T1B

I had been using Kazaa, and was very pleased with the program. However, it made my computer run like shit, even when it was not running. So I finally had to ditch it.

I downloaded WinMX, which I have had before. I am extremely unhappy about the search results when looking for videos, i.e. porn. I don't get near the quality or quantity of results I got with Kazaa.

I have to use the "Make a Secondary Connection to the Internet" option because of the firewall in my router. Could this affect the search results? Is there anything I can do to improve this program's performance?

I'm ready to shit can WinMX in favor of something that sucks less.

Holy crap. 3 results returned from a search on "Mexican girls".

3!?!?

Terrible.

No the way you connect to the internet shouldn't effect your results. Its a different network and not nearly as popular as Kazaa. Kazaa is full of spyware. See if there is another client out there that can connect to the kazaa network...without the spyware. Then you'll be golden.

does that client exist?

also - isn't kazaa lite fairly free of spyware? Seems to be.

Also, if you have never browsed http://www.zeropaid.com/ do yourself a favor and bookmark it.

Just tried Shareaza...while I could find a lot of what I was searching for...actally dl'ing them was a challenge. Just kept telling me that it was connecting to the network.

Update - yeah, it sucks. I've tried to download twenty different files. I've two actually succeed in starting to transfer, but then it was only doing so at like 200 b/sec.

I don't know about your ISP in particular but there are a few ISP's that are throttling the bandwith for BT & P2P users.

Or implementing caps. :x

WinMX is officially on my"sucks ass" list.

So far so good. It's working much better than WinMX.

Thanks for the link.

Best music DL program I've used is limewire, but I would like a bit torrent client to replace loki and suprnova, because I have a couple of albums partially downloaded. I have some old albums and cds that sound like shit and I want to replace them so I can keep good copies, but the fucking music and movie industry is trying to make it totally illegal and they shut sites down. Fuck them. I'll go to court with my scratched CDs and old Albums in hand if I have to. I shouldn't have to buy it twice. It ain't bread or milk.

But in the meantime - whose got a good BT link?

If you own the CD, you can download the tracks legally. (fyi)

I can't argue against Limewire. I was using Shareaza, but this thread and one other made me think twice. I downloaded Limewaire and I have to say it rates a big 2 thumbs up.

That being said, if you like downloading full albums, WinMX still seems to have the most album wrap files of any of the clients I've tried. I'll be damned if I know why.
