That's a pretty broad question. What kind of stuff do you download, and how much do you know about filesharing?

Napster & WinMX & Audiogalaxy FTW......Oh those glory days at the EasyInternet Cafe on Tottenham Court Road ;)

WinMX is still alive... sort of. "Life support" would be a more accurate description, but hey, it may work for some.

I came to know about these when Napster died around 2003 or 2004 so kinda missed it

u torrent 1.6.1 is the best torrent.

Napster was great! Also Kazaa but I lost interest in it once the amount of malware on it got uncontrollable

Too bad I hadn't discovered Oink's Palace in working years!!

There's What.cd now, which has 5-6 times more torrents than OiNK had back in the day, and can easily be joined through the IRC interview if you're willing to "study" a bit. Besides the nostalgia, I see no reason to regret not having been a member. :unsure:

It's not a torrent but bittorrent client.
As for being the best, well it's kinda hard to answer but it's the most popular one, that's for sure. At least on windows os.

Even more than the newer builds?

I generally agree with the "paranoia" of most people that choose to stay on 1.6.1, but that's an aging program missing the hundreds of fixes and new features available in the latest versions. You can always block the "call homes" using PeerBlock or the hosts file, anyway.

My mistake. I was referring my post to uTorrent in general, not some specific version of it.
I would be still using it (1.6.1) myself though, if it wasn't banned at most of the private trackers I'm part of.

P.S. 2.2 must be the most popular atm.

Limewire.

[Sushi007]

uTorrent for torrents
jDown for RS, MU, etc.............
ApexDC++ for the DC++ dowloaders

[Lins]

My favorite among many Audiogalax

utorrent.
Easy and safe...

It's as safe as the torrents you download. And that'd be disregarding all the "stats" backlinks you can find in the executable.
