| 607541 | 2007-11-02 01:00:00 | Which is the best file sharing software out there? I used to use Kazaa ages ago but stopped cause of the amount of junk and spywares that came with it. Is there something which is balanced in terms of not hogging your PC down with its junk 'add-ons' and at the same time it is reasonably networked by large numbers of users cheers **I am not sure if this thread violates PF1 rules. If it does then well it can be deleted |

| 607545 | 2007-11-02 03:53:00 | If it is for legit purposes, go with the utorrent bittorrent client - No nasties at all bundled with it. Limewire free includes some nasty stuff. | Greven (91) | ||

| 607547 | 2007-11-02 04:53:00 | Kazaa Lite, was the bomb in it's day until fastrack became fill of fake files, then a switch of networks was called for, something like eMule which was great in it's day too, still handy for finding those hard to find files, just slow. These days, P2P Ares Preferred torrent client would be uTorrent First place however would have to go to Rapidshare, which will allow you to download as fasts as your connection allows. |

It's true that each program doesn't have its own specific network. They are merely applications that connect to a certain network. There are a few big networks such as Fastrack, Gnutella, bit torrent, eDonkey and a few other smaller networks. |
