Right, now that Audiogalaxy is gone can anyone suggest a good alternative to use? Top Gun has recommended Gnutella to me (which looks a bit complex, and I am quite retarded) but I'm also interested in seeing any other file-sharing thingies. What do you all use? And also, Why?

:nervous:

This doesn't fall under the remit of warez, does it?

I'm OK. How are you?

Since I'd be very surprised if everyone on the board (except maybe CP5670 :D) didn't 'steal' music in this way, so I doubt it'll face much trouble on this board. I hope. :)

Hmmm.... well, personally, I think Gnutella is one of the most powerful and best... Once you figure out how to use it :D

I'll give it a go by all means. I couldn't get Limewire to work for the life of me though... :(

Yeah, the bloody thing gave this computer a virus (via my brother's stoopid downloading, I think)...and it doesn't have much of a selection of music on it really. Just a whole truckload of porn. :p

The 3.2 version added a lot of good stuff (segmented downloading etc.)

I'd reccomend Grokster and Gnucleus.
Oh, and if you REALLY know what you're doing, try Direct Connect.

Morpheus is just one of the many clients for Gnutella and not the best at that. It's run by a profit making company that makes its money by installing spyware with the thing (despite them saying it doesn't contain any). Go to www.gnutelliums.com for a full list of Gnutella clients (each one reviewed) for every major OS. I recomed downloading a small sourceforge project client. Not only do you support independant programmers but they're far less likely to contain nasties.


P.S. :- I think Limewire contains spyware.

Thanks for the Even More Tips. :D

I've downloaded WinMX and I'm looking through the Gnutella clients. I also got something from wEvil, which looks good. I'll be trying them all out. Thanks, everyone. :)
I'm OK. How are you?

...which is why you download KazaaLite. :D It's basically a guy who got ahold of the Kazaa source or something like that and removed _all_ the spyware and adware crap. Works great, uses the Kazaa network, resumes Kazaa downloads, etc.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
