:rolleyes: no, programs like winmx take like 15minutes to download a damned song, also half the time its impossible to even complete a movie on p2p because no one is sharing it, limewire i can get a song in no more then 30seconds.Quote:

winmx was good for me
my music downloaded pretty fast
i just downloaded ares
it wouldn't connect even after I fiddled with the settings
plus it came with some whenusave bullshit and it was running slow
where did you go to get yours? if it had whenusave with it, then i'm willing to bet you didn't get it from the real ares site... also, you might want to download the lite version, as it runs better on slower computers...

btw to whoever says you can't dl movies with ares or p2p programs.. HAH i've downloaded well over 30 GIGS worth the movies in just under a week or so, and no it doesn't take forever, on average for me, 3 hours tops often running at over 150kbps
i have cable tho, so if you don't got cable then don't expect my results, if you do and you use ARES then something isn't right... that's the best p2p program out there imho.. doesn't take up alot of system use, and has more then enough people on to get almost anything youc an think of. but when ares does fail for me (very rare) i turn to limewire, which eats the shit out of my system...
and yes winmx kicked all kinds of ass, i loved that program.... too bad they shut it down =/ fuckin RIAA
Not necessarily true, I use eMule/eDonkey, it takes ages to start up downloads and yeah you can't download most thing's straight away but if you leave the computer on while your out, you'll come back and find whole 500meg movies + fully downloaded, the only thing about p2p that people don't like is you actually have to have some consideration for other people, and share what you download, its always good too leave your upload capacity at maximum because the more people upload the faster you can download, and it really does work.Quote:

You can still get screwed, but it seems that most people don't seed torrents that are malicious. It's not hard to figure out. If you're behind a router and having trouble, then troubleshooting it will give you a better understanding of your setup.
