New transfer system – faster downloads and ability to set priority.Firewall improvements - enhanced Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support.Skins update - changes reload without restart of application.Alerts indicating files that may not be authorized for download (note: database and accuracy incomplete - not fail proof)Various bug fixes – podcast functionality, general improvements, and much more. Morpheus is a solid P2P application, but doesn't make the jump to multimedia super-app.
The other extra features in the application like the library structure or web browser feel a bit awkward, and therefore failed at turning the program into a true multimedia application. The program gives access to all the P2P networks, even Bittorrent, and the new version introduces safer and quicker transfer thanks to UDP technology. However hard Morpheus tries at integrating cool features like web browsing or podcasting, we figure the application should only be used for what it’s good at i.e. The one-click burning function is something we were eager to try out, but it was nowhere to be seen. The My Files tab has an additional file window at the bottom, which adds to the confusion on the interface. Add to that the many drawbacks we found in the application. Morpheus comes with interesting enhancements, but not enough to get us overexcited. The application also introduces UDP technology to improve the performance of downloads and allow secure file sharing between 2 firewall protected PCs. You can also add a password to make sure you control who has access to Morpheus.
The program also includes solid parental control. You can now select your antivirus application to automatically scan downloaded files. Morpheus has also beefed up its security. However we were quite confused by the podcast downloading procedure, as the progress bar is hidden in the file window of the My Files tab. Morpheus' podcast tab is wisely divided into podcast and episodes, so you can browse through what you’ve downloaded. While it’s not as star-studded as the iTunes library, it’s full of varied and original content. By clicking on the podcast page button in the podcasts tab, you will be taken to Morpheus’ own podcast library. This is particularly useful when you’re looking for new podcasts. It includes an embedded browser, Morpheus Online, from which you can check out the internet or find new files to share while you’re downloading. Morpheus wants to be a multifaceted app, not just a simple P2P program.
