    I've been unable to get it working. I beleive it's because I either installed ANT wrong, or you need a GUI installed to run it.

    What makes DIMES worth it anyway? I've noticed some people here have adopted it but... what is the point?

    It has an amazing memory leak in the client that allows you to reboot your PC more often, and test the boundaries of Windows' memory management... at least, that's why I would use it. I think those other guys cure athlete's foot with it or something. :fold:
