Oh well....I have found a ton of good prog using Shareaza.

 
if you have Windows XP Media Pack 2 it blocks the ports that allows you to download files from soulseek, you can only download if you have windows media pack 1.  I advise you to try a new program to download music like Bit Lord or Bit Torrent

Soul seek is my  #1 file sharing program. Everything I need about prog is there. I'm having some problems with my router at the moment so I'm not downloading much.

I like your avatar, Heptade. Be Bop Deluxe is a highly underappreciated band, in my opinion.

Anyone mention Drumbeat yet? There's not a prog item I've not found yet,
although it sometimes takes a while. Very reliable.

NewsBin Pro and Usenet. I've discovered a lot of great music that way, and many lesser-knowns have made sales based on getting me hooked (if it's really good, I like to own the original).

I don't use any because:

1. my dial-up connection sucks   

and

2. if I need mp3 I go to the local flea market and buy cheap mp3 CDs with many obscure and old prog rock goodies.

Soulseek is completely different to Limewire. If anything, it's more like DC++ than normal P2P, except you're not restricted purely to the hub, and it's more oriented towards electronic music.

I got scared when I saw people naming off pieces of crap like Limewire and Soulseek. Fortunately, a small string of DC++ occured. You can use BT sometimes, but DC++ is easily the best tool around for grabbing music... which isn't illegal where I am, not that such a thing would stop me.

I used to use eMule.. Everything I searched for was there, compiled in a nice RAR.

Though, due to my gonvermnent who voted for a new anti-sharing law and other sh*t like that I nowadays use Soulseek. Can't say I'm happy with the change, yet I cannot say as well I'm in pain about it..
