Which file-sharing program do you recommend? (nothing illegal involved)

mecharmor23 · September 30th, 2002

Which file sharing program do you like most? Which one is good and with few busy signals??

DIRECT CONNECT has requirements way to high.. can't connect without 50+ gigs for most servers. my HD is only 20gig.

KAZAA has good speed and very little busy signals but search results aren't very satisfying. Besides its spyware, I get popups every 5mins. gets irratating after a while.

EDONKEY has way to many busy signals. Lotsa good results but takes forever to wait for my turn.

LIMEWARE has this weird countdown waiting that makes you wait forever before you can even begin downloading. I have no sucess with this one.

What about you? Are you using a good file-sharing program that is not listed here? if so please reply with name of the program.
I'm currently using Kazaa btw.
Thank you

I use WinMX.

**Yeloazndevil** · September 30th, 2002

I like to use KaZaA Lite

metalgear · September 30th, 2002

I agree Kazaa lite very simple progam like Kazaa only minus the spyware.

Try the successor to edonkey, its alot better. You don't need to connect to a server, it works kind of like Kazaa but better for big files.

Its called Overnet

Vote #2 for WinMX, too bad it doesn't have a native Linux version though (but there's always WINE to the rescue!!

).

i use direct connect but then again i have a 80 gig hd and sharing over 40 gigs

anyways, i also use winMX and kazza lite a bit and their both great programs too

jegHegy · October 1st, 2002

WinMX 0wnz

nyaa

metalgear · October 1st, 2002

where can you down load WinMX? What kind of connetion do you need, hopefuly not a fast one.

**Kane** · October 1st, 2002

www.winmx.com surprisongly. I sued to use it on my 56k, but now I'm on ADSL, and it's cool.

If u want to share music: winmx
If u want to share another files: edonkey

Those are the ones i use
haven't tried overnet though...

gamezonline · October 4th, 2002

edonkey all the way and overnet two

**Yeloazndevil** · October 4th, 2002

i agree WinMX is good program to use for music

astroduck · October 4th, 2002

I use Kazaa Lite and Direct Connect. They are all good.

SomeUserGuy · October 4th, 2002

kazaa lite as my number one option, and winmx as my number two. winmx goes slow for me for some reason.

**Kellicros** · October 5th, 2002

Yeah, I prefer Kazaa Lite...

Esturk · October 5th, 2002

WinMX all the way doodz. Once you know how to use it, it's simply awesome....:thumbup: :thumbup:

metalgear · October 5th, 2002

I have winmx now. works great!

zukeft · October 6th, 2002

I've NEVER been able to get anything out of WinMX. It has a horrible GUI and most of what I want isn't really there. Maybe it's on the OpenNap networks?
