I know that P2P softwares can be dangerous on any PC
But can't do without it!

I am a download maniac who is in search for new software/song/video/etc. always................................

WELL....................................
Which is the best P2P sharing application that can get me the best results........... I had been using Kazaa but it S-U-C-*-* !
It takes hell lot of time 2 load and gives poor download speeds !

I wanna know if there are better apps out there that can connect 2 many P2P networks and give me proper results !

I've heard of TORRENT recently !
Is it worth trying out ?
If I want to, what do I have 2 do ?

CONFUSION........CONFUSION........CONFUSION........
What 2 do ......................
Life is full of it !

Shareaza of course is the best

yes, torrents are worth download but the problem is that you have to upload the same thing that you are downloading

Ares is the best , IMO.
Even DC++ is good.

Have to tried downloading using IRC? It's the best way to download...

BitComet for me. I love Bittorrent. Works great for me and I am able to find all files.

Btw, whats wrong with uploading? If you dont have an upload limit, then it should be fine. After all, all p2p networks thrive on a share-all culture.

I think after limewire started to hog system resources due to java and stuff,i went looking for a similar program and founf cabos.its an opensource thing and is very light and usable.
Bearshare light is very good and so is ares.
