I haven't used a p2p more then once every couple months for quite some time... the only one I have installed though is limewire so I guess that one :S

I used to have kazaa installed but it was evil so I burnt it at the stake and replaced it. MOstly I stick to bit torrents now instead of p2p proggies

Personally, I use Ares (http://www.aresgalaxy.org).

It is a really stable free p2p program with hundreds of thousands of users and best of all, it's quick loading and has no adware/spyware/viruses with it.

I used to use Shareaza, but I couldn't deal with the number of dead or half-completed files it allowed. It once took me two hours to download a 5Kb text file with the tutorial on Run commands. I know that wasn't shareaza's fault, but rather the user group.

Most P2P applications have viruses, adware, spyware or malware packed with them. I've used just about every single program so I'll make a helpful list of programs and their safety levels.

Name: Bearshare (Full)
Web Address: http://www.bearshare.com/
Risk Level: High

Name: Bearshare (Lite)
Web Address: http://www.bearshare.com/lite/
Risk Level: Low

Name: Kazaa
Web Address: http://www.kazaa.com/
Risk Level: High

Name: Limewire
Web Address: http://www.limewire.com/
Risk Level: Low

Name: Morpheus
Web Address: http://www.morpheus.com/
Risk Level: Medium

Name: Shareaza
Web Address: http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/
Risk Level: Medium

Name: eMule
Web Address: http://www.emule-project.net/
Risk Level: Low

I recommend Bearshare Lite or Limewire.

I personally use Imesh. http://imesh.com it is mainly for music downloads, but the version 5.0 lets you download whatever is available.

I have used it to get quite a few things, but yeah. try it and you'll find it out for yourself.

The Risk Level is probably Medium, everything i have downloaded has been virus free, but i have heard people are getting viruses are from it.

Im currently using Limewire, it filters out many of the obvious bogus files really well. I remember when I was using Kazza, all the downloads would give me a really high pitched eerie sound. Im assuming RIAA is trying to fill up the kazza with bogus files so people would stray away from downloading files. But since I found limewire, I have been having great results for my search for things. I have yet to find a file that I didnt keep because it was currupted or a bad file at the worst.

Limewire

Like a lot of people, I used a lot of P2P software. Basically, I've tried them all except for the Spyware-infested ones. I even used Morpheus and Kazaa, despite their enormous amount of Adware. And my personal favourite has been Shareaza since the first time I used it.

It basically has everything you could EVER wish for in a P2P program. It connects to the two best networks (i.e. Gnutella2 and eDonkey), it support BitTorrent downloads, it handles most every other extension for P2P downloading (e.g. Azuerus Links, Magnet Links, etc.)

It's a little hard to configure for novices, but the help files available on the Website make it a breeze to set up everything.

I don't use P2P programs anymore, my computer is always getting the same virus on it whenever I use one. :P The first one I used was Kazaa, and that had a lot of bugs and imcomplete and/or missing files. Then I used Limewire, which worked pretty well although I can't remember why I stopped using it. ;) After that I started to use Morpheus which offered quite high speed downloads but also tends to send you viruses. :P

LimeWire PRO all the way!!!!!!

its the best P2P software, but too bad P2P is illegal! Just make sure u got McAfee or something or some files may be virused, but at least theres no ads.

Does limewire have an IP logger in it?

P2P is NOT illegal. This is a major misconception that people have, especially due to the media crap that's been going around. And even more than that, it annoys me too much that people do something that they know is illegal... and if that's not enough, they tell everyone about their favourite tool to do this thing which they believe is illegal :P.

P2P is a way for people all around the world to share "things"... that's the concept. If I want everybody to download my pictures, my homemade movies, my OWN music album, my stories, or even my temporary Internet files, there's nothing illegal about that.

But if I use P2P to download block-buster movies, the new Shakira album, or a version of Microsoft's Windows XP, then that IS illegal.

To sum it up, P2P in itself is a great thing... it's what people do with it that alters its image. I hope that clarified things a bit ;).


Cheers.

The only ones i have used are Kazaa and Limewire.

I had kazaa for a really long time and it was ok, i would get viruses through it but my virus detector would stop them as they came in so it was never really a problem

when i finally found limewire i fell in love

no more high pitched screetch in sound files, good search results, faster downloads

I use limewire right now, even though i really never download anything through p2p networks

I’ve been using bittorrent for a while now and it is phenomenal as far as speed of downloading. I’ve tried other and found them unreliable and it’s hard to protect your computer when you are using them. Just search on any search engine and you should be on your way.

Definitely Limewire.

It's really fast, most of the downloads are on a T1 or T3 connection...

The files are sometimes five or ten seconds short, but hey- that's what I get for using P2P instead of buying music :unsure:

It's overall good, also has lots of video (too much pr0n) and different file formats like mp3, wma, etc.

plenty of goodies- even smaller bands have some tracks on there. Good pickings for anyone who needs some new tunes.

I usually just use it for individual songs, and support the conglomerate monster of an industry by buying CDs. haha- that's how I roll.

I use eMule, it has so little virus that it makes Limewire and all that look like virus.com (which is incidentally anti-virus...but still). It also has NO SPAM and NO RANDOM ADS and it's free.

Which Is The Best P2P Client ?

SHAREAZA!


For all those still reading these posts, I now recommend Shareaza version 4 novices or version 2.3 for the more experienced.

Version 4 has an easy to use interface, looking similar to itunes and limewire. It still has all the classic shareaza features, like bittorrent and the Gnutella and Edonkey networks, and not to mention the in built media player which lets you preview files whilst downloading, and which I also find extremely handy rather then having to open itunes or windows media everytime I want to play a song.

I've been using ARES. I have had no problems for over 2 years, no viruses, adware, or spyware. Some files download quick others very slow, it depends on the users not the program. If 30 people have the same file, the system dowloads from all of them for lightning speed, but it can also be very slow coming from a single source. Lately, downloads remain "in queue" for a long period then loose the connection. So I'm also looking for other programs but I will not be deleting ARES from my sytem.

You should all use frostwire!
Check homepage

P.S.: turbocharged connection is free and no ads, viruses etc. I think it's also open source

Christine, legal or not relies on you.
If you paid for a software, it's legal to download it from anywhere by all means.
If you didn't give money to the guy who created the software, using shareza in order to downlad it is illegal. ;)
Now, concerning the virus and spiwares, this fully depends from your provider. Some servers offer pirated software, and inside the software you get a lot of spywares or sometime viruses. This is also part of the anti-piracy war.
So, the problem is not inside shareza, the problem is which software you download from where. :P

Well people, don't argue too much about the issue.
The most important thing about p2p program is that it must be free and fast.
That's it, no more questions!
And the only p2p client that has this feature is "FROSTWIRE".

Which Is The Best P2P Client ?

If you wanna download quick than you should forget p2p
Shareaza sucks
Limewire sucks
Bearshare sucks
Emule sucks
Sucks sucks sucks
They **** all
They have all problems

I use usenet 10.000 times faster that that stupid p2p
I realy don't understand why people using p2p it is slow and have always problems is it because they don't understand usenet ?

Usenet is not free... Only a few ISP gives free access to it.
ISPs here in denmark (and the most of EU) dosent give free accsess to it.

So what do you do... Download a free P2P program ofcourse.

There is Cabos P2P its not fast but uses 4 gnutella engines.
Its really an lightweight prog. And complete without malware.
Its opensourse and compleatly free.

Ares is one of the good ones if you ask me.

Bearshare dosent use so much CPU use than limewire...
But I dosent really know it to speak about it.

I had tryed Limewire basic/pro and think its dosent find alot of what I'm searching for, however it finds alot of small (under 2 mb)fake files that dosent have something with my search to do or even worse can be malware.

Programs like Kazaa and Morpheus sucks both... Thats it
And remember to have an good antivirus BEFORE downloading an P2P!

Frostwire is a free open-source version of Limewire. It has all of the things you have come to know with Limewire Pro but without the bull**** and its FREE.

I've tried almost every p2p client.. But it's hard to point out which is the best p2p software.

Vuze is great but uses too much system memory. Well this one's cool, especially for downloading movies ...

Limewire, Frostwire & Mp3 Rocket are good for downloading music...

Utorrent & Bit torrent are light and uses very little system memory. Easy to use and fast... Highly recommended...

Still there are lots  of other good p2p softwares but most of them don't have enough peers and  download speeds are inconsistent..

The surest & best way to speed up your downloading (100% guaranteed) is to get a[img]/txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley4.Gif[/img] faster connection [img]/txtmngr/images/smileys/smiley4.Gif[/img]. The good thing about P2P is you can always get the latest stuff...
