NIMO... safe surfing, and you don't need a firewall at all really IMO.

I use shareaza as well.

Adwarezilla != lot of extra features
Adwarezilla == lot of adware

Shareaza == lot of extra features (that's good)
Shareaza != Adwarezilla

(I think I must make my posts less scriptish )

BT is a very fast P2P program. It is very good for new stuff. But the one thing wrong with it is that it doesn't keep old stuff. Once the file gets a little bit old it disappears from the network.

I think Shareaza is crap. The Gnutella network sucks. And the Gnutella2 network will suck.

The Fasttrack network sucks. Kazaa has ruined it. Most things you download on Kazaa are either viruses or are corrupt files. Sig2dat stinks also. I don't like the magnet links either.

eMule is a very stable network for me. Its speeds aren't the best, but if there is any where you could find a rare file, it would be on eMule. eMule has corruption handling, meaning you'll never get a corrupt file do to downloading. The only way you would get a corrupt file is if the file that is being shared was corrupt to begin with.

Piolet is a very fast and reliable way to get your music. It is really good to find single releases, although you wont find all those rare or foriegn songs, like songs from NEK, etc.

And now to end with the best. mIRC. With sites like packetnews, xdccspy, etc there is no way you can't find anything on the mIRC network. mIRC has evolved and is now very fast and reliable. You wont get a corrupt file, unless you download and resume your download off another bot. The speeds are incredibly fast. Although this program is confusing at first. once you learn it you will be glad you spent your time in learning how to use this unique P2P/chat client.

Well those are my views, I hope you don't mind me adding more than just BT.

Remember this type of P2P discussion before Guido ;).

Newsgroups. All I have to say about that.

read article about people posting things as text then u have to string it together and reencode it or something person in mag said it was too complicated. Anyone use those sites?

Azureus is a good client! I don't like the original client...

BT and eMule are good for large files. BT especially for new/popular (downloading mandrake with it goes very good! )

I agree however i have found Bit Torrent to be unable to hold many peers to download off i have alot of trouble staying connected but with ABC it seems to be alot better than the normal client, probably usess some other ports ive not looked into it but yeh who knows

i find it sooo slow, could never get past 50kbps....needs more work

I use Azureus and it's better then almost everything else I've used. I especially like the new decentralized tracker feature, which I can use to distribute my stuff more easily, namely the MSN Messenger Pack

As for the idea of it, it's a fantastic one. It's a great way to share files, especially large files, and it's very reliable & fast if you have enough seeds.

I have some problems with torrents it seems , Azureus works well with speeds and all (They good be better but my isp is crap), But somehow after a couple of hours downloading my internet is gone... I have to restart my router and computer, also tried without router same happends... very strange
