The study also discovered what many P2P users have known for quite a while now -- Gnutella is practically extinct.

Shows how intelligent the europeans and canadians are :P hehe
eMule is a nice app because you can be almost certain you get what you want, IE no BS files. The thing is slow as hell though. With Kazaa Lite I could get excelent transfer-speeds but with eMule they are quite low. If I leave it on though it will give me more available sources, but that´s only after waiting for hours.
Quote:My average speed for a file on eMule is 80kb/s, people need to realise that eMule is not like kazaa, there is work involved not just sit back and hit search!

It boils down to 3 main things: 1) Speed 2) Number of Search results 3) Ease of use I dont care much if you need a rocket science degree to find something.
Quote:Lucky sod :) Any idea of why my speeds are so terrible?

Quote:I consider that to be one of Kazaa´s finer features, the ease of use and "immediately ready to go"-experience for users like me who just download once in awhile. Now if only that damn thing worked.

eMule gives a much better selection for larger files than Kaaza. I have tried to find varios PC games via Kaaza without any luck. For example "Soul Reaver 2" and "Thief II: the Metal Age" I could not find them after many attempts on both Kaaza and iMesh. By going through eMule, I found what I wanted. End statement: Kaaza/iMesh/Grokster work good for common small files and eMule works best for large files. Also I havent been able to find many roms for Game System emulators via Kaaza, but eMule has just about all of them. On the other hand: eMule does require some tweaking, patience, and some time to learn the features. It took me about a week to learn the software in detail. Once you get past all of the technical stuff, I found it is actually one of the best P2P out there.
Yes i just back up originals that are scratched ;)
