What Replaced Napster??

Also WinMX does not know what kind of connection the user is having.

If a person wants to mark himself as T1 while he has a 28.8 modem in reality, MX will show him as 'T1' user.

Morpheus and its multi-user spanning download is pretty good, I've got up to 80kb/s speeds from there.

How come I'm the only one using Limewire?  Are these other that much better?

The problem with all the gnutella clients and their ilk, is that when you find a file you would like, even if there are hundreds of instances of it, you will only DL it from one person.  

With Edonkey, you will be DL'ing chunks from as many people as have the file available, resulting in much faster DL's and you won't tie up someones connection for as long.

Try it.

Hey Furious... Kazaa works in much the same way.

iMesh is decent, too.

There's a lot of peer to peer programs out there: here's a page with links to some:

Of course, I don't use them to find copyrighted music: I'd never for a second contemplate stealing somewthing from the overpricing music-as-a-factory-produced-item, no good, lying, stinking, freedom hating union of labels.

That's why I also recommend AudioGalaxy:

The Audiogalaxy Satellite is a small and simple program that allows you to share your music with friends and other users on Audiogalaxy. Never worry about resuming incomplete files. Once somebody comes online with the file you requested your partially downloaded file will automatically resume even if its not the original person you downloaded from. Audiogalaxy servers automatically choose the closest person who has the file you want. This makes life easier for network admins at corporations, colleges, and ISPs by reducing external bandwidth usage. The program also supports resume , in case your modem gets disconnected.

I really miss the old Morpheus, where you could specify the bit rate for MP3's.

As far as I know, AudioGalaxy is now the only file sharing program that will let you specify the bit rate... and actually get some results.

Having used most of the programs mentioned above, my vote goes for Morpheus, specially if you are into movies as well... works perfectly fine with audio, and it's just the same as Kazaa but without the spyware.

It's also grreat to find Saturday Night Live clips

LOL your right FD-ski, but then you never saw me bashing the russians. I'm a honest pirate, ask me & I'll admit it.  


KaZaA is on my machines, maybe not as fast as some of the others, but very dependable. Nice feature set, mp3 player, playlist mangager etc.

[SunKing]

someone please explain spyware.

[CyranoAH]

Spyware is something that sends data about your computer, your preferences, what you look for when you use the program, etc...

Depending on the software, it can consume a lot of uplink bandwidth and most people very much appreciate privacy, so if you are one of them, try to stay away from those programs.

In some programs, you can reject the use of this "included" spyware, as in Roger Wilco, but in Kazaa you have no saying in this.
