Steve Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I still think WinMX is the best client out there technically. It has better features than any other, but the user base just isn't there - not for the sort of music I like anyway. Soulseek has the user base, but the program is a pile of shite.

rygon Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 i think its cos soulseek sounds cool whereas winmx is a shit name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deeswift Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 That'll be the reason, yeah. haha. Shame that Soulseek doesn't have multi-source downloads, that's all it lacks really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Soulseek has no search filters either. With WinMX you can choose a minimum bitrate for an mp3 or the exact bitrate you want. You can choose specific file types and you can even choose what connection the person you are gonna download from has to avoid 56K people. It's got better options for limiting incoming and outgoing speeds than Soulseek too, plus you can add OpenNap servers to it. WinMX = XboxSoulseek = 8 bit Nintendo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixologist Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 You are correct ska, the thing is, it's riddled with spyware and adware, however there is a Lite version for it. so jsut pick up bear Share lite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dextrous Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Anyone use Filetopia??Overall it's a bit crap but I've found a few bits on there that I've not seen on any other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you can make that anagram is quite fitting. Ares is for n00bs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimrod Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) i thought as much. dextrous what sort of files can you get on filetopia? is it mostly apps? Edited July 12, 2005 by nimrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeba Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I stick to bit torrents sites less trouble and headaches. Also try exeem thats a good program to.Alot of people sleep on it. But here's my take on some p2p i used over the years. soulseek=great for underground music but sucks on programs. winmx=good for finding pop music and programs sometimes have problems connecting to the server. ares=good not enough resources to find stuff. emule=good but to dam slow in finishing files and a processing hog. limewire,bearshare ,shareraza,filetopia and c++=not enough of resources. kazza=stayaway from that shit thats trouble. Well I hope this gives a idea on what you want to try. But bittorrents is where it's at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dextrous Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 All sorts. It's a sort of cross between chat rooms and typical fileshares. Whatever people have in their shared files you can get.Like I say it's a bit dogshit as a program, but what with the chat and the fact that it's divided into rooms it means you can find stuff you might have problems finding elsewhere. I'd be interested to know how it stands on the malware front though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staxman Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 has any one hered of revconnect? thats what i always use revconnect.com is where you download it from. when you open revconnect for the 1st time you have to share some files (about 5 gig) the more the better, you have to share files to connect to the hubs hublist.org is where you add the hubs from. the more users in the hubs the better its the fastest download program ive ever used and its the only one ill probly use ever again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
