Your Favorite P2P Software

[AMD2NR]

First off I am not asking this question in any piracy related manner as we all know P2P apps have plenty of legitimate legal uses as well. The question that I am in search of an answer for is "What is your favorite P2P app and why?". The market is absolutely flooded with these applications right now and I, as well as many others I'm sure, would like to take a gander at what all is out there. Please keep your "why" free of any piracy related contant as that is policy here at TweakTown. Thx!!! :thumb:

Currently, with eDonkey , it supports several large networks, such as Overnet , Bittorrent , Gnutella (Bearshare, Limewire,etc), Gnutella2 (Shareaza), Fasttrack (Kazaa, Imesh, Grobster), Soulseek (beta), Direct-Connect (alpha), and Opennap (alpha).

don't use p2p much, except BitTorrent (Azureus Client), but you can get a few suggestions in the beginning of [this thread]

I can never seem to find any good hubs or if I do it's always queued.

Kazaa Lite K++ is illegal, just FYI.:thumb: It is good, though. (how would I know that? :o )

[DraGoN-BoY]

Kazaa isn't illegal, it's the content that people download thats illegal. Go Kazaa! Australian made. :thumb:

:rolleyes2
Kazaa Lite K++ and Kazaa are not the same thing.
In case anyone wonders what happened to kpp:

Isn't Kazaa Lite a version of Kazaa without the spyware?

Sorry to go off topic.

[Yawgm0th]

Admins are probably going to yell at me but...

Kazaa Lite (last time I checked) was a legal version of Kazaa you can pay for, that doesn't come with the adware and spyware Kazaa does. Kazaa Lite K++, however, was different. It allowed you to not share files, and have 1000 participation constantly. It had no spyware, and it had many other features that made it a drastic improvement of Kazaa Media Desktop. It was also an illegal, "hacked" (for lack of a better word) version and the sites distributing it were forced to stop (and some were shut down entirely). That said, we aren't supposed to talk about it on TweakTown.:no:
