P2P Music Sharing Program:

Postby Neil » 7/14/2008, 9:57 pm

Hey. What P2P music sharing programs do you peeps recommend? Limewire is what I use typically, myself, but for some reason Limewire isn't working on my mom's laptop. So I want to try a different program and see if it will work. Let me know. Please. Thanks!

If you use torrents, you just need to find a good website for albums... and use a client that allows you to specify which files you want to download and which you want to skip. Then you can find an album and download the individual tracks from it that you want.

yeah exactly what josh said. i use azureus, which allows you to download single tracks when you find the full album torrent. the only time this isn't possible is if someone who uploaded the album compressed it into a .zip or .rar then you can't select individual tracks, but most people don't do that, so it's still a hundred times better than limewire or any other p2p program.

I've found uTorrent and Soulseek to be the best for me.
They said: "There's too much caffeine in your bloodstream, and a lack of real spice in your life"
I said : "Leave me alone, because I'm alright, dad. Surprised to still be on my own..."
Oh, but don't mention love. I'd hate the strain of the pain again.
