So, Ares, Limewire and Morpheus just don't cut it anymore. Fellow P2Pers, What programs still work, and if the said programs work for you..
How the hell do you have them configured? Thanks !

That's not a good solution if you want the popular stuff. That network is only good for hard-to-find stuff.franpa wrote:emule... if you have a router just forward the ports listed in the help file... its pretty much edonkey2000 without the ads.
Torrents are the way to go these days.

Bit Che and Azureus work incredibly well. Bit Che searches a bunch of popular Bittorrent sites and Azureus is probably the most fully featured Bittorrent client around. uTorrent is also supposed to be good because it uses very little memory. You do need to forward some ports for any BT client to perform well, though.

Last time I used Azureus, it didn't have a built in search future.. But, would they let me download individual files? For example, mp3s?AntoineWG wrote:Bit Che and Azureus work incredibly well.

uTorrent lets you select individual files from a torrent to download. But if the torrent maker stuck every file inside a ZIP, you're out of luck.
Get uTorrent. Stay the hell away from the official BitTorrent client, it has virtually no features, is buggy as hell, and constantly forces you to update it.

Bitcomet. But use 0.70.. because the other versions experience random fuckups.
Also.. dc++ might work. But I don't use it much these days because various idiots mess up the hubs with pr0n and virazes.

Bitlord and Bitcomet are blocked by a lot of trackers. DC++ was more trouble than it was worth the last time I tried it.Oskar_Hanberg wrote:Bitcomet. But use 0.70.. because the other versions experience random fuckups.

I personally use BitComet (Windows) and Azureus (Linux) for my torrenting needs.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

Az also lets you select the files you want to download. Full of all the best features, just a memory hog, but how many of you are really using all that memory to it's fullest? I don't remember ever maxing out my 4 gigs or even going over two gigs ever.

Another Bittorrent Client is what the official client should be: easy, small and nice. It can take about 40 meg of ram, though, which is about a third of Azureus (Java ftl).
But, damn, the official one sucks.
Best P2P system by far, is WTB.
fo real.

BitComet does this, and also allegedly reports itself as a full seed to the tracker when it completes downloading the selected set of files. I only have hearsay from a few user accounts on a closed torrent site that recently banned it, and no objective tests to prove whether or not it does it. (Oh wow, so the server's torrent stats report a complete download that wasn't actually complete, which isn't so bad. Now, if it also reported this person as a seed in stats, or in scrapes by other clients, causing real seeds to leave... Moo.)ReRuss wrote:µTorrent if you need individual files (is able)

Still BitTorrent. And occasionally eMule for really old stuff. (PS. If you're feeling sneaky, you can configure your eMule client to use a different pair of ports for TCP and UDP communication, and you think your ISP is filtering P2P crap but isn't smart enough to use packet matching algorithms instead of throttling specific ports.)
And then there's this DC hub that some friends run that's always full of lots of stuff that I'm never overly eager to download, and sometimes I feel remotely guilty because I don't share anything. I don't use this or any other hubs with any regularity.
