File *Sharing* software? BearShare seems to suck

[Helpless]

I tried using BearShare (Like Napster, but for files and the like), but my throughput jumps all over the place..some time 500K+, then drops to nothing, then 10K, etc, etc ...anyone use a program like this that has reliable download speeds?

hotline, not searchable, but you know what i mean.

I've tried all of them and they all suck. Imesh drops downloads all the time, gnutella hardly ever ends up connecting, bearshare can't make gnutella work any better, etc. etc. I want napster forever ;(

No, you lost me

 

[urameatball]

only tried bearshare...
so many dumb options and still it doesn't work right. If these 'napster replacements' don't step up on the effort, they're not gonna go anywhere.

I use Imesh and it also sucks. I can't seem to find anything, and when I do I always get dropped connections when donwloading or really slow d/l.:|

I agree with Skoorb. All of them suck compared to Napster. WinMX, BearShare, LimeWire, all of 'em.

I've tried edonkey. One problem with this program is that there aren't many users. You do get good download rates provided IF the complete file is available.

I tried FileRogue. T'was also terrible.

What's this 'dropped connections'? I don't seem to have it when using iMesh...

BTW I think that iMesh rocks, but that's of course only my opinion.

i like limewire, even though it uses gnutella, it seems to work for me at least

 

[NaughtMe]

what is hotline all about? I downloaded it, but I cant seem to find anything interesting. Theres just a bunch of macintosh-related stuff and indipendant films.... am i not looking in the right places?

I think Scour Exchange was the best of all the peer programs. I hear they are going to bring it back !
