Decent file sharing software (i.e. free and free of rubbish)
NS Dev - 2/2/07 at 02:28 PM

Any ideas?

I use Limewire but on recent video searches its just purely throwing up rubbish.

(i.e. I am looking for a copy of 24 hr party people but nowt comes up on limewire, and emule seems rubbish too)

I use Azureus and mininova.org or isohunt.com - haven't had any problems so far!


Pdlewis - 2/2/07 at 02:37 PM

same here isohunt.com piratebay.org mininova.org all good

use bitcomet as the download client (google will find it)

just remember to limit the upstream activity to something reasonable (3kb )

Actually your shooting yourself in the foot there as the whole system is designed to tailor your download speeds to upload speeds... You should optimise your upload speed by experimenting to see when you get the fastest downloads.

I bet you also don't seed files after you've downloaded - kind of goes against the whole 'sharing' idea!

Cheers

I do actually seed them over night but only @ 10kbps. I did have unrestricted but my ISP told me i was breaching my fair use. but interestingly during the day when it is capped i do not see any degrade in performance

is bitcomet free?

Can't seem to find a free version?

Another vote for uTorrent - I used to use Azureus but got rubbish download speeds.

Check out http://btjunkie.org/ for decent torrents

You can buy it for £5.99 on Play.com delivered free. I use utorrent as well. Have a look on mininova

I use Bitlord. Not sure how it compares but is better than Shareaza which I used previously.

Azureus on bittorrent network and eMule on the eDonkey network.
Torrentspy.com , Torrentz.com and Pirate Bay to search for the torrents.
