Fastest P2P programs?

[fistfullofsteel]

What are they? Seems to me LimeWire is slow. I have tried it on DSL and Cable.

I like edonkey. Downloaded about 110DVDs worth of content with it, never had a problem with speed or not finding what I wanted.

Some people swear on torrents, though

For new files (out a few weeks or less) bittorrent tends to be fastest for me, for anything older than that emule (a derivative of edonkey) tends to be fastest.

if you are just wanting songs go to www.bearshare.com, that is the best/fastest for songs, and next i would use emule/bittorrent but both are more intensive than bearshare....I personally don't run any of these programs on my main OS, i like to bring up a virtual machine where i have the programs installed and DL from those virtual machines, that way if anything corrupts my machine it won't get my real machine, just my virtual one

LOL, virtual machine is an operating system that runs inside your operating system, you can buy Microsoft Virtual PC(or download it from the right places), or use VMware, i use VMware as it works better. You load the program and it will allocate whatever amount of diskspace you want to use and whatever amount of RAM you want to use to the virtual machine you are going to "build" you then have to install another copy of windows just like it was a new machine, but the new machine runs in a window of the real machine, you can easily network the two machines and everything runs JUST LIKE you had two different machines setting side by side.....Lots of big companies use VMware on very powerful servers...meaning they can take one very powerful server, load 5 different virtual machines on it and make 5 servers out of it. You need at least 1GB of RAM i would say, although you could probably make 512mb work. And say you get a virus or a file corrupts your "virtual" machine, who cares, its not part of your real operating system anyways

www.vmware.com HINT though, if you do happen to download emule and do a search on it, version 5.5 of VMware is easily found

I never thought private users did this. I see it all the time on Corporate installations.

You must be a über-geek orb! RESPECT!

LOL, im a cyber geek here at work i guess you could say...thats what i do here, but VMware workstation is a VERY easy program to use even for the novice user, all you need is a copy of windows XP, and doesn't even have to pass verification to get teh updates, you are just using it to run programs such as bittorrent/emule/limeware etc. It surprises me watching all these people on the anabolic board also trying to be so sneaky and incognito on the internet trying to mask their MAC address and all that shit when they could easily just run a virtual machine they keep on a USB jumpdrive hidden and use a proxy and even if the feds found their machine it would be clean as a whistle!!

OMG,
