I read somewhere that emule was worth a punt..

any ideas?

[Liszt]

Have tried supernova.org which uses bittorrent. Very useful for software. Fast too.

[FourWheelDrift]

It's only the KazaaLite network of verified downloads via it's homepage and the downloadable program that's gone I believe. KazaaLite still runs on the Kazaa network and will still work.

I've just logged on to see and it shows:-

3,448,563 users sharing - 4,744,576 GB of files.

I second the suprnova. Apparently there's a good file sharing network called limewire. Kazaa Lite has quite a few viruses, i've been cleaning up my computer today necause of one.

I have a quick question, i don't know if my friend is taking the piss, but he said he downloaded a film (probably 700mb) in 3 minutes. He's in the states and he has a T3 connection and the person he was uploading it from had a T1. Is he lying?

[Liszt]

Try copying 700mb over a network or even from one harddrive to another on the same machine.

Might have been previously downloaded so in the cache?

Yes he is... Full T1 is 1.5Mbps, which is 192k/s flat out. 700mb would take around an hour at that speed.

A T3 running flat out is 44.736 Mbps, which would download 700meg in just over 2 minutes.

Ah that old chestnut, y'know pies, I can honestly say I've bought more CDs thanks to being able to try out stuff via KAZAA. Quality is always dubious and I like to 'own' the package that constitutes a CD.
The big music corps don't like being cut out of the loop, it's a control thing

Fair point, I have bought a lot of cds on the strength of one track only to find the rest is bollocks. P2P networks allow me to try before I buy.

Kazaa Lite K++ was working fine last night...

[hughjayteens]

Do a google search for Emule LSD - never touched another P2P since I found this!

Queues can be long, so it may take a day before anything happens, but usually worth the wait.

[FourWheelDrift]

Try Shareaza - uses the eDonkey network, plus you can download Bittorrents too.

[TimW]

All that is Bull My nerdy bro said that Kazza lite is a hacked version of kazza anyway!! you have to pay for kazza! i think thats what he said!
