Yeah, finally!!

Just downloaded and installed it right away! 🙂

Here's a linky to the download site..
The screensaver is really nice, it shows the traffic stats and which sites are currently targeted.

It doesn't use much CPU power, so DC friendly.

Thanks for the nice find! 😀

http://forums.anandtech.com/me...4402&enterthread=y There are two threads but it looks like the other one's a repost of yours.

For crap's sake people, please don't encourage sh|t like this. This is an extremely irresponsible way to fight the spam problem and not a good use for the distributed crunching power that we have.
