or KDX! :)

KDX's UI really was something else.

I remember first learning about torrents from a KDX server that had a folder with instructions on "how to download Matrix Reloaded at full speed". Downloaded some suspicious "BitTorrent" (I remember thinking the name was appropriate for what it promised) client along with a funny ".torrent" file"... and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the transfer speed use the entirety of my 256kbps connection.

I remember that. I don’t remember how the two were related but the UI was very customized and futuristic. I loved that too.
KDX was the followup to Hotline, made by the same guy IIRC, he made a new company "Haxial". and yeah it was quite nice!
