Does anyone have any favorite, P2P programs that they would compare to the ever growing, and ever popular KMD, and K++?
May I suggest WinMX?
Quote:quote:What is WinMX?
WinMX is a FREE file-sharing program like no other. It allows you to connect, download, and share files with MILLIONS of other users through the decentralized WinMX Peer Network.

And unlike many other ‘peer to peer’ software providers, we respect your privacy and will never sell you out to spyware. When you download WinMX, you’re getting WinMX and only WinMX, no bundled spyware, no ads, no B.S.Features

Multi-sourced downloading for maximum speed on broadband connections
Auto-Complete feature continuously seeks out new download sources, even after WinMX is restarted

Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP
Pentium 166 w/ 64MB ram or better recommendedA helpfull program to stop leeches on WinMX:LeecHammer (zip file, 2.48 mb)
I actually have WinMX on my system, but find it extremely hard to follow, and it gives me a hard time. The pause button is cancel? When songs are ‘canceled’ they do not seem to start back up again, which is a real bitch. I do not know if it is because I am on dial up or what… but I cannot stand it.
go for IMESH lite (http://imesh-lite.net/)… its based on fasttrack network only… and it works really great… you can also go for emule availble at Kazaa Lite site… WinMX is ok but sometimes sux big time…
yeah i have to agree, i’ve tried most of the file sharing programs out there (i’m in a college dorm, they tried to cut off as many of these as they can… so we went searching)… i can’t stand WinMX. it takes forever to find what you’re looking for, its a confusing interface, etc etc. i’d suggest Ares, or Blubster. Blubster only handles .mp3s though… other than that its fast (if you’re on a good connection, i cant get it to connect at home on dialup)

Well I understand what you mean, except for me it was KaZaa. Couldn’t stand it! I could find things, but never get them. Same went for other programs KaZaa-like that I tried.
It is very uncommon when I can’t find something on WinMX that I want. I agree that it might be a little confusing at first, but once you get the idea it is so easy to use! (Just like a lot of new programs when you first use them…)ummm, even tho u can no longer download kazaa lite, u can still use the service, so u can just ask sum 1 who has the install file to send u the file 😀
uhh i jus sed u can still use the service, only u cannot download the file to install kazaa lite lol, jus get sum1 who has the file to send it to u 🙂
umm… ya, where did I say that it doesn’t work? take the extra inititive to read posts fully.
As for the point of the topic… people are going to go looking for something now that KL is toast.
and I’ll add in.. as with WinMX, I havent been able to download anything from it. I started searching, found things I wanted, and started downloading them, but, when I try to search for more, I’m guessing the downloading blogged it from searching. So I decided to “cancel” them until I found everything I wanted, but I wasnt able to have them start back up again. Very annoying >.< (dial up)

no detn8r, u didnt say u cant dl from kazaa, but i sed that u cud still dl and this is Evans reply
Kazaa lite can be downloaded at http://www.oldversion.com. The problem relies on updates, there wont be any in the up and coming years. oh, and Sharman Networks is planning to change the protocol forcing all k-lite users to download their newest spyware filled kazaa. In my opinion Sharman is shooting themselves in the foot because about 80% of k-lite users are supernodes and we all know with no supernodes there is no fasttrack network.
Or you can buy it for 30 bucks, and get spyware free…….
thus, point of finding a good replacement for KL.
I am confused… this news is sure tht no more K-lite, but is fastrack network also closing? it cant be, bcos Kazaa is not the only one using this network, Imesh and few others use the ame network too, do a lil googling on Fastrack Client and you will realise tht KaZaa is not alone on tht… how can they shutdown the whole network???
