recommend a good p2p client for me

[cnfuzzd]

Hey ive always been a big fan of gnutella, mainly because i like the open source, no spyware, and general concept of gnutella. I access it through gnucleus. However, since i got my new computer and have been redowloadig, it seems like downloads are taking an inordinant amount of time, not downloading completely, or simply unavailable. Could anyone recommend another good client to access free stuff with? thanks

peace

I've been told that the best way to do things is through IRC. However, I'm a noob and I haven't figured out to use it yet /images/graemlins/blush.gif

There are lots of IRC'ers on this board; someone will help you out.

If you aren't using torrents yet, I suggest checking them out.

If you still want to use a strict P2P type of client, go with Kazaa LITE. Kazaa stopped the makers of Kazaa LITE from distributing their version of Kazaa on the internet, but it's still out there. No spyware, and your user rating is maxed out.

That being said, I don't really use it anymore. Torrents are the way to go these days, IMHO.

[ThaSaltCracka]

def use torrents.

Cola what site do you use?

[cnfuzzd]

tell me more, o' wise one...im a child lost in the dark woods of technology...

I mostly use www.suprnova.org. (http://www.suprnova.org.) There are a lot of tracker sites out there, though. Demonoid.com isn't bad, for instance.

I suggest someone new to torrents should stick with suprnova.org.

[ThaSaltCracka]

go to this site (http://www.p2psecure.com/download_azerus.htm) and download azerus, it is a bit torrent agent, it will download the torrent for you.

To access some free torrents to download go to www.suprnova.org (http://www.suprnova.org) and search the site. Click what you want and it should start up azerus and start downloading the torrent for you.

Suprnova.org has a crapload of albums, movies, tv shows, pc and some video games, software, you name it, no porn though.

You definitely want to get into bittorents, but also check out Direct Connect hubs. DC++ (http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/) is the leading client for DC Hubs.

Here (http://bittorrent.com/introduction.html) is a short introduction to how torrents work.

Once you have a decent understanding of what torrents are all about, you will need a client. I recommend ABC (http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/). There are quite a few bittorrent clients out there, this just happens to be the one I use.

Both of those links should get you started off in the right direction. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

FYI, Cnfuzzd, I didn't read anything about it, I just did what someone at my work told me to do, and presto, it was done. Its really quite easy.

I like LimeWire but I'm gonna give torrents a try.

[ThaSaltCracka]

I have limewire, and the torrents are a lot better. I was actually having a real hard time find songs on Limewire.

NO PORN???? WHAT THE HELL?

Anyone who says anything about Kazaa Lite now has no idea what they are talking about. They may have had about 2 years ago.

Use Ares Lite (http://www.download.com/Ares-Lite/3000-2166_4-10288301.html?tag=lst-0-1) because it's good.

I note you have an interest in porn as well. While I personally would be unable to comment on the speed of downloading porn on Ares, I have heard that the porn file on my computer has grown increasingly large since I downloaded Ares.

Thanks. You do seem out to flame me at every point spam, but thats okay. I havent used K-Lite in a year and a half, and if you notice, I did recommend torrents.

But I'm sorry, I DO know what I'm talking about. I just wasn't aware of any new clients, such as what you are referring to. I know that I like torrents, and that's mainly what I suggested. K-lite worked fine for me up to the time I started using torrents, and I think it still works great.

(let me check)

Yep, still works just fine. It's hard to find a place to download it these days, however.

Thanks for your support, as always your flames are noted and appreciated. I can't expect much else from the UK.

I think he is atleast. I believe one time he said he was 18, and that wasn't very long ago.

TSC is right that I'm 18 but I'm not in high school.

I didn't mean to offend you, I wasn't aware that casting doubt on the recency of your p2p knowledge was the equivalent of a personal insult.

After your slur about people from the UK, however, I no longer have any qualms about offending you and I'd like you to know that I think you're a dick.

[ThaSaltCracka]

haha, you English guys crack me up. You all are so bitter, probably has something to do with still being ruled by a woman.

What do you know about Tony Blair that I don't?

I recently found a great filesharing program called Shareaza. No spyware, no adware, it's free and the downloads are fast and rarely corrupted.
