peer to peer networks

[Martin T]

Anyone know of a decent peer to peer network that had a good range of files? (like some non manistream stuff :rolleyes: ) Kazaa is crap for this and so is WinMX

[richardg]

BEARSHARE.COM is worth a try. It's faster than kazaa aswell

I have been using Direct connect for about 18 months which is awesome if you have appz to share.

need to download a small app from http://www.neo-modus.com/

If your serious about trading, go underground and get DirectConnect - its a collection of communitites and you log directly onto peoples share directory and take what you like!
Beware though, some request 20GB of shared data (which I dont have!) so I only make it into the 2GB share rooms.
YOu do a search like before but its all decent stuff.


Also, if you wish to use Kazaa, get Kazaa Lite - no its not a crap version of kazaa but it puts your share status to 1000 so you have access to more stuff and you dont have any adware - plus theres some cool tools in it too (like the kazaa file viewer)

edonkey2000 mate everytime :)

www.edonkey2000.com for the download (ver 0.47 currently).

It's a hybrid between two networks, edonkey and overnet. Go to www.sharereactor.com for an index of some of the stuff thats on there. New films / games / Pr0n ;)

Try Edonkey, but also try:

Overnet
Emule
Emule +

They all use the same network, but for some reason one client might be better (quicker than others).

Like Emule+ is for me.

[Pauly_Boy]

Yup, e-mule is my one of choice at the mo!

Kazza is good for music vids tho :)

[amcluesent]

Kazaa (Lite of course!) good for mp3/divx and seems to have the most servers with high upload bandwidth. But I've experienced lots of corrupted ISO and .EXE files, so avoid it for appz.

eMule, generally takes a lot longer to transfer a file but appz work :-) My technique is to do a global search for .nfo files that more that 50 peeps are sharing, then see what's available from many sources. (plus use jiggle and sharereactor)

Use the DC++ client for DirectConnect network, and try some of the UK hubs then get the file lists of people with big (>100Mb) shares to see whats available. Downloading not very smart - can't pull from several sources and dies if the server goes offline. (Or have I missed something?)
