P2P File Sharing

[GhostofJimJess]

Well, I had the benefit of Napster for a couple of years, before moving onto Morpheus for another 12 months, spending the last 12 months or so on Imesh.

Each have served me well in their own way, but each have seemingly gone belly up.

What P2P file-sharing sites are you now using ?

How do they rate ?

 

[Minkus_Swan]

Kazaa Lite (no spyware) for movies - good

Soulseek for music - best music program since audiogalaxy.

 

[RzrBlade]

What Minkus_Swan said, KaZaa Lite K++ is the best P2P Sharing program out there by a fair bit.

Soulseek is also very good, you can find any rare song you cant find on KaZaa 9.99 times out of 10, but I find the speed to download your files is too slow because you can't get them off multiple users (4kb/sec instead of 50kb/sec on KaZaa Lite)

Kazaa Lite is easily the best for Games, Music everything. It has no spyware and even if it does have a little go and download Diet Kazaa 2.0 and you will have none.

 

[Mr Eagle]

Kazaa Lite is the best for music. For anything else though, go straight to eMule.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Emule??

Never heard of it.

Could you give me a link so I can download it.

Thanks,

I like the AVI-Previewer which comes on Kazaa-Lite. You can preview the movie while you're downloading it, so you know if it's the actual movie or a fake with the wrong title or file name.

Love this program.

Genereally, I alternate between Kazaa lite and Soulseek for music. If I'm searching for movies however, Kazaa and Emule are by far the best.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

It sounds good.

Will download it now and see how It is.

downloading afl live 2004 off emule as we speak, very slow but its better than paying for it.

None, there all PC resource hogs with pop ups, and Generally arent worth a pinch of sh*t, email me, and I'll send you some free sites with more movies and MP3's you could ever imagine, and you dont have to install programs that could allow someone else to remotely control your computer.

Why not just post the url's of these wonderful sites so you can share there greatness with your fellow BigFooty posters.

That is what this board is here for afterall.

Best program by far is DC++ imo.

Although it is very difficult to get used to at first, and is not recommended for non-computer 'experts'.

It also works in a different fashion to that of Kazaa, etc. As you have to find, and connect to a paticular 'hub' (or server) for the type of file you are looking to find.

Much better in terms of music, because you can connect to a hub that shares predominantly in the genre of music you are looking for, and there are no fake songs. Also, every single song that I have searched for, has been found. (and searches only take about 2 seconds to complete)

http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/
http://www.hublist.org/ - useful to find hubs to connect to

I use Kazaa Lite, it serves me pretty well. I just download music, not movies.

Soulseek sounds alright, I'm looking for quite a few rare songs that I have had dead ends on with Kazaa, if someone could post a link or something I'd really appreciate it.

 

[sgPanther]

emule-plus for me.

Got it going now.. averaging about 60kB/s but you have to leave it running for long periods to get it up to that.

It is best for movies, episodes of your favorite shows, software, PC Games, PS2 and XBox Games...

I think ozzy is questioning your interpretation of "Thou Shalt Not Steal"

(...and "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbour's Shared Directories")

 

[thewhippersnapper]

I have Kazaa Lite and eMule and I think that eMule so far is better. Although I haven't really had it for long.

I never download Music.

Im heaps more into games and software.

As mentioned, Thou Shall Not Steal.
