direct connect...butyou'll need an extremely fast connection and lots of files shared...around 30GB, possibly more depending on what server you connect to.

thats one of the reasons why i dont use it. Its a shame really, i know someone who uses it and can max out his downloads :).

You've kinda mentioned all the best p2ps.

Why don't you like emule? Personally i like it sooo much better than kazaa/klite :D

:D well why do you want ppl to recommend other p2ps?

I can get faster speeds on emule than i could on kazaa for big files :) 65 out of 75KB is fast enough for me hehe.

i didnt like the "more sources needed" messages in kazaa, they bugged the living hell out of me, emules system works much better, as well as having a better hash system.
I guess it isnt for everyone, but its still not bad.

There is a couple of direct connect hubs, that allow 5GB, lots of users. Hard to get on for that reason, Always full. But direct connect is an wasy way to have you r connection maxed out. I often have a 350KB/s downstream runnin just through it.

I used to use something called Tesla, it wasn't the best as there wasn't anywhere near the amount of files on many other p2ps but I've gotten many games, movies and apps form there with no problem.

Edit: By the way there's a large list on cnet, I haven't check or tried any of them out but there's a list none to the less.

Get Shareaza, it's the best out there, stunning GUI, 4 in 1 networks, jam-packed full of features and it doesn't have ads/popups or viruses. Best of all, it's free!

Don't get DirectConnect, get the enhanced client DC++.

I agree with Amar I haven't really tested it for speeds but it is an excellent program.
