    Question Where to go

    What is the best program to download files over the internet, ISO files especially? I have a broadband connection but I don't know where to download games. Please help me.

    I'm assuming from the fact you had to ask that you don't have a great number already, so dc is probably out. Try edonkey or overnet, basically the same. Neither is renowned for speed, but they have content.

    full size games= dc or edonkey. dc has better speeds but be prepared to share many files to get into the better hubs and sometimes have to search around to finish a download... but once yousee how it works it really isnt that hard, especially with dc++ multi hub capabilities (which many frown on because you have to share your upload slots between hubs) and websites that allow you to do multi hub searches (which I am too tired to remember the names of right now)

    edonkey is slow, sometimes murderously so, but you are pretty much guaranteed to get the file you are looking for. and they are almost (I use almost because I dont believe in certainties, I havent heard of anyone not getting a working file off edonkey) always full, working files.

    generally though, Ive found more isos on dc then anywhere else, someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think edonkey normally has bin/cue files more commonplace then iso.

    edit: cheapprick beat me too it and did it in much fewer words. as if that is hard! Ive heard my whole life that I talk too much...
