What's the best file sharing Peer2Peer program in terms of no spyware, speedy downloads, and tons of content? I've been using Kazaa Lite K++ for a while now, but it seems to be running out of steam. I can find the files that I want on emule, but that whole queue-system keeps me from ever being able to download a file. I could leave it to download for a week, like I'm currently doing for Mystaria, and it wouldn't even be half-way done.

I know about bittorrent, but the problem with that is once I find the file I'm looking for, most of the time it's no longer seeded.

Soulseek.

Soulseek is great for finding music now. It's REALLY picked up over the past 6 months. I use it constantly. That and IRC. IRC rocks, but you gotta' learn how to use it.

I still just use eMule.

For music (bootlegs, basically), I stick with FTPs and torrents.

I hate how everything is in queue on Soulseek. I've heard alright things about mynapster.

I DLed IRC a loooong time ago, but not for file sharing. I was just curious about it and wondered what it was all about. All I saw was a bunch of chatrooms in what looked like DOS Font, a bunch of stuff scrolling, weird colors, etc. It was very confusing like looking on the back of a TV dinner and seeing "Microwave Oven" instructions. I mean, which one do they mean? A Microwave? or and Oven? =( =*(

I haven't used IRC in a while (last time I used it regularly was when DALNet was thriving). What are some good servers to use for this sort of thing?

I still just use eMule.

The only thing eMule is good for is in complete rips of porn. It's way too slow to be practical for anything else.

What the hell is wrong with BitTorrent? It's the future of P2P dode.

I use Soulseek, Bittorrent, WinMX, and Imesh Lite.

Eh. I get what I want off of it within a reasonable period of time.

I don't really use P2P that often as it is.

There are thousands. Basically, what you do is go here: www.IRCSpy.com, search what you're looking for (i.e. Diablos Wants Lay) and you're going to get a list of servers that are currently hosting that file. If you're using the newest Internet Explorer, all you have to do is click on the packet name (i.e. #07 or #7) and IRC will automatically launch itself. Allow it to connect to the room the server is located at. Once you're in the room, press Ctrl-V and you will paste a generated request for the file you want.

See, when you click on the packet number, it automatically generates a request and adds it onto your clipboard; so all you have to do is CTRL+V and you're set. The message should look like this:

/ctcp Server1234 xdcc send #7

Thats what I was looking for, thanks!

Uhm, a microwave is just that - a wave of energy. A microwave oven is an oven that works by using microwave energy. If that confuses you, you should probably just steer well clear of IRC

are downloads on soulseek supposed to be remotely qued for over 10 mins? could it be that im using a network connection?
