keeps posting this same bullshit post, seems to me they are desperately trying to prove something that is not true. By changing the names around from the original post, you may fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
Don’t you know that the person who desperatly keeps insisting something is true is always full of shit? simple playground rules. My 8 year old daughter has more brains and maturity

February 8th, 2005 at 5:30 am
WTF….. all this got started because the exlite.PL one blocked the exlite.NET one!
Are you people just retarted… read the history…
They both do the same thing… exeem is still in development… neither versions do anybetter….
But frankly… Exlite.net does it better, because it DOES REMOVE CYDOOR!!! install both and use a spyware detector if you doubt me!!!!
February 8th, 2005 at 5:32 am
yea… but I give up on trying to explain that to them…
I’m pretty sure most those posts are done by some jerk that wants to spam p2pnet, they probably are friends with the exlite.pl guys…
February 8th, 2005 at 5:35 am
YOU ARSE!!!!
Thanks for STEALING/copying my post and just changing the names…
Once again… Exlite.pl are the ones that are scammers! not .net or .tk
I’m sure these arses that are posting all this false info are working with/for the .pl guys…
February 8th, 2005 at 5:42 am
… these guys are just stupid…
First of all, great job stealing/copying my post! REAL smart! I bet you though that no one would figure that out huh? >_>
some people… sheeesh…
exlite.pl are the real scammers here… and they are dangerous ones too… its no doubt that they are the ones that crawled out from under a rock just to bash the hard working and true Exeem Lite Project…
Exlite.net and Exlite.tk are the real and original exlite group!
.PL are just a bunch of morons trying to make it big by stealing other peoples ideas… and they dont even know how to remove cydoor properly…
February 8th, 2005 at 5:44 am
o.O WTF…???
How DARE you copy my post and change the names around…
This guys post is COMPLETE BULL…

these guys are so uncreative, they are posting other peoples comments just with the names switched around…
anyone thats been following the making of exeem lite, will know that Exlite.net is the real and true exeem lite and that it works perfectly!
Where as exlite.pl didn’t even remove cydoor, and blocks other websites… and was programed by spammers it would apear…
February 8th, 2005 at 5:48 am
Jerk… exlite.pl is the dangerous one!! >: (
February 8th, 2005 at 5:51 am
dont get so worked up… they are just spammers…
they’ll leave if you ignore them…
exlite.net = good
exlite.pl = bad
^best said that way ^_^;
February 8th, 2005 at 5:54 am
O_o your mixed up… you have it backwards…
did you even test the installs…? when you install exlite.pl it messes up your hosts file and blocks things it shouldn’t… and cydoor is still there.
Exlite.net is the only good one!
They did it first… so its theirs… dont steal their ideas… especially not if your gonna do a crapy job…
February 8th, 2005 at 5:55 am
SPAMMER…. >_>
February 8th, 2005 at 5:58 am
you spammer…
for the love of all that is holy… do I need to host screenshots of what really happens when you install exlite.pl??
cause it messes up your hosts file… maybe the new version doesn’t… but the version I saved DOES! >_>
long live exlite.net for they are the true heros of exeemliteness XD
February 8th, 2005 at 6:00 am
…>_> FUCK YOU…. asshole… do you work for exlite.pl???
its obvious that .net is the good one… it doesn’t do anything to your host file, and it works just fine…
February 8th, 2005 at 6:05 am
that would be an idea… but this comment section is not ment for this kind of crap… and I’m pretty sure all those spam posts that are trying to pass exlite.pl off as the good one, are all being posted by one or 2 guys…
I think the best thing to do is ignor it… or just delete all the comments and post one new artical… that for once just clearly states what exlite.pl did… and states that exlite.net is and always has been the good one…
after that there may be some more spam… but if we all ignor it, it will go away…
February 8th, 2005 at 6:12 am
I think its pretty clear that exlite.net is the original/good one… its the first… and its the one that is pointed to in all old articals about it, on many sites…
I think that this exlite.pl one just poped up recently, trying to bask in .net’s reflected glorry. *rollseyes*
could someone that works at p2pnet please post an artical, clearly stating the truth, cause I’m sure you know…
I dont understand how this confusion got started… but its easy to clean up… an artical should do it fine.
Exlite.net is the good exeem lite, and should be the only one thats uses…
Exlite.pl is just a scammer site trying to gain some fame… but they dont work hard to remove cydoor, and they block your access to exlite.net… which is really mean… =P

thanks! ^^ you are correct!
This says it nicely:
“”DO NOT USE http://WWW.EXLITE.PL!!!!” – said a p2pnet Reader’s Write shortly after my post went up. “You should check the forums at http://www.exlite.net. According to a post there in Announcements, both http://www.exlite.pl and http://www.exeemlite.com are actually ANTI-exeemlite sites. The software from there not only STILL contains Cydoor but also modifies your PC’s hosts file so that exlite.net becomes unreachable. I have not personally confirmed this, but then again it won’t be hard to do an install and then check your hosts file for modifications.”

Kazaa Lite use hosts file to block a lot of ads and nobody have problem with this…
February 8th, 2005 at 7:37 am
maybe I use a different version (Kazaa Lite K++)… but my kazza lite hasn’t touched my HOSTS file… Its completely clean of adds and keeps all its blocks in a file called “BannedIpRanges.txt”
Any “lite” program that uses the Hosts file, is taking the easy way out… there are MUCH better ways to do it… and if it does you the hosts file, I wont trust it.

OK, I tested BOTH exlite.net and exlite.pl versions:
When I installed exlite.PL it ran just fine, connected ok, and I didn’t have any problems. No HOSTS file tampering, and no Cydoor detected.
When I installed the exlite.NET version I found that it had put entries into my HOSTS file… it blocked exlite.PL as well as cydoor.
I found that Cydoor still existed in this version too… >_>
Now I dont use my hosts file for anything, so I dont have to worry about it overriding anything… but from what I’m hearing, it overwrites the file… not just append to it… which is just rediculious.
So now its proven…
Exlite.PL DOESN’T do anything wrong… and Exlite.NET/TK not only doesn’t remove the Cydoor correctly, it blocks your access to exlite.PL ANT THE INTERNET so you can’t get the good one later if you find out… (unless you know what the hosts file is XD)
OK? are you people still confused? or do you still wanna keep bashing exlite.PL, because they are doing a good job?
If you wanna bash someone… go to exlite.NET They are the ones that didn’t Remove Cydoor… and messed with your hosts file…
