    Do you use anything other than Bittorrent?

    The title really says it all.

    Just curious how many people are using p2p clients / other networks still? Of course, if you do, let us all know what it is that your using (especially if it is not an option present in the poll).

    Usenet, torrents, and up until like the first of this year, IRC. Haven't needed IRC as much anymore, torrents + usenet = everything I need.

    Almost exclusively Usenet. I use torrents only on the (very) rare occasions when I can't find what I'm looking for.

    I still use IRC on a fairly regular basis too.

    Nope. Straight BT user here.
    Here's Britney Spears' private jet... The gulf stream 3 doesn't even have a remote control for its surround sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free isn't a big deal?

    I generally use 3 things these days:

    1. Usenet

    2. ED2K/KAD

    3. BitTorrent.

    In fact, I use BitTorrent the least of the 3, probably due to it's nature. I can be very lazy sometimes, so unless I'm really looking for something, I usually look for content at my favorite Usenet indexing site, or the search function in my ED2K client. Finding reliable public Torrent Web sites (I'm not "cool" enough, or upload-ratio worthy to have access to a private site), sifting through the SPAM, and then using them, is just too much for me (which is not saying much, since like I said, I'm lazy).

    There was a time when I used plenty of other networks/sources, but then again, my needs are not many these days, and some of those sources have long since soured (gnutella, etc...).

    Only torrents and file hosting sites. Gave up on Direct Connect with too many people sharing too much and not having the slots and bandwidth/time online to cope to give downloaders time to have completed files. Used to use Usenet at one point but I don't fancy forking out more and more money.

    I still use soulseek lots. It's always been better than Limewire, in my opinion. There's a good selection of rare music files, flac, album wraps, etc. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of these files anywhere on bittorrent, and especially if you just want a single.
