I use two different P2P programs- Kazaa Lite and Gluz. Kazaa I use for videos and Gluz I use for music. Kazaa sucks for music, and gluz sucks for videos. I am getting annoyed at the configuration of gluz and the lack of music on Kazaa...so...I'm looking for a new P2P program. Can you guys recommend some?
Ares. It's been my favorite for a while now. I originally used Bearshare, but it ran really slow for downloads and such. I then went to Kazaa, which I just completely hated. Then a friend of mine who run AnimeAres.com referred me to Ares, and I've been in love ever since. I've never had a problem with music, except trying to find lesser known, unsigned bands. As far as programs, it works great. As for videos, I'm not really sure, as I don't download many, although I downloaded the MTV Icon: Metallica show and some Simpsons episodes, and they work great. Click Here for Ares!
Ares. It's the only P2P with actual sources. Unlike KaZaA and it's likenesses which have 0 sources online. Otherwise use bittorrent or IRC instead of P2P. There's less bullshit on IRC, a little more on Bittorrent, and P2P is full of it. I have yet to get a virus from IRC. (Except the one imbedded in the HL2 source code, but that was the group's dumbass release)
I use Kazaalite every once in awhile but I normally stick to IRC (its not a P2P program though). It's amazing.
i2hub defeats all, but you have to be on an Internet 2 college campus...so I doubt that applies to most here. Seriously though, nothing compares to it, usually 300 - 700 kb/s, sometimes in the mb/s, and has everything you'd ever want. Something else to look forward to when, for those of you who aren't already, you go to college.
be very careful using P2P programs on college campus's. My brother used gluz to download music and the idiots took away his internet until he complained about it.
The only P2P program I use is Kazaa Lite, and that's only for videos and whatnot. I use two non-P2p downloading programs, though; Albums/TV Shows/Movies - BitTorrent (Very high speeds 90% of the time) Individual MP3s - mIRC (Moderately high speeds depending on server)
i use e-mule. its pretty hard to get sources, but then again i have a 56k and all the stuff i download arent really mainstream songs/videos, which makes it ten times more difficult. but i downloaded the gwen stefani song pretty quick, so i guess its decent considering my internet speed.
my campus has a p2p network that I always try first since over the network, I can get a full album in 2 minutes. Then I go to Bittorrent if I cant find it on a campus computer
