What is the best P2P software available? Many to choose from (iMesh, Xolox, Limewire etc) but dont want to install them because of adware etc.

well i think eMule is good

i agree Emule Plus Rules!

well when i used to use windows i think emule,kazza,bittorrent,and limewire pro were the best and i thought Shareaza was the worst but each to their own. Now that im only using my mac now i use IRC and Bittorrent.

BitTorrent all the way, baby.

Gotta love how you can get whole seasons of TV Shows there. Saves a lot of VHS costs. (I know, I could get a DVD Recorder, but hey... CDs aren't too bad either, and with a TV-Out on my PC, it is more than good enough.)

EDIT:

Oh, oh! And you can also get TV-Show which you'd be unable to get otherwise (cause they don't show in your own country for some reason or another..) - but I'm babbling.. this thread isn't about that.

1 part I've to fix

shareaza connects to edonkey network.

also downloads torrent links.

and if a torrent file exist on edonkey/emule networks it downloads

so shareaza all the way.

mp3's are okay. but I hate the fact that it doesn't, most of the time display the bitrates. and these new copyright stuff are annoying

ShareAza is the best - stick with it.

Upgrade to v2.0 of it, if you haven't already done so.

It kicks a**, 'cos it supports many P2P networks.

It supports Gnutella 1 & 2, eDonkey2000, BitTorrent, and is also a good download manager (for http/ftp files). And this is just the beginning.

shareaza is the best IMO

for the same reasons prathapml said

These P2P programs mentioned before... any spyware associated with them?

Hello All,

I downloaded emule and when it tries to connect, it says YOU HAVE A LOW ID check ur network/config settings??

What is a low id/??? and where and what to do?

Thanks and regards

take care all,

Mutahir

@mutahir: You know, you should really read the topic before you start posting stuff. I don't think posting about your eMule problem has anything to do with "Best Peer-to-Peer Software"

These P2P programs mentioned before... any spyware associated with them?

i can speak for Shareaza, it doesnt have spyware, not sure about the others cuz i dont use them

search

Kazaa Lite K++ w/ Peer Guardian up and running - sweet combo, emule is just tooo slow

BITTORRENT

The best and most secure way i know to share files

just be careful getting the brand new stuff, or the popular stuff. Especially in the US. I got a letter from my ISP that i violated teh DMCA because I started downloading the Friends Series Finale because I missed. I mean seriously, if it was on TV.....

I'd use Shareaza, but you may want to get a good IP blocker to keep out those naughty people that want money from you...
