Best P2P Program?

another vote for uTorrent!

uTorrent for torrents.

I've been giving UseNeXT a go recently - maxes out my connection instantly (way higher than uTorrent) and doesn't slow everything down to a crawl. Other people have said I should give GigaNews a look so I'll probably see what that's like next.

used to use limewire, not sure what its like any more

Phex is a pretty good alternative to the many different version's of limewire, completely different source code so very little chance of it java-crashing and killing itself.

EDIT: links okay on here?

Private torrent sites are better than free newsgroups imo.
Free ISP newsgroup servers suck kind of, reaching avg of 400kb/sec, while a good private torrent site can easely get you to dl @ 1.2 mb/sec or more.

And pay for newsgroups? haha no way, I aint paying. Free is always > than payed for.

Newsleecher

But if you must use P2P then µTorrent is by far the best. Forget all these Napster clones line Limewire etc, they are terrible.

As said above, uTorrent for P2P, but you should learn how to use Newsleecher, or similar

uTorrent, yep another vote for it here.

However, since I started using a Premium Rapidshare account, I've never touched uTorrent for months now.

Dunno why it took me so long to make the switch to RS!!!.

If you want to pay for a RS account, pay for Usenet binary access instead (newsgroups). Well worth it
