Second Greatest Filesharing Program

[LINDOREZ]

Its got to be bittorrent, maybe IRC if i want movies first (even though you have to wait a week in a que)

[toddiscool]

I do nt understand why direct connect does not get more love around here, I mean no queing, spen some time and you can easily have 3 100 kb/s transfers running. I understand it is not for average or low shareres, but or those of use with that second 80 gig hardrive it is the best filesharing around (maybee tied with k-lite) completly diffrent strengths and weaknesses.

I use

EarthStation 5 (poor layout and lack of files but I'm still waiting as its got quite a bit of potential)

I've tried

DC++ (not a good idea for 56K'ers and since I burn most of the stuff I d/l onto CD its almost impossible to get onto a hub)

Limewire (the P2P program I tried first of all but stopped after finding Kazaalite)

Emule Plus (installed it found lots of stuff but couldn't download any of it due to some sort of sharing system and so deleted it)

IRC (couldn't really get the hang of it so didn't bother after the first attempt)

Win MX (downloaded it after reading about it around these forums but I didn't really get along with it and deleted it)

There are others like Shareaza to try and stuff but for the moment I'm sticking with Kazaalite.

Totally agree

[The Knife Thrower]

The programs I use in order of best program first:

Kazaa Lite
Emule
Bittorrent

[Illuminati]

I don&#39;t rate P2P programs on how good they are compared to others, mainly because some get some types of files better than others. I do it as in &#39;Good for <insert filter>&#39; or &#39;Just plain crap&#39;

But I digress - Here&#39;s what I use.

Kazaa Lite - Small files (i.e. less than 100MB), especially miscellaneous files (e.g. e-books)

eMule - Larger files that need to be more stable copies (e.g. CD images) Note - I said eMule, not eMule Plus; I had a few tries with that and in the end I just said stuff it and went to the original.

BitTorrent - Exceptionally large files (e.g. The Sims 7 in 1), and especially movies (not BitTorrent++ - Been a few problems with it around the place)

I might try Soulseek next, but one step at a time

I thoroughly recommend Soulseek. Not only can you download full albums, but you can also chat to fellow k-liters (either in the main room or in pm) while your downloading.

And you are more or less sure that the files arnt fake

[NotoriousBIC]

Recently I almost exclusively use Bittorrent. By far the fastest of them all for me (broadband). Lately I&#39;m using the new Private Tracker a lot (Which I thoroughly recommend, see my sig)

I use IRC and/or Newsgroups if I want something new fast and Direct Connect for everything else I can&#39;t find on the rest.

E-Mule for games....and Kazaa lite for porn&#33; I mean films and things
