Ok, I know this subject's been posted about quite a bit, but it's all kind of left me more confused than before....
At the moment, I'm using Kazaalite but I'm sick of all the low quality files, the viruses (virii?), worms, trojans and all the files that seem to spontaneously corrupt and then get spread around until only the corrupt version's available.
Thing is, aside from all the crap, fasttrack still has loads of files, it's pretty easy to use and you can nearly always find what you're looking for.
What I want to know is what are the alternatives? -I tried sharazza a few days ago, I was connected to gnutella, gnutella 2 and eDonkey and tried to download some files. Most of the files I queued stayed on pending (with loads of sources), some were 'active' with loads of sources but did nothing, and the ones that did start transferring were at really, really low speeds (under 1KB/s).
Not sure if this is because I'm on a dial-up at the moment, but I did seem to be uploading at 3KB/s?
Anyway what's the best network and the best client to use? Which is best for quality/content/speed (I might be getting ADSL soon...)/not spreading corrupt virus ridden trojan worms?
-or if there's not a general all rounder, what should I use for films, what should I use for music, what should I use for software?
If you disagree with someone, please don't just say you're speaking out your bottom, use this instead... say why you disagree. Please?
