nell789 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I'm looking to get a different P2P client for mostly music downloads. Currently I have Limewire, but it seems to slow down my computer immensely. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 9 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Is there any reason why you don't want to use bit torrents? Link to post Share on other sites
nell789 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Is there any reason why you don't want to use bit torrents?I use bit torrents for movies, games, full albums etc. I find it hard to find single songs with bit torrents....maybe I should just look harder?

Dirtydutch 9 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Limewire is the only Napster clone I use anymore. But I'm so disconnected from popular music that I never try to download single songs. Sorry. Link to post Share on other sites

theredpill99 0 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I use emule. I can get a single song downloaded in 30 minutes but 25 minutes of the time is just waiting in line. You should use a IP blocker, though to keep everyone off your back. Many companies are scanning the P2P networks looking for people sharing movies, etc etc. You can get an updated list of IP's to block from here:http://www.bluetack.co.uk/index.phpIt's free. Use this and Emule and you should be ok. I use Peer Guardian for an IP blocker but not sure if you can find it anymore. I don't use P2p much anymore because not much I really want lately.

Jadaki 1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 i have bittorrent on my computer, but all the downloads are pathetically slow. like 1 day +am i doing something wrong?Probably. Do you have a router? Did you open up the ports the software needs to run? Have you tried using a spin off system with more options like BitTornado? Link to post Share on other sites

Golden 2 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I agree, if you take some time to tweak the settings of Limewire, your computer doesn't really get affected. Link to post Share on other sites
