Seems like a lot of people think it's installing adware along with the
client. I'd hold off, personally.
Yes, it *does* try to install Adware - one is a Toolbar, which it
politely
(stupidly?) asks you if you want to install (so you just click "Cancel",
and it doesn't install it); the other one it *does* install ("Cydoor"),
silently, but Anti-Spyware/Adware products like McAfee's AntiSpyware
find
that one quite easily, and so it's easily removed. I haven't seen any
hints
of Adware/Spyware after doing that ...
BTW, it apparently also functions under WINE on Linux:

There was an article about eXeem 0.20 on Slashdot last Friday:
