thats why only fools use regular kazaa
They ain't even fool enough to be a fool. n_n
kazaa is bad. k-lite is bad. bit torrent is the best around.
There is no "Best" P2P, but, KaZaA is bad, it is cramed with spyware (like the article says) get KLR (KaZaA Lite Resurrection) if you use KaZaA.
Newsgroups, and a good newsreader are the only way to go for me, I still use bittorrent once in a while though.
IRC = Newest Files @ Fastest Speeds (waits required) KLR = Music (when bundled with MP3 Shield and Protowall) eMule Plus = odd files (at least for me). BT = little bit of everything.
sounds like a well rounded group to make everyone happy!
P2P has been going downhill for a long time now, no suprises here.
Hehe, not really, unless you like waiting in queues.
I still wish I knew how to use IRC for downloading. I can't seem to find anything out...
go here to get it to work on XP: http://www.newircusers.com/xp.html there are tons of tutorials on the web, just Google the term "Configure IRC"
Toiletman: True, you have to wait in ques for some busy files, but the majority of the ones I find don't require any wait. Besides, even with the ques, P2P doesn't compare to IRC as far as amount and variety of files, from apps to games to music...just about everything.
Thanks for the link, Pop_Smith, but the screenshots it has do not accurately reflect what I am seeing in my mIRC DCC Options window. The box that should say "DCC Ports" is not there and two checkboxes with "Flush Files" and "Show Warning" along with a "Max. Sends:" space are there instead. Should I be using an older version?
