Google Search: Digital Candy

Digital Candy 2.2
Digital Candy is a program that searches for files using bittorrent networks. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing program that allow for a transference to large files. Blizzard Entertainment, the game development company, uses BitTorrent to distribute most of its World of Warcraft content, up to and including the game itself. Many big-name open source and freeware projects use, and often encourage, BitTorrent to reduce the load on their servers.
BitTorrent has had problems with legality, with most of the problems dealing with accusations of copyright infringement.
As far as Digital Candy 2.2 is concerned, it doesn’t look like the kind of thing that I would use, mostly because the last time it was updated was in April 2006. Beyond that, it only works on the Windows OS, which limits who can use it.
