Download Skype | Comment on Skype | Rate Skype Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers. There’s a big, wide world out there, and a more than a few people on Skype. Here are some stories from people who have taken the time to tell us. We documented their stories to share with the world. Thanks again for the great coffee and that space on your floor for the night. The software’s quick and easy to get started with. Download, register, install, plug in your headset, speakers or USB phone and start calling your friends. The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You don’t even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. It just, you know… works. Bridging the gap - And it doesn’t just work on Windows, like some other software you may know. Skype is also for Mac OS X, Linux and PDAs using Pocket PC, with a native look and feel for each platform. Talking, sending instant messages or even file transfers work between different platforms like a charm. Calling regular phone numbers - If there weren’t enough ways for you to contact your friends, we have a little thing called SkypeOut. It lets you make calls to old-fashioned phone numbers all around the world. Landlines, mobile phones... it works with almost all of them. SkypeOut is not free but it is pretty cheap, actually. You can also forward your Skype calls to a traditional phone or mobile. It won’t cost others any extra to call, and you simply pay the standard SkypeOut rate to call the number that you forward to.

loaded	Speed of Skype - 2/5 - You can only have one source while transferring files over the "File Transfer" tool and that means that your download speed is equal to the uploader's upload speed and no one else. This is unlike other P2P programs, which usually support multiple users uploading at the same time.# of files on Skype - 1/5 - There aren't ant "files" on Skype, you have to know someone that has one that you want and ask them to upload it to you. Even with that - people use Skype to talk to each other, not to swap files. This makes Skype's "File Sharing" basically useless.# of Users on Skype - 2/5 - There's usually about a million out there, but most of them either you don't know (meaning you most likely won't get a file from them), or they might not have the file you're looking for. This makes the # of users completely pointlessSkype Overall - 2/5 - Skype just isn't a P2P program, it should stick with it's calling service and shouldn't be USED as a P2P program, however, the File Transfer tool isn't too bad if you know a lot of people on Skype!

lexein	+ Sounds great Skype ->Skype over broadband+ Good echo suppression between two laptops w/no headphones.+ Very easy to use, no adjustments needed.- No adjustments - can't reduce bandwidth (to 11 kbps, like iVisit)- Sounds poor Skype -> Skype over dialup- Sounds poor Skype Out -> phone- Frequent network call setup errors.- Frequent bandwidth jamming, when a node gets escalated to supernode.- No Skype In (yet).- No centralized contact list(like AIM).- No way to export Skype and SkypeOut contacts.
