Good Filesharing Prog

Post by Hendrix »

Looking for a good filesharing program.
I am behind a firewall so bittorrent isn't really a good option, and I have been using soulseek as of late, but its just not cutting it anymore. Suggestions?

I personally like eMule, though a lot of people think it's too slow, and it can be at times.

What kind of Firewall are we talking about here? A corporate firewall, School, a hardware router in your house, or a software firewall on your PC?

Also, what kind of content are you primarily after? Music, Video or other?

Been a couple years at least.

Primarily just music and video, and the firewall is most likely on my linksys router, I guess I could tweak that BUT that would involve me knowing how to do such things, which is currently not possible.

Burn to CD and stand on the street corner yelling what warez you have. Hopefully some other fool will come bearing stuff you want on another CD. Then you swap CDs!

I've bought every Floyd album on CD at least twice, and am down to only having 2 playable ones left again.

The other day I downloaded every album they made in one compressed file through Azureus bittorrent - took 4 hours I think. I didn't have to buy 18 new pieces of plastic to listen to my music again. :icon14:

I did that, and got some good tunes. I went and bought the division bell CD afterwards because I love it so much, but doing that is a rarity.

I use both. WinMX always has a big queue to wait in, and kazaa doesnt find much these days compared to limewire.
