I would say BT, but I don't like the idea of these jerknut MPAA clowns sending me a cease and desist letter for downloading an episode of Futurama (hasn't happened to me, yet)...
without p2p, there would be no reason for anyone to use internet connection. This is our freedom, take that way and you have communism :music:

anyway i'd have to go with bt for popular stuff
though for rare things nothing beats emule
mp3s i just use ares
I USED to LOVE BT. But for the some strange reason, I can't top out at fast speeds anymore. (Believe me, I searched all over the place, and there's no fix for it. Nothing, tried everything.)
So, I can't really love BT anymore. I'm sticking to DC++ (DC.)

BT is kind of scary though. Ever click the "details" tab in azureus? It lists the ip addresses of all users connected.
Napster was.
It worked better than anything I have tried since.
The newer programs frustrated me so much I won't try any,anymore.
With Napster you could choose to only download from
another person that had broadband.
Downloading at 22 kbps is a bummer when you have Roadrunner.

BT is indeed the best, it's the most advanced and most efficient sharing program made most recently and is improving all the time:thumbsup:

ive used just about everthing...and found BT to be the best but its mostly for new stuff. emule/edonkey has more to offer but its too slow.
hmmmm.....anyone use Packetnews for irc? speeds has always been the fastest for me. i wont use anything else.

usenet is technically not p2p, however, it is the best way to distribute binaries. an infinite number of people can download everything I post, and I only have to use the bandwidth once each time I post it. meaning Its not too hard to distribute stuff to lots of people even with a weak 256kbit upstream.
also, don't forget FTP. FTP is far more usefull than P2P IMO.

Rare: eMule/eDonkey/OverNet (but takes forever and a day)
Music: SoulSeek
Speed: Reverse Connect (DC++ w/ multi-source d/ling, can't use on a lot of servers)
BT is slow unless I'm on a university connection, and rarely is there something on BT I can get that isn't on one of these other ones.
