How about Ares or Soulseek? If it wasn't for Soulseek I wouldn't have had half the music I have now because of the rarity of my music (I live in Norway and I lsiten to underground hip-hop from all across the world). Ares has gotten laggy latly tho.

[url="http://kceasy.com/"]KCEasy[/url] - A multi-network p2p client that uses the giFT engine (didn't work properly for me, I think my NAT is messing it up)
[url="http://www.aresgalaxy.org/"]Ares[/url] - A KaZaA like direct-download p2p app (gotten laggy tho)
[url="http://www.zeropaid.com/KaZaALiteResurrection"]KaZaA-Lite (Ressurection)[/url] - No doubt the most famous underground p2p app
[url="http://www.emule-project.net"]eMule/eDonkey[/url] - Seems excellent but I never got it to work properly for me
[url="http://www.gnutella.com"]Gnutella[/url] - I wish this network would be the reigning p2p network Would be so much easier
[url="http://www.slsknet.org"]SoulSeek[/url] - A must have for all underground cats (doesn't matter what genre you're in to)
[url="http://azureus.sourceforge.net/"]Azureus[/url] - This is my prefered [url="http://www.bittorrent.com"]BitTorrent[/url] app (uses Java)
[url="http://www.zultrax.com/"]Zultrax[/url] - Never tried this one but it looks interesting

Hope this list helps. Ofcourse there are plenty more p2p apps out there. A good starting point for p2p is [url="http://www.zeropaid.com/programs/"]Zeropaid[/url].

Newsgroups.
The best.

Beats anything else on speed pants down. Maxes out your bandwith easily,
no uploading whilst downloading (teh ultimate leech) thus more secure.

Not really easy to find stuff always but its well worth the hassle.
Also, older stuff might be harder to find.

And a smart guy dont rely on one app. only imo.

DC++ and BitTorent is evrything i need

I've just started using NewsLeecher myself and WOW, 450-510 KB/s constant. NewsLeecher & BitComet (DHT Network Trackerless download feature), pwnz.

I heard that Limewire is really good, but I can't test t since it relies on Java.

And I hate Java so I removed it.

Torrents seems best. Using bitcommet client now. have the option to select files from a album instead of downloading the entire album. I havent come across any client that can do this. If i', wrong correct me.

Tried dc++, but different hubs have different rules and share limits.

Havent uses ShareAza. will try it when i find time.

eMule for old stuff and mIRC for new stuff

Bittorrent: ABC
Direct Connect: Strong DC++

i've tested many many p2p apps, see my sig. currently I'm using:
[b]cabos [/b]for small files.
[b]bitcomet[/b] for all big and new files.
[b]eMule [/b] for all old and rare files.

I personally think bearshare is good and Emule theres a new release of Emule out eMule v0.46c Beta [url="http://www.nsaneproductions.com/index.php"]http://www.nsaneproductions.com/index.php[/url]

ED2K Network (been using eDonky before but switched to eMule recently because it is a lot faster at downlaoding, it takes up less ressources and overall bandwith - when browsing the web etc)

otherwise, I sometimes use Bittornado or ABC with multiple torrents

music - soulseek. [quality, and has many obscure stuff.]

everything else [anime, sometimes, if i can find them, complete albums, programs, isos, etc] - bittorrent [using Azureus]
