**Captain_Crunch** · 12-19-02, 04:23 PM

One of my mates says he uses iMesh, im just wondering what the alternatives to kazaa are and if theyre any good. i like kazaa L tho.
Anyone use any alternatives ?

winmx? irc? direct connect? limewire?
why not use em all? if a particular network doesnt have a file, look on another

On Windows, I like Bearshare.

**Captain_Crunch** · 12-19-02, 04:42 PM

irc?
irc is a chat client.

IRC has a file transfer protocol, and there are dedicated file sharing channels most of which have have automated bots that serve files.

IRC is the cradle of the warez and music sharing scenes. It was the dominant medium back in '97 before anyone had written a dedicated file sharing client.

i was being partly sarcastic when i said that, due to my hatred of irc, there is no way that i would be inclined to use it. Its a very security flawed program that is a danger to my computer.

Funny, you could say the same thing about Windows.

yeh, i agree. However, you dont have much of a choice with what OS you use. The way i see it is: Windows or Linux. Linux doesnt appeal to me as i feel it has more developing needed. i use Xp and am happy just now with its performance.

nobody mentioned www.Overnet.com or www.Edonkey2000.com?

According to me WinMx and LimeWare are the best alternatives to kazaa

**Avatar** · 12-21-02, 09:18 AM

the only real alternative to Kazaa network is DC++ !

**ElectricFetus** · 12-28-02, 11:02 PM

Kazaa Lite : kazaa without spam or spyware!

**Captain_Crunch** · 12-29-02, 07:04 AM

When we say Kazaa, we actually mean Lite. Normal kazaa is for the ugly and the stupid.

hehehhe
j/k

**ElectricFetus** · 12-29-02, 10:27 AM

well then the only p2p that has more thne kazaa is DC and that only if you have 30+GB of crap to share... there very picky at DC. Kazaa is the best man, sorry

**lixluke** · 12-31-02, 02:42 PM

i jus downloaded the latest kazaalite.
very very nice
wats dc++?
how is winmx, limeware, and bearshare better than kazaalite?

DC++ or Direct Connect is a file sharing program. Not all hubs require 30 gigs. It depends on what you want and what hub you wish to visit. Movie hubs usually require more share as there must be more gigs to have enough to have a choice of movies to pick from. Many hubs require 5 gigs or less. They also have hubs that share games, anime, e-books, and music of various themes. There are approximately 3100 to 3200 different hubs, not counting private hubs.

dc++ is a hack of the original program
koala dc is another

advantages are multiple hub connections

i had a little app that let me fake my share size but am not sure where it is on the web
