"BIT" WHat!?

Ares is dead, Last time I tried to use it you get next to no results, all that comes up is crap, the speeds aren't what they used to be either.

 

DC is awesome if you know some good rooms (Is Romster Hub still up?, that place was the crap back in the day)

 

How is eMule? Last time I used it was when all the raids where going on and all the good servers got shut down, is it back to its former glory?

Firstly, I think Gryph is confusing eMule over eDonkey. eDonkey was utter crap. eMule is great, and you can find lots of rare stuff over ed2k. Just grab it and a list of servers from eMule's site and it's still great, speeds are decent. ed2k still has its say on the P2P scene.

But the last thing you should use is crap like eMule.

I can agree with that.

 

I think I used eMule many many years ago, only to delete it after 30 minutes. And all the servers are run by Germans. True effin' story.

I was playing Swat4(yeah, i know) while azerues was running and I have had no problem at all....

Im hearing it eats alota RAM(I tihnk?) but I have has no such symtom.

I never had a problem using it even while playing video games although I don't play many resource consuming games

I can't say I like Azereus or any java-based app. much at all. While java may make cross-system compatibility easier, the apps are generally slow and bloated (limewire ^^).

 

I really like utorrent given it's small size, excellent usage of system resources, and that it doesn't include an installer (I hate installers more than anything ever). The only down-side of utorrent is that it is closed-source.

Someone said legitimate P2P? .. ?

[alexis]

yeah it doesn't necessarily need to be illegitimate stuff, you can also get open source programs and publicly available music or books

 

like for example linux programs and books and mp3 from underground bands who make some of their work available on the internet,

 

speaking about music bands....radiohead that has their latest album available on the internet and you pay whatever price you put to the disc so if you want you can just download it for free or pay $100 for it depending o how much is their work worth to you

I paid 7 pounds, more of a symbolic cost imo, Wizard got the collector's edition whatever.

 

Speaking in eMule's defense, it's all how you use it really. eDonkey, the official client was the one that was evil crap crap.

 

And if you want a Limewire alternative, Frostwire does the job better, and with a lot less bloat to boot.
