SouSeek (http://filesharingtalk.com/index.php?showtopic=106882), works for me.

Hey, that rhymes!!!

i wouldn't use soulseek if I were you...it's full of bugs and the server is always down. that's right, they have only one server and it's down 75% of the time. the qeues are horrendous, and the so-called "community" they've developed is nothing more than a bunch of petty, foul-mouthed electro-junkies intent on wasting bandwidth with their over-sized 320KBPS mp3's.

Soulseek :D :D :D


second would be K-lite

Actually, Direct Connect and Soulseek are best for finding rare stuff. Both are pains in the asses to use but you find nice, wonderful things. :wub: But if you wanna find popular songs then Ares is a good option.

Use either SoulSeek or Clean Blubster.

I use Ares too.blue45 the best prog that i know for downloading music is Areslite.

[zippy_frog]

I don&#39;t know. The most reliable is probably WINMX but the selection is really crappy.

[delphin460]

i dont know if you guys have seen this b4 but i have found some realy good stuff on this program

Fastmp3search (http://www.fastmp3search.com/)

It uses only http to search and although the results can be a bit weird sometimes i find it pretty good and quick overall

Ares is way the best I have used.

It is what K Lite should have been if they were not dependent on Kazaa in the first place.

It looks and feels like K Lite but has some very nice features. And it is fast and has lots of files.

Lots of songs and no fakes as yet.

Digby

PS I hope they tighten up on users joining to sort of vet any clowns with fake files &#33;

I used Ares, it was pretty good, but I just went with the safe stuff just in case. And yeah, those f*cking fake files, they&#39;re pissing me off. I overloaded my computer and spent a whole day downloading Scarface to find out that it was just a fake. Bastards.

you can get the new releases from a number of sources, but i still go to the good old k-lite to find some older rarer songs.

[tralalala]

for music: Soulseek and K-Lite... nothing else.

and by the way, FastMP#Search is crap... works for 5 minutes then stops... rubbish program

:lol: :lol: good one

[SuperJude™]

Soulseek = full albums (though you can find them zipped on fasttrack of course)
IRC = anything and everything
K-Lite= if you can weed through the bullshit there are a lot of files out there.
Napster = just kidding....

-SJ™

[bilko]

i likes bearshare

[Orange_Boy]

Supernova.org ( bit torrent ) best for anything no fake no errors no viruse
kazaa lite is still good but its only good for music

1: It probably helps if you aren&#39;t running a beta.

2: The server may go down, but you can run the dl&#39;s you have going anyway, finding new ones is trickier with the server down, but it&#39;s hardly down all of the time, 75% my arse.

3: Horrendous queues is something I haven&#39;t noticed. It&#39;s probably a matter of checking more than one person for the files one wants. There&#39;s always people with a slot open somewhere.

4: foul-mouthed? that would be you, and maybe the wee kiddies in the mainstream-rooms.

5: Only person I know that rip at 320 is me, and the people I primarily did the rips for wanted it that way (people I know IRL), and most people have enough hd space to accomodate a few albums @320.


EDits:

Avoid Bearshare, as it contains spyware.
On-Topic: Try IRC as well.

[vivitron 15]

you could always try newsgroups - ive found a couple on there (though i prefer and use soulseek for all my music)
