Is there any good p2p programs for downloading music that does not share harmful viruses or spyware and its reliable to use? I tried kazaa, kazaa lite, bearshare, ares lite, edonkey2000, and they all sucked. thanks alot

I use Kiwi Alpha and I haven't gotten any spyware or viruses. And I always find what I'm looking for.

It's not edited or anything rite? is it ok to put all the songs i d/l from there to put it in my ipod?

You'd have to make sure that IPod supports the fileformat that you're trying to put on it, otherwise it won't work. I believe that IPod's don't work with WMA and WAV but don't quote me on that. I know for sure it doesn't work with WMA since that's Window's format but not sure about WAV.

iTunes auto-converts your wmas into .mp3 during transfer to the ipod.

I dislike all p2p programs exept a few. They put spyware and viruses on your computer. Viruses are bad... really bad... LOL... some can give you e-mails talking about nasty stuff.

shareaza, spyware free and supports bittorrent, edonkey, and gnutella networks. and mirc for irc.

The only p2p services I would ever use are shareaza and eXeem. eXeem however will not be released sinced suprnova recently went done. But if the team is still working on it it should be one of the better p2p programs.

did you try the full ares version? runs pretty good for me..

WOW shareaza sucks even more..it tried downloading 12 songs (no, not all at once, song by song) and none of them completed. not even 1%..gg

You have to know how to configure your client to make it run well with your computer, if you have closed ports it will also affect you downloads heavily. Download speeds/rate could hinge on one small factor from computer to computer.

Almost every p2p program can get you a virus. It not 100% safe.
But usually when u DL music 95% of the time, u can't get a virus so it safe dling from kazaa lite. I used WINMX theses days.

omg you're those ppl that just dl the program and just start dling??? omg....YOU CONFIGURE THE PORTS!!! ARRRGH!! your comp screwed up becuz of all your goddamn dling music p2p programs!

I use limewire strictly for music, and I have never had a problem with the gnutella network.

Its a free download, just click a google.

Amen. I want to see some of these people try at some FXP forums... should be quite an interesting adventure

well um try Ares, Warez, WinMX, iMesh, and um yeah. Ares most.

I have been searching and searching for a prog. to use to download music... I want something that works with dsl, doesnt take up a lot of space on your computer, and doesnt take much memory to run... can you guys suggest a prog for me?

thanks.. if this is in the wrong place im sorry!

Suggested DLing program: Bittorrent. Doesn't make you dl a desktop program. DSL is a preferrable connection. And you just get raw .mp3's and data.

Okay... well I found one on the old forum.. but now I have one question... I have Swapper.net or Shareaza.com... which is better?

Soulseek is good.

merging topics.

ARES I TELL YOU! lol again i dont know anything!! or do i?

KLite i used to use. I've also heard LimeWire is good. and Bittorrent is slow but its good for big files.

Bittorrent is slow? Where are you downloading from? If you can find a decent site your downloads shouldnt go at any less than 100 KB/s if you configured your client correctly. I remember in my BT days I was getting 150 to 200 KB/s on the sites I was on. Now im a great FXP forum and download at well over 300 KB/s

i use limewire, been fast for me and no adware or spyware

WinMX - tah best

Kazaa Lite Ressurection - ok .....but it automatically dl`s porn in ur comp

i use limewire and i never had a problem with it before.
i used to use kazaa though, and that gave me tons of problems

i use kiwi alpha
or ares

Limewire is very user-friendly

I download from lokitorrent, normally. But does the site really matter? Since BT is a swarm download and all.

The thing with my client is that good downloads are normally 30kbs, but I've had maybe 2-3 incidents where speed was about 150+kbs. How exactly do you configure the client right?

i like winMX most, it is quite efficient

You should really watch what you download, spyware may not be too malicious, but one thing can lead to another. According to what you all mentioned, I put together a list, and yes, I looked all these programs up.

Spyware/Adware:
Kazaa, anything with the word Kazaa in it for that matter.
Bearshare
Kiwi Lite
Ares
eDonkey

Okay:
Shareaza
Limewire
WinMX
Soulseek
eDonkey <Pretty sure...

I use bittorrent and kceasy and sometime DC++

eXeem. its a new program. still in beta. it runs on bittorrent.

bearshare lite is my favorite, but the only other ones i've tried are kazaa lite and win mx...
