P2P programs

[Jammy-G]

Whats the best?

I know Kazaa is full of spyware, and it's hard to find kazaa lite, what alternatives are there?

Cheers.

Just started using soulseek. Good for music downloads.

Use either Newsgroups (most ISP's have them)

or

BitTorrent.

Steer clear of Kazaa,even though the Lite version is better than the normal version.

Whichever route you go down make sure you have your anti-virus upto date,firewall signatures upto date & an IP blocker such as Peerguardian or ProtoWall. You just don't know who is trying to connect to you!

I heard that Kazaa Lite was becoming "subscription only", maybe that's why you can't hook up to it for free now.

Soulseek is OK, but downloads are so slow, and choice is somewhat limited.

WinMX is another choice, but I can't often find what I want on it.

If you can find someone with the install program for the free Kazaa Lite, that'd be your best option, IMHO.

Just started using BitTorrent myself. Here's a good FAQ for anyone that doesn't know about it:

https://dessent.net/btfaq/

And for anyone that's running Kazza instead of Kazza Lite switch now and then run Lavasoft's free ad-aware program to get rid of all the spyware muck!

I downloaded Kazaa Lite from Kazaa...Then, after its done, remove all the spyware (and Kazaa) from PC and install Kazaa Lite.

Worked for me.

I got the newest version of Kazaa Lite, ironically off www.oldversion.com

I used to have Kazaa Lite resurrection, but I didn't like it.

I have eMule, which isn't really P2P, but it does use eDonkey sometimes.

I spend £10 a month to download/stream as much music as I like from Napster - its legal and I can get it instantly.

Before that (and for things you can't get on Napster) - Bittorrent
- WinMX
- Kazaa Lite

Never had much luck with soulseek

Of course, I'd never deam of using any pirated material

Nah, soulseek is sh1te. 'Ares' is much better than Kazaa lite. Google 'ares' it's very good and quick. Kazaa has died

edit/

Found it, https://www.aresgalaxy.org/ares/ Sh1t hot.

there's some random russian website that my m8 recommends
www.grammy.ru and apparently, u can find ANY album on it. My m8 downloading most of the metallica stuff from there and NOT NAPSTER.

But in relation to this thread, use WINMX, Kazaa's spyware compromises your own privacy which would inevitably lead to prosicution of handling or obtaining pirated material = some harsh sentance. Anyone of you people remember using MORPHEUS?

Used to use Napster in the 'old days' but now use Winmx, you can usually get what you want if you are patient.

i normally on a machine with no software download an old version of kazaa/kazaa lite, then use that to download the newest version of kazaa lite i can find.

[Craggles]

Yep! I remember Morpheus

I switched to Kazaa lite after Morpheus began to use the Gnutella 2 network, because it was like boiled scrotum.

https://www.simplemp3s.com is a good source for Albums. Just make sure you have a pop-up blocker turned on, and watch for what you install!

Yeah I remember when Morpheus switched over. That was a sad day indeed, cause the new network was diabolical

I find that not a lot of people like Soulseek. but I find it really useful because when you do a search, it finds complete albums so saves alot of hassle. I have no problems with it being slow as it tells you the average download speeds for whoever you are connected to, so if you don't like the look of the speeds then you can switch to someone else.

Another big reason for me using it is that I can connect to people I know real easily, which is really handy for transferring files to your mates etc.

I also like how you can ban whoever you like from downloading from you Generally people who aren't sharing. The only drawback is that you can't download the one file from multiple sources But I have found that on Soulseek, people tend not to disconnect very often for whetever reason.

I've found soulseek good for finding really obscure music that otherwise is really hard to find. Which in my case is pretty much everything I listen to.

Agreed Soulseek is tops at the moments for me

Main reason is that you download from one person, rather than building the file from multiple sources (as in Overnet/Edonkey).

So much faster transfer speeds than any other P2P software that I've used.

However it is good to use another (Overnet for me ) in case you can't find something using one program.

I must have tried most of the file sharing programs out there and when it really comes down the stability and file availability there is only 1 program that works for me.

Direct Connect

I use the DC++ client as it has a neater interface and looks more clean than the original DC client.

What it does is it downloads a hub list and there is thousands of hubs. Some with 5000+ users on them. Then you find 2 or 3 hubs you like and connect to them.

I normally reside on a star trek hub, A private 100gb share limit hub and a 150gb share limit hub.

I have never had a problem finding stuff I want on there. And if I can't find it I just browse a few other hubs aswell.
