Some ISPs throttle the common ports. Try forwarding/using a different one.

Question
What is the best P2P software?
I know this has been asked before here but I wanted to be sure the answer hadn't changed
I have tried many p2p programs and always try them for a while to give them a fair chance. I used to used to use bit torrent sites, and file sharing forums but most of them have been closed down now and the ones left aren’t all that good
I used to have kazza ++ and some other version of it. I now have been trying the latest versions of most p2p programs like:
Shareaza
kazza
Zeropaid
Bearshare
iMesh
eMule
winmx
edonkey
Limewire
Xolox
To name but a few of the loads I have tried, I make sure to share loads in fact I find every one leaches off me coz I’m one of the few that bothers to upload files more than I download.
At the moment I use Shareaza but I found recently its not as good as it used to be, I been trying Limewire but again not all that good, I see a lot of people use emule but I found it just bad but maybe that’s just me
I just want to see what people's options are on this so i can get a feel for the most popular p2p program....I tend to download any thing (I won't go into specifics but same stuff most people do all 100% legal obviously), I don't care too much about spy ware and all that as i got some very effective fire walls and anti spy ware protection so I’m never at any threat from any of that. So what is the best p2p program and on a side note what are the risks nower days of getting cort and what the best way to avoid been cort...I ask not for me but my friend bob lol ?

humm...lol very true, but lets face it every one dose it, mostly cost why pay if u can get it free, I believe if big companies didn’t charge so much for their stuff less people would. Perhaps a pay for each song rather than the whole album method for programs and films might be a good idea
I hear that even if u can proof all the songs lets say on ur pc are copied off cd's u paid for... You still can get done as its technically illegal to make any hard copy of a music cd or movie as the copy write only allows you to view or listen to the cd not copy it in any way… if that is true why dose windows media player let you do it then I wonder?
Also I here people try and sue their ISP for giving out what they download ...arguing it’s a breach of data protection. But many IPS have clauses in their sign up agreement
Is P2P dying out I wonder? ... I really hope not as been a student and having absolutely no money if it want for P2P I wouldn’t be able to afford or use the application for the program I need for my course and their for wouldn’t get a job so couldn’t get them legitimately in the future
but you say bitTorrent a good one, idose it run on windows ?
Spelling mistake ...opps =0/
Is P2P dying out I wonder? ... I really hope not as been a student and having absolutely no money if it wasn’t for P2P I wouldn’t be able to afford or use the applications I need for my cores, and their for wouldn’t be able get a job in the future so I get them legitimately. Is sharing files illegal or just sharing files that have copy right?*
That’s a good idea the ports thing.....I hope that helps...for now I’m sticking with shareza although still not as fast as it used to be, I wonder could be coz of this windows defender and onecare i got from Microsoft, very good at protecting ur pc & free but think could be slowing down shareza some how =0/
my uni is too rubbish to have any MSDN account for software trust me i tried,
i know p2p is bad, but millions if not billions use it so can't be all that bad...think ill stick with lime wire and shareza and have a try at emule....I have used mininova but not many torrents on it but will take another look
Thanks all appreciate the input
goodo, rabidlemming ,,awe look most people are honest and use it for private home personal use, I just use it mainly to get LOST and great tv episodes I cant wait a damn year to find out what happens heheh. So as Australia now starts LOST again I have the complete series2. And can say seen it and no adds too.. hehe
Abulhallaj Limewire has the limit uploads speeds and amounts options as well, it also has personal filtering so that no crap comes thru. Spyware prevention included. Verifies the files when they are done, you can preview them when the start to find if they correct.

The best way not to "get caught" is not to do it. That being said, keep in mind that "law enforcement" can only access what you let them. Without probable cause, they cannot forcibly enter your computer (private property... got to love the fourth ammendment). What gives them probably cause? Little things like you sharing 1000's of songs (openly viewable) for anyone to download. Sadly, that's a big reason so many people don't enable sharing.
At any rate, most p2p software has similar selection. I've never really used it, except bitTorrent for my Linux distro's :-P.
