Xunlei Thunder get boycott?

Well, most of the people who use Bit Torrent download client have heard about Xunlei Thunder (迅雷) before, maybe even using it now. Before that, I'm also a user of Xunlei Thunder, because it is fast. But I switch to Deluge after changing to Linux OS (Xunlei does not support Linux and my computer are getting older) and happy with it.

Last few days, when I surfing the website, I found someone asking why they stated don't use XunLei or else you will get nothing. I start searching for information on the net, nothing much to be found, but I change to Chinese word to search and I found a lot of information. Xunlei is now starting to ban/boycott by peoples especially on Chinese website.

If you ever use Xunlei before, you will found your computer is busy doing something even you didn't start Xunlei or doing anything. This is because Xunlei will auto run at the background and transfer any file to share with other. (Yes, any file without your permission). How to know it? You will found this 2 process in your task manager, Thunder.exe and Issue.exe. This mean the Xunlei is already sharing your privacy with others. Scary right?

Xunlei even connect to other server without permission which leeches other network bandwidth. You will found Xunlei default setting is very selfish which don't share much resource after download. (Well but it share other file with other without you knowing). Xunlei even come with a lot of advertisement which someone claims that it has Trojan and worm (I'm not sure, never hit by one before).

If you are still using Xunlei, you will found some of your download will stop before reaching 5% or did not even start at all. Please don't worry, because you are boycott by others as well now. Most of the Chinese website take the step to anti-Xunlei for their own good (cannot leech or steal their website resource) and for user's good (stop using Xunlei to share your privacy with others). Go try others bit torrent client and stop sharing your own private file with others.
