So Kazaa is essentially dead...

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

I've been getting corrupt files in mass the last few days on Kazaa and I'm done with it, not many people on anymore either. So anyone got a new sources filled file sharing program that I don't know about? It'd be much appreciated.

earthstation5 is nice for movies and stuff. Although it sometimes is still hard to get a hold of more "western" content right now. Plus if you share, you will be able to use the direct verified download page for first run movies and music etc.

 

Soulseek is nice for music

Emule (Connects to the Edonkey network)

Shareaza (Connects to Gnutella, Gnutella2, Edonkey and BitTorrent networks)

WinMX (Connects to WinMX network and OpenNap servers)

 

They're all free and have no ads or extra crap programs, pick any or all of them, I usually have two running at once.

 

And here's a reason why Kazaa has so many corrupt files.

That Earthstation 5 program is the biggest piece of crap software I've ever downloaded.

Aside from the fact that I like all of the security features, half the stuff is labeled wrong and one video file I downloaded previewed to be some gay film from India (And I was not downloading porn for a change..)..

I used WinMX and my cable company choked my bandwidth.

Kazaa lite still works fine for me.

Corrupt files? That must be mp3s that you are looking for. I just get my downloads from newgroups now, but I only dl GBA roms and an rap occassional mixtape but that was months ago.

The new version of Kazaa Lite blocks the IP addresses that carry the corrupt files and I haven't found a corrupt file yet since using it.
