I'm not sure which i prefer. KaZaA has a good interface, but has ad's. WinMX is a very simple looking non-ad program. and LimeWire has both no ad's, nice interface but runs really slow on my computer. It probably isn't the program, more likely to be my computer.

[guangdian]

i just not vote for it do you have heard of OpenNext or PP?
or do you heard of exeem or Bittorrent...
i think this is the best used p2p programme..and i don't think the things you talked about i have heard of?

i just don't know the programme you give on thread..

yes..i think sometimes i just don't use the p2p mostly i just download something with http..

do you?

[fffanatics]

The best peer to peer protocol (not software) has to be bittorrent unless you are on a internet 2 college campus. The reason i said protocol is that there is not bittorrent program like Kazaa or Limewire that does the searching. You must find a website that hosts .torrent files and then you use a bittorrent client to download the file. The reason it has to be the best is that you can get wonderful speeds, the files are correct and not corrupted, and they are mainly virus free unlike all the other pp programs.

Bittorrent kills them all (I use Azureus).

As for Kazaa like programs, I generally avoid, but if I want to pick up some random old tune I want to reminisce about, I use Shareaza.

[cryptique91]

Well, the peer to peer program I'm using currently is Ares Galaxy.
It's quite fast (running on a little memory and CPU usage).
Besides, it gives me download speeds which are quite fast.
I used Limewire and it drained my pc......
That's why i'm using ares now

[palladin]

The torrents are goods but not for older files. Only new files with good tracker and many seeders this rox.

But sometimes need somthing else then new games or music then i use old edk2 webs.

So my favorite is:

Azureus for torrents
Shareaza for edk2(old e-donkey web) , they connect for Gnutella1 and Gnutella2(primary) webs too. So they can suck from 4 sources type at one time (can suck torrents too but not too good)

[ruckusbag]

Bittorrent is awesome, there are loads of files and most downloads are pretty quick. WinMX is pretty good because there is no spy/adware but sometimes it is hard to find a good download.

[Saint_Michael]

even though this topic has been discussed before limewire is better.

Limewire works fine in my computer, actually I try to download 700mb movie files and it takes only few hours,,, Limewire is no ads programs, although it makes your computer open to others but you can still sees who's accessing your computer... try the latest version of limewire...

[emperor]

The best is without any doubt Shareaza, I've always found what i was searching. Besides it's the only, that i know, where you can resume your download. For people that have a slow connection this is a real useful thing.

[muksimp]

I think that best is DC++, cousen it is fast to download, not much viruses, easy to use. You should never use kazaa, once i used kazaa, i downloadet something (dont remember), then i clicked twice on it and my windows was destroyed!! i needet to format, reinstall windows and all softwares.

[PinQ]

I use ShareAza.

there are a couple of reasons i go for ShareAza:

1. It's free
2. It's fast
3. It's easy to use
4. Has a good interface
5. Has not so much sh*t in it's network as KaZaA
5. supports windows XP SP 2
6. supports BitTorrent files (so its a torrent client too!)
7. allmost all languages

you dont get any spyware or adware with it.

I think its super

[pilgrim_of_mini-monkeys]

I think the thing you need to be looking for is the safest P2P network.

I have tried:
WinMx
Ares
Shareza
Limewire
E-Mule

And a few others that I can't remember. Out of them all I liked Ares the best. It has no ads and boasts a built in browser (web).

It is fast and there are thousands of files. Everything that I have looked for, I have found.

There is an option to download a lite version or the full version. The lite version is recommended for slow computers.

[alexia]

I Use KaZaA software
but P2p softwares is not secure
Many virus can speard in P2p network
If u use this kind of software be careful!

[machinamedia]

I choosed "Other" because I am a dc++ fan!

[Greegko]

All Bad File Sharing

Good Client :
http://Shareza.com : Shareza Multi Network Gnutella,Edonkey2000,gnutella2
Morpheus : Super Multi network : All network connect !!!
Emule : Edonkey2000
Winmx BAD VERY BAD !!!!!
Dc++ (direct connect) vErY GoOd !!! Super !!!! All files find.

[mizako]

I would say azareus for torrent. Problem is that you have to find the torrent of what you are looking for.
And eMule/aMule for searching particular things.

[2091]

hi!

i use the program shareaza, witch brings a little ad, but it connects to all known networks, so u can find things faster. it has also a "powermod" where u can manipulate the hole program...

[sonorama]

well, eventhough i use P2P only for albums previews ( I am a CD collector, so rather buying CDs in Stores ) and some rarities and/or videos I guess I consider Soulseek as the best one.

Cheers!

[drenomus]

its look like everybody forget the clasicc emule.
the normal emule suck, but the emule morphXT v7.2 is great i can download over the 40kb is incredible.

other p2p that was forgotten was the hibrid edonkey with overnet, this progam have too a great speed.

[vibutx]

Kazza is not that good since alot of people got caught using it. I preffer Limewire Pro its always turbocharged my downloads raise up to 2500 kb per sec so its pretty good. I dont use sharing programs any more because i dont want to get into and illegal stuff.

[ĐeadHunter]

4. Emule
5. Imesh

Quote

1. (Dc++)
Direct Connect allows users to share multiple directories from their local and mapped disks with other users over a TCP/IP network. All users' shared files are available to all other users; no passwords or hassles are required. Direct Connect provides integrated searching, graphical navigation of files, and public and private chatting. These files are easily viewed through a familiar, organized Windows-Explorer interface. To conveniently access the plethora of files, advanced searching capabilities and filters are provided. All of these features are integrated into Direct Connect's unique communal file-sharing system.
2. (Morpheus)
The all-new Morpheus 5.0 Beta is the most powerful ever and ushers in a new era in file-sharing technology. A completely redesigned smart user interface makes it quick and easy to search, discover, download, and play all types of media files including MP3 audio, music, movies, videos, games, photos, and documents. Search multiple P2P networks including the new Neo Network, BitTorrent, and Gnutella to download more of what you find including rare and unique content you can�t get with other file-sharing software. Morpheus, ruled legal by U.S. federal courts, protects your privacy with access to public-proxy networks; works with your anti-virus software; returns fast, multisource downloads; provides Bitzi anti-spoofing lookups; includes new community features and contains parental filters for safe downloads. With Morpheus 5.0 you will experience pure file-sharing with no third-party bundled software, guaranteed no spyware, no Trojans and no pop-ups.
3. (Bittorrent)
Azureus is a easy-to-use Java BitTorrent client, with support for 27 languages. Azureus connects to the BitTorrent network. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol designed to transfer files. Users connect directly to send and receive portions of a file, while a central tracker coordinates the action of all peers and manages connections without knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed. With BitTorrent, users upload at the same time they download, so network bandwidth is managed as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better than other file-transfer protocols as the number of people interested in a certain file increases.
4. (Emule)
eMule is a filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network, but offers more features than the standard eDonkey client, because it's opensource but under the restrictions of the GPL License. Version 0.44d solves a problem with the new icons for Windows 98 users.
5. (Imesh)
iMesh is a peer-to-peer file-sharing program that lets you find, download, share, and publish audio and video files, computer games, images, photos, and just about any document. An ever-growing community of millions of registered users ensures quick location and download of virtually any type of file available on the P2P network. iMesh makes file sharing even better, with new features including multinetworking (search simultaneously on other file-sharing networks such as Gnutella) and a new, friendlier user interface. Also includes the iMesh Bar, allowing you to search the Web and run iMesh from Internet Explorer. Version 5.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

I think eMule is the best because it has a lot of results in a moments and it's fast too. I've tried Kazza and Imesh. None of them has a lot of results so I'll stay with eMule.

[megamanbellotti]

Ok i think BitTorrent and BitTorrent clients are the best and spyware free and you can download virtually anything.

[shigajet]

I currently use Limewire for music files, and BitTorrent for larger video files. I found both to be really great programs. As well, at one time I used Shareaza - an open-source P2P program. Not bad, but I frequently had trouble getting a connection.
