Filesharing's Top Ten: Vote now!!
 

Just curious, on what everyone's using thesedays. I'm currently using SoulSeek and am pretty happy with it. How about ya'll?

Hahah, nobody wants to respond because they don't want the RIAA to catch them. :)

I have a Mac and use Poisoned, but rarely.

i'm on bittorrent, occasionally Kazaalite

torrent has been good to me but i haven't really had the time to spend downloading anything lately and not to mention i haven't really felt like downloading stuff (lost interest i guess).

WinMX for music, BitTorrent for *coughsoftwarecough*.

I've used Soulseek for about a week, it seems to work okay, or at least better than Kazaa Lite and eDonkey.

I'm using BitTorrent and eMule plus. Both are slow, but I love them because I've yet to get a bad file from either.

I use Shareaza....works well with Torrents

Kazaalite for me, but only becase the connection at my school is crap, so nothing else works. If I had a functioning connection, I prefer WinMX, and BitTorrent is also great.

bittorrent and the eDonkey network

I like soulseek. But nothing has worked nearly as well for me as the original Napster. I still remember spending 9 hours straight getting music one night when I heard the supreme court was shutting it down the next day, turns out the rumours were untrue, but at least I had a couple hundred songs to listen to.

Soulseek. Kazaalite doesn't seem to work from within my college's network.

Usenet. Full albums, great quality.

kazaa lite seems to be a weener for me. But i have gotten into bit torrents b4 as well. I recently got into streamripper and record the radio station i listen on the net.


mr b

I use Soul Seek and Bit Torrent. Soul Seek can be slow at time but Bit Torrent is helluva fast :)

Still use kazaa lite.

Still using SoulSeek, but took some of the suggestions and ran with Bittorrent. Anyone suggestions for a rookie Bittorrent user?

direct connect and mirc, both are virus/spyware free they are the best in my opinion

Im on Soulseek...seems to be the only place where you can be sure that you are getting the right thing. Kazaa and WinMX is full of fake files and such...

I used to use Kazaa lite, but ever since I signed up for Rhapsody, I don't really use it anymore. It seems that since I have most of the music I want at my fingertips without having to wait to download it, I don't need to pirate anymore :)

SoulSeek. I've recently downloaded every unreleased or out of print song by both Ministry and White Zombie with very little trouble. It's THE program to use if you're looking for obscurities and rarities, which is really all I need filesharing for anyway.
sk

i just use kazaa since i dont know how to use soulseek and bit torrent ... ect..

im tooo newbie thats why rofl :lol:

Amen. Heck, if I wouldn't have messed up my file of Napster somehow, I'd still use it for my main music-player, too!

Oh, and I use Kazaa, but with everyone saying good things about SoulSeek, I'm gonna have to check that out real soon.

Soulseek is no harder to use than Kazaa....

For underground stuff, Soulseek! then every now and then Ill hop on Kazaa lite++, I have been thinking about getting on Rhapsody. Id feel better about it when I download from smaller bands.

...anything i can get my hands o

KazaaLite...it's all I use now. I used to use SoulSeek and when I did it was awesome. I don't anymore because...just because one filesharing program is enough I guess.

Using MIRC is a great place to start for full albums. As for individual songs, I use WinMX.

V.

Does MIRC work like Bittorrent? Another Q: I subscribed to Bittorrent and would like to unsubscribe. I keep getting bombarded with member emails and it's a little frustrating. I sent an email to bittorrent to unsubscribe me and nothing has happened. Any suggestions?

Never underestimate the power of a GNUtella client in ultrapeer mode. 800 connections, half of them to other ultrapeers with that many connections, I can get myself up to 30k + reachable nodes in half an hour.

Supernova - - > BitTorrent

in on Kazaalite 24/7 and occasionally WinMX. KaZAA FOREVER!!!!! I miss the old napster... the new one sucks:(

mIRC

Soulseek. Makes me wonder why I spent so many wasted days with Kazaa Lite

I used to use Soulseek, but couldn't find everything I wanted. Now that Kazaa lite is more or less dead, I'm going back to it.

mIRC + IRCSpy is all I need.

Occasionally i'll see what Kazaa has to offer

DirectConnect is the way to go, but you have to find a hub like this and get going. Hubs use standards and user/passwords to control quality and access, and to help protect privacy

Soulseek and Bittorrent

I'm still looking for sites with lots of torrents though. I saw suprnova.org and novasearch.net, anything else?

Myself,...? Back to SoulSeek only. My mailbox was filling to quickly w/ Bittorrent

I personally use EMule (Hardmule mod) all the time. It takes time to really get it working but once its going its really nice.

Ill use BearShare to grab those occasional MP3s

Newsgroups for MP3 albums, Music Videos

Ill use Bittorrent if I have to but not very often.

Have tried shareaza,irc,kazaalite,gnutella,and weboards but the above so far has worked best for me.

well, thanks to this thread i've started using Soulseek.

no complaints. its more than i need. and thats fantastic.

i'm glad this thread has helped some folks out here

Only using kazaalite at the moment but i think i will look into soulseek given the great wraps its getting here.

My friend just got me started on this last night. Got the new Incubus album in less than 5 minutes. Awesome :thumbsup:

just curious, how does mIRC & IRCspy work?

I use Soulseek for my obscurities, what-do-they-sound-like-agains, i-wonder-what-they're-likes, which-cd-should-i-buy-tomorrows, etc.

Once again, I ask?

WinMX, i use it for every thing.

Soulseek would be even sweeter if it could download as effectively as Kazaalite. The range of files is heaps better but just a lot slower to get. Also - I've never DL'd a dud file from Soulseek but have got plenty from Kazaa.

WinMx...it's been good to me

I use BitTorrent and eDonkey. As for clients I use emule with currently Azureus for BitTorrent (still looking for a decent client)

a little off topic...but is it or shouldn't it be legal to download music that's out of print?

bittorent, irc and dc++ w/ peer guardian

DC++, simply the best.

Use kazaa lite k+*--4++ or whatever the hell it is now, and bittorrent for the REALLY big files :)

This thread has been hella helpful... Ive been using WinMx for awhile now and havent exactly been satisfied with it...
Now i will have to go home and try SoulSeek and Bittorrent...
Ive been looking for a song by Porno for Pyros called "petes dad"
I had it on CD years ago and lost the CD... that song is priceless...
Anyone heard it?

I've been using k-lite for a while now, but based on what I've read here, I'm going to give Soulseek a try now.
