trueblue · 18-01-2005, 10:24 PM

just out of curiosity

what download programs do you use to download music software ect ect...

example.. kazza

Smoked · 18-01-2005, 10:25 PM

Kazaa lite, or i use torrents, which is really a program, more of just a direct download.

Racecraft · 18-01-2005, 10:35 PM

win mx is good

XR8GRL · 18-01-2005, 10:37 PM

Soulseek. Used to use Kazaa Lite aswell but after the comp shit itself, can't seem to get a hold of it.

**cs123** · 18-01-2005, 10:38 PM

I use Limewire

neb · 18-01-2005, 10:40 PM

i was using kazaa.. but now using bearshare.. seems to find stuff and download quicker.

edonkey/emule/overnet

Paris Hilton · 18-01-2005, 11:26 PM

Limewire for music/apps

Soulseek for rare music

Bittorrent for movies/anime

morpheus, when it works.......

FordFan86 · 18-01-2005, 11:32 PM

I use kazaa lite.... normally find anything... some things are hard and there is a lot of corrupt files around...

Yum-Yum · 18-01-2005, 11:33 PM

Shearazaa.

rodderz · 18-01-2005, 11:33 PM

Lately i've used WinMx, Kazaa hasnt worked for me for ages...finds a song but download never starts!

mick.wheelz · 18-01-2005, 11:36 PM

Shareaza, works a treat

lv619 · 18-01-2005, 11:55 PM

limewire... finding a little slow lately so i may go searching for something else.

M14A-Mclaren · 18-01-2005, 11:56 PM

Limewire rocks and Bittorrent always find what I want. Limewire flys if you get pro and I use Azureus for bittorrents nice interface easy to use lots of options

champsky · 18-01-2005, 11:58 PM

i used to use winmx but it sucks big time now guys

i use ares now, on dial up i can do 3 175mb files in a forghnight on and off, i only dload at night when im sleeping

www.aresgalaxy.com i think is the site :P

carratt · 19-01-2005, 01:51 AM

I use mirc all the way. You can get the quickest downloads and has everything you could imagine. Just not exactly user friendly for all those noobies.

XR Martin · 19-01-2005, 01:55 AM

I use Emule. If its not on there its unlikely to be available anywhere else.

Same here, takes a bit of time to get your head around if your just starting out. It has the best download speeds out of everything else I've tried and you can get practically anything you want if you know which servers and channels to go to. ;)

There's a real easy way to find what servers to use. just go to packetnews.com and enter what your looking for. It will display your search results, just click on the file you want and will take you to the server and channel needed. just hit "control + v" when in the channel and will paste the xdcc send request. Hope that makes sense.

Kazaa installs too much memory intrusive crap on the computer... gotta hate the gator adware! I've been using WinMx, but it's not been friendly lately... I'll be looking at the other programs mentioned here, for sure!

AdzT3-146 · 19-01-2005, 01:15 PM

Used to use Limewire until it crapped itself a couple of days ago. so back on to kazaa lite. might give ares a go

trueblue · 19-01-2005, 01:33 PM

I think ares has slowed down alot from what it used to be.. it takes longer to search things somtimes and ques alot of the time

Paris Hilton · 19-01-2005, 03:39 PM

IRC never works for me, i drop below the cp limit and the download drops out, then i try to resume and it never reconnects unless i delete the downloaded portion :(
