Default Bittorrent

BitTorrent seems cool, it's a new p2p program where you find a small file with data in it corresponding to what you want, open it, and download away. It uploads the same file to other people as you download it. :) Seems cool, except for it wastes my overall bandwith and sometimes almost nobody is on with the file. :(

personally, I love WinMX. It's soooo fast, and no ads, no spyware.

and eDonkey 2000 works okay, but too many ads. eMule however, makes for a much better experience.

with eMule, it's alot easier to get validated files. you can go to sites like filenexus and right away get eMule links for files.

WinMX however doesn't suck your bandwidth away, and it's faster, AND you have control about who downloads from YOU.

I use them in concert. eMule for big validated files, and WinMX for smaller ones (like MP3s)
