WINmx is gayest program ever and so is ares and kazaa.

Limewire is fast and quick and you can find anything on it and it has the best user interface. It easy to understand unlike Ares and the clattered Winmx.
winmx is not cluttered. i found it easiest to use. the installation file is only 300kbs.

Limewire DOES have ads...i used Pro...i searched for something...results popped up...but alot of the results were just pictures [ ads ] if you actually downloaded them...shit, Kazaa doesn't even have these...

the only form of adversiting i can find on limewire pro is those sources that are really pcitures of sometihng else. other wise its clean.

kazaa is known for spyware

Check out www.appzpla.net, requires quick registration, but no ads+spam, and undoubtably the best friggin filesharing site ever. (Millions of reliable fast FTPs, HTTPs, tips hints requests)

That should do you limewire and a few others ;) Spread the word though, the site is word of mouth/forum only ;)

first had imesh, then win-mx, then ares and now limewire pro. limewire is the best by far, but im not sure if the pro version has any advantages over the normal version.

Haha, not to my knowledge, perhaps tick the filter out Adult Content.

The main difference is "turbocharging" whereby you are connected and have priority in downloads.

On another note, with the recent decision on Kazaa, its going to be a tough few months for the established p2p programs

That is probably the biggest problem with it (when you don't filter adult, but adult is the best thing on it :cool: (besides music))

I remember searching for He-Man, and got hundereds of results, not one of them He-Man and about 95% porn. It would've been good if i was in the mood, but i wanted He-Man goddammit!! When searching for wholesome video material, it is advised to filter adult, otherwise you won't be able to find what you're looking for.

BTW, Limewire all the way.

torrents good for mainstream new albums/ new movies.
DC++ best for non-mainstream music i.e Swedish Death Metal o_O
Bearshare best for individual songs.
