I personally feel that they get you what you need but at a harsh price, and that specific price is spyware!!!
I only have Soulseek as a P2P programme, it is legit which explains it's UBBER shittyness with shitty speed..... It is a good way however to send each other Files with decent speed!
Kazaa is just.....Kazaa.... do I neeed to go on!! lol yeah It has its 987876787678324 issues to solve...
as for limewire, I cant trust it.... the name kreeps me out
BitTorrent is cool, Im all for it!
Mirc- I dont know how to download off here so I couldn't know I just go to chat! and advertise! lol

I don't care for bittorrent. Any of you hear about the guy who ran Lokitorrent? As part of a settlement with the MPAA (and maybe the RIAA, too... I forget) he supposedly handed over a full set of tracker logs or something to them. ie a list of who downloaded what and when.
Personally, I use DirectConnect for most of my stuff... I'm not a fan of SoulSeek, nor of KLite (though I do have to use it to get some stuff).

I have heard of DirectConnect but It seems complicated, what is it exactly, I heard you have to connect to a certain server through some ip adress of some sort to download.

To use DC:
• Grab a DC client (DC++ = most widely used client, many hubs allow it only)
• Hit up the public hub list button. This will download a list of available servers (hubs).
• Find a hub, join. Many specific hubs cater to specific things - I tend to connect to several anime hubs, with a combined user count of about ten thousand.
Couple things to note:
• Hubs are privately owned and operated, thus they have their own rules.
Example: Many of the hubs I connect to do not allow pornography (though some make exceptions for hentai). Furthermore nearly all hubs have minimum share requirements, that is to say unless you are sharing X amount of junk, you will not be allowed entrance. The amount for most anime hubs is generally below 40 gigabytes.
• Practically every way to "cheat" with your share, and/or download slots are detectable and will get you swiftly banned from whatever hub you try it in.
The hubs themselves function as both file sharing servers and chatrooms. Because of the generally strict administration of the hubs, DC is my preferred thinger for downloading stuffs.

^ Yeah DC++ is a good program that's where I get all my vgm. I only have Soulseek as a P2P programme, it is legit which explains it's UBBER shittyness with shitty speed..... It is a good way however to send each other Files with decent speed! Good to know that you use slsk also message me sometime maybe we can trade game/anime music. I'm "koombala" yes I know dumb nick. as for limewire, I cant trust it.... the name kreeps me out Don't Judge a P2P because of its name here dude Download.com thats a direct link to a review about it. Download.com gives reviews on many things and it tells you if something has spy/adware. Limewire doesn't its good for mainstream music and fast pr0n heh. BitTorrent is cool, Im all for it! What client? I thought Bittorrent was crap until my friend told me about BitTornadoMirc- I dont know how to download off here so I couldn't know I just go to chat! and advertise! lol Mirc is so damn confusing I finally somewhat getting the hang of it was I figure how it works. I'm gonna use Hirc another client of irc, but this one if free no 30 day trial crap. Maybe we could make our own irc room. Just to test out how to download stuff because I installed Mirc yesterday so I'm new to it also. All I know is that downloading has to do with DCC. Message me on slsk if your interested in doing that I'm always on slsk. |

Speaking of vgm, anyone who is interested can go to vgmcentral.no-ip.com, its a VGM oriented hub, and has a lot of rare stuff. If you go there you should know better and tell people the rules before you give out the address here's the rules. Another thing your gonna have to wait to get verified so make sure you got the rules down and make your share easy to find also. If anyone needs help I will help you just pm me. I'm "Nicholas" on there just keep in mind I'm no expert so I might not be able to answer every question. VGM Central Rules 1. Share at least one complete, appropriately labeled (including track numbers), officially released Video Game Music (VGM) album. Singles, rips, redbooks, etc. do not count. If we are unable to locate your VGM, you will be kicked. 2. Make sure your description starts with VGM. 3. Do not spam/flood the chat, verbally attack other members, be disruptive (in the chat or through the network), or pretend you didn't see this. 4. Do not change your name for no good reason as it unfairly breaks peoples' queues. The Neo-Modus Direct Connect client (NMDC) is not allowed, as it allows you to be cloned. You will be banned if you use it. We recommend you use DC++. If you have a problem with the hub's moderation, feel free to criticize, as long as you can keep it civil. You may message OpChat to enter a private conversation with all the ops. If you start insulting the ops or members of the hub, you will be banned. Please let other people you refer here know the rules in advance. The rules and translations of them are also located at: vgmcentral.no-ip.com/ |

Hey I remember you I got something from you, but can't quite remember what. Even though the rules are common sense some people dont get it until their told. Forgot to add something as long as your sharing one soundtrack that is appropiate its ok to have other soundtracks not named or numbered. I'm sharing a soundtrack right now that only the tracks are numbered and not named. |

IMO
I think they're too risky unless they're completley virus free, and lets face it, you dont get much of those these days
well there is one called Soulseek, but becasue its legal, it is that more shit at getting what you want, the speed is slooooow and waiting time in que is extremley time consuming.
