emule.
it's slow but it gets the job done reliably. and i like
downloading .rar files of entire albums and libraries as opposed to
songs.
the RIAA can suck on a fat one.

If you can't find it on soulseek, then you have to be very lucky to find it somewhere else...

You guys are all tripping. It's all about Bit-torrents for
prog. Azareus is the best program for torrents. Do yourself
a favor and google it.

Why am I the only one who has problems with Soulseek?I get good search results but actually getting something to DL is another story.
Oh well....I have found a ton of good prog using Shareaza.

Not that I use or know anything about this program, but- Do you use a router to connect. If so you need to do some port forwarding on port 2234.

WinMx is no doubt the best (yes the patch works) because you can find
so many prog-related rareities from various continents. Nothing comes
near it for these type of finds, not that I keep those files, mind you!  I also use Soulseek where I found goodies not found elsewhere too, but it's much more limited than WinMx.

No problem with this discussion, it's just about software after all.
Just a reminder that the site msut not be used to facilitate or encourage file sharing.
Thanks.

Have to agree Dennis. The shutting down of the WinMx Peer network didn't affect me because I haven't connected to it for about a year. Using the OpenNap network connection only I have not been dissapointed- seems to be full of prog lovers.

A filesharing system, but one where you can only connect to specific users on it - that's not entirely accurate but in this instance it'll do, because it means only those on campus can connect to it, so as long as no one from the RIAA is studying at Surrey, we're pretty safe

What file-sharing program do you use?
