Which is the best P2P software???

Hello friends!

Which is the best P2P software available. Obviously it shouldn't be harmful to the system, if possible, add free and should have the a really good database.

I had been using Limewire. Although its good in all other respects, but I have a feeling that the database should have been more deep.

there are hundreds of threads already running under this topic...search them...but i think LIMEWIRE PRO 4 still rocks !!!

Oh no not again.....
The same discussion over and over...

When u guys learn to search....

P.S. : Limewire pro 4.10 is the best and fastest...

I think limewire is also fevorite of this forum.

another vote for Limewire, another time :twisted:

Limewire Rules!!

I heard that BitTorrent is one of the best these days. So which client should I use to get the best results.

Torrent Clients such as BitComet and Azureus are very popular.If you mean site searching results then I recommend either of www.torrentspy.com www.bitenova.org www.desitorrents.com and www.bwtorrents.com (invite Registration only).

Oh!Btw My Traditional P2P vote goes to Kazaa Lite K++ Hands down.

Which would be a better client, the software available at the official website of bittorent or BitComet...

One more vote to Limewire.

I take back my vote to limewire. Doesnt connects now

Why it doesnt connect...
Check ur firewall...
Check for settings for proxy if u use privecy software like hide ip...

Also check that is there a service vsmon.exe running without Zone Alarm running in background.

Warez Rocks!

U

yes warez p2p is best

I just downloaded the Bittorrent software from the official site of Bittorrent. After installing it, I saw that what ever I try to search is actually searched using http interface in Internet Explorer. The website it uses to search is *search.bittorrent.com

If this is done through IE only, what is the point of downloading the software. Moreover, if I try downloading anything from the search results I get, it has an extension of .torrent. Now, how do I use files of this extension. Which software do I need to open these files.

Moreover, as in Limewire, do we have an option in Bittorrent also to search specific kind of files, i.e. images, video, applications, audio etc...

One more vote for Limewire ..... prefer torrents though

@go4saket

Bittorrent clients are more like download managers.
You use the browser (Opera, ie) to search for and download a *.torrent file (eg:- Software.torrent) on sites such as www.torrentspy.com

When you open the *.torrent file with the bittorent software it gets the info on where the file is located or distributed (site, server, or host pc) and starts downloading the main file (eg:- software.exe)

A *.torrent file is more like a link (or shortcut) to the main file.

A *.torrent file opens with a Bittorent software such as Azureus or Bitcomet.

In some sites you CAN search for specific types of data such as audio, video, software or ebooks.
Some sites even have catogories such as games, movies, top downloads, etc.

well no vote for ARES !!
i use it often so
i will go for ARES !!
well will also try limweware now !

How come no one's voted for Shareaza??

Since this thread is going on let me add too. I prefer torrents to traditional P2P's. I feel they are better for big files and have a larger database if you know where and how to search for them. I also feel more secure using a torrent rather than traditional P2P. Among the bittorrent clients I prefered BitComet a lot. But, I have heard about it being banned from many sites since it doesn't adhere strictly to Bittorrent protocol or something. Anyways it'snot available for my linux box. Now-a-days I use BitTornado as my BitTorrent client as I believe it has better features than oficial BitTorrent cilent. I refrain from usign Azureus,though it has lot more features, as it is too high on system resources as it is Java based.

my vote is for "emule" on p2p, its database is awesome and u ll feel hte power once u hav maintained a good ratio under the queue system! torrent? client is bitcomet... thou its banned by most forums! 2nd choice is azureus.

limewire is fast, but not good enough database!

Thanks Max_Power... Your's was a good help... Can you further tell me which are the sites where in we can search for these torrent files...

M

go4saket I don't think people will be able to give you the names of bittorrent sites openly cos they promote warez. You can look in "In General" section. Names of many such sites are mentioned and googling will also help. If we're allowed to give out the names here I will share a few I got.

limewire best

LIMEWIRE and TORRENTS JINDABAD...

Hey I used Ares & Limewire but still vote for Ares.
First preference for Azureus only as a client for Torrents.

The official bittorrent client is a bare bones client you shud go from some advanced client like azureus(requires Java Runtime Env.) or bit comet (has inbuilt search capabilty etc and is light on system than azureus)

I have posted a guide on BitTorrent. If interested, have a look...
