What is the best file sharing app ? ....

drummer · Post by **drummer** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 4:23 am

That is clean , doesn't eat up the resources , easy to use , not a torrent , and has the best content . I'm trying to keep the end user away from loading Kazza on thier own .

If I could share a keg with you guys over the net , the beers are all around .

I use them , but the users are kids . They are used to Kazaa type apps .

Torrent rules , and I wish I had the patience for E-Mule and Donkey . I use Ares , but I still am not sure it's completely clean yet . Plus , it's seems every time I run it , my browser can't load certain pages ( like Yahoo ) , and times out with Firefox .

For music I use Limewire, and I have never had a problem.

I've never had a problem with WinMX and to date haven't heard of the RIAA suing them yet.

I've tried that app , but I could never figure it out , or really had the patience to figure it out . Know of any shortcuts ?

Yeah , I know that part , but it's the enque function , and not being able to resume the download is what got me . :P

Trying it again though .

In Cue is basically the waiting list for that particular pc / song.

One trick I do is to click the any connection button and trim my choices to Cable or faster.

Depending on how bad I want the song(s) I'll let it sit overnight and get through the list.

The latest software will pick up the song from another source if you get discon from the primary.

I've never had any luck finding any software anywhere!
can somebody help a brother out :P

I just went to check on winmx, and limewire. Both seem to be pay sites now!! .99 a month?

I did a search and every download site out there was charging money, advertising it as "free and legal"

also, supernova is a pay site, and lokitorrent has a warning from the movie industry as its front page.

What in hell is the internet coming to?

You said it. I must've bumped into sites that were trying to make cash with those progams. Tonight I find em all free.

must have been the beer. ;)
