I sincerely prefer e-mule over BT, much less hassle...
Fortunately i don't need to download pretty much anything, i've got a MSDN subscription and all the music i listen is from groups old enough to get discounted CDs...

Uh, napster was the only one that was centralized. Every P2P filesharing network is decentralized, this is why the RIAA and the MPAA can't kill it.

*checks his kazaa*

Still 2.8 million people hanging on it.

Torrent is prolly better with the correct sites, but Kazaa>all else for porn ATM.

[Zarax]

except that you get a lot of fakes right now, or tons of DRM ****

[deep_eyes]

well as far as im concern, the DL speeds on Kazaa has been bad cause its like to get a decent bandwith on anything, u have to be a paying user. from what i read from a friend of mine in a email explaining it to me, he said that the free users get stuck with 20kb on average depending on source of DL.

pay users get whatever bandwith they can muster.

bit torrent got its ups and downs, but as far as i remember, the dude that made it, has a paper stating its legal uses and how there are no laws for UPLOADS .....

w00t.

What are you smoking? Empornium is way better. Bittorrent is the way to go. I think they might be in a closed-membership period at the moment, though. Still, it can't be that difficult to find a friend with an invite.

[an0n]

Yeah, it is:

How many invites do I get?
pervs with > 1.5 share ratio and a minimum upload of 50 GB get 1 invite
good pervs <1.2 get 2 invites
good pervs >1.2 get 3 invites
pushers get 5 invites

To get good perv status, you need to donate money to the site. And they keep track of your invite family tree - so if you invite someone and they just leech, you get punished.

I signed up before they closed the membership, though. Mwuahaha.

[Nuke]

been using gnucleus sence i got my cable modem. its open source and pretty effective. bit torrent is something i dont really get. i remember the good old days of ftp file sharing upload a few files, download a few, and noone gave a ****

[BlackDove]

Anyone wanna pass me an invite? I could use it.

[an0n]

Methinks you can buy your way in by donating money to the site. There's a whole forum for it.

At least BT downloads stuff unlike e-mule which has files sit in waiting for hours, download a little then go back to waiting for hours. Also if someone screws with Bt I'm gonna be pissed.

The (lawsuit) route is not perfect, in the same way that the war against drugs isn't perfect either," said Sims, a partner in Proskauer Rose. "But there's probably less heroine and cocaine out there now than if we weren't doing anything."  

Poor misguided fool.....

[Krackers87]

Or just use kazza resurection which doesent need invites or caries spyware or even deals with memberships, yet still connects to the kazza network, with unlimited speeds.

[Rictor]

Kazaa resurection? What now?

Explain.

[Krackers87]

continuation of kazza lite, the version of kazza put out that didnt have spyware.

You can find ressurection on suprnova

[redmenace]

well hopefully they won't go after tvtorrents and the such. Then I will be pissed.

[karajorma]

Sadly it's not even just BitTorrent who are getting it in the neck.
