hello everyone I am new here and am wondering if there are any good free non p2p file sharing systems. I am on a wireless broadband internet service and cannot get any of the p2p systems to work with my ISP. Torrents will not even work and I am desparate to get something to work so that i can download some stuff. thanks in advance for the help
Which P2P systems have you tried so far? Bittorrent and ed2k ?
Why don't you give it a try with a usenet / newsgroups service?
Even have a go with some DDL's
i don't understand your question.

Restart client.
What about Filenger? If you can send mail it works...Quote:

A P2P-friendly VPN should get you through your ISP's traffic-shaping induced blockages, as well as un-firewalling your internet connection, and let you continue with torrenting or whatever P2P you are used to using.
Or, as already suggested, you can switch from torrents to direct-download/file-hosting/"cyberlocker" sites or usenet.
Just be aware that regardless of how you defeat the P2P block, a lot of wireless internet providers play hardball with heavy bandwidth users, so it might pay to research complaints about your ISP's policy and enforcement tactics.
May be you can use a seedbox.
I would think direct downloads would work fine, and do not see why newsgroups would be blocked.
If all else fails, have a friend download it and snail mail it to ya on a dvd...
Just kidding!
