Ok i used to use shareaza for my filesharing, but it kinda sucked... i dont really understand torrent use tbh, just a case of me being lazy... any ideas on the best client?
best P2P?
- Thread starter Foehammer2003
- Start date
i would highly reccomend ares, very quick at finding files, and has a good source, and you dont get loads of rubbish like you do with shareaza, very worth looking into

lol there are legitimate reasons for using p2p y'know, underground mix's being one that i mainly use for, unsigned bands and copyright free music (it does exist y'know).... loads of LEGAL file share oppourtunities, also great for sample sounds... which is another use for me. A good mate and i often use samples i get on his keyboards and other equipment, but found the Shareaza app kinda dried up on results recently, hence the thread.
Codecs and games DEMOS (yes legal ones hosted by the client) as they are faster to download than from a lot of sites who charge a sub to have a fast download speed. I know that p2p has a reputation synominous to illegal activities, but is not always the case

I've tried a load of different p2p programs but the one i prefer is limewire.

I'm with bittorrent too, much better
Personally I use uTorrent, it's simplicity incarnate. Only 150K and a very small memeory footprint when runing. Ok so it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but seen as I'm only a 'every now and then' P2P user it suits me just fine.
I also use a record store (online of course), but for getting legal torrents such as OpenOffice I use uTorrent!

I'll stick with my record store. The latency's pretty high but the bandwidth is amazing.Foehammer2003 said:dude did you not read my above post?

What content are you wanting to download?

I use eMule, with little problems. I particulary adore the fact that I can be on the bus, think of a song and have it downloaded by the time I get home - courtesy of MobileMule. 
Having said that, I'm constantly open to better applications.
