1.Ares.
2.Ares
3.Ares
I'll tell you why.
When you search for a song or an artist,hold your mouse over the songs that appear in your search...
Most of the times the users have filled in names of similar artist in the "TRY ALSO" section...
That feature alone is one of the biggest reasons I have such a diverse music collection that I now have...
Just that ares has gotten slllllooooowwwww these days...Its trying my patience but the payoff is big so i deal with it...
Any edonkey 2000 network client (eMule mod) would be good for that - Try mods like LPE, Toxic, SBI, no upload feature damages edonkey network severely, so get p2p blacklist for the mode.
FastTrack(Kazaa). Gnutella(Bearshare and many other) networks are full of fakes, low quality files, also have similiar opinion about Ares, so have not used it for ages now.
I don't use P2P apps for single tracks anymore - I have BeeMP3 and Mulve.
For full albums, What.cd and Waffles are the way to go.
For full albums use uTorrent.
For single tracks use eMule.
Soulseek for rare content.
If I only search for a single mp3 file then DC++ is best! But if I'm downloading a whole album then it's torrent or sometimes even MU!
:D
I meant MegaUpload!
I seriously don't worry about that stuff! :D
I also recommend Soulseek! You will find rarest stuff there!
mp3 search engine
It's not a program ,but this site is excellent in my opinion
and its a non BT/P2P recommendation
You know at the end of the day,the network with the most traffic is the best when it comes to p2p...
I tried shareaza yesterday coz I read it connects to a ridiculous number of networks (gnutella, Gnutella2 (G2), eDonkey, BitTorrent, FTP and HTTP network protocols and handles magnet links,[3] ed2k links, and the now deprecated gnutella and Piolet links)
It was boring and disappointing....
Any other software that has such a large connectivity?
It gets the tracks from the same place as Mulve, and uses a VPS+Tor to proxy them to you. The place was created by an FST member, and I gave him a small help with that. :gsmile:
Not necessarily. Gnutella is very big, but nowadays it's crap content-wise.
Limewire has some good stuff. But p2p is better for me
GrooveShark is the best online mp3 site.
P2P happening i offer Ares..
I prefer Soulseek
For full albums use:utorrent,Soulseek and link MU.RS and others in blogspot
For discography use:utorrent and emule
my favorite is the good old Emule :D
is sure the biggest baze for music, but i download 10-15 the same song because 90% is bad quality :(
Soulseek and IRC for single tracks.
I've used soulseek for several years and I like it
well, you missed its peak by quite a few yearsQuote:

use scene releases (check their nuke status) or OCH releases/albums by trusted uploaders (and/or from trusted sites) - you'll have very good up to excellent chances of getting high quality music in the mp3 format (with only 1 download ;) ), for top quality use FLAC & co. (and better audio equipment)Quote:

Anyone ever tried Filetopia? :unsure:
FrostWire is a great option in my opinion!
anon, that was truly a blast from the past. Filetopia doesn't return many search results anymore. I have always liked the program, but now I just keep it for a historical reference. Another program that I rarely hear about is Hotline Connect. It was one of the best kept secrets in the p2p world back in the day. It doesn't work on 64 bit OS, but it still works on 32 bit. Several underground servers have been added to it according to a couple of blogs.
I see. I tried for a while when I was looking for solutions to evade my ISP's traffic shaping (encryption), but yes... it was pretty hit and miss. Files would have few sources and slow speeds and often suddenly stopped downloading.
Hotline got a little mention right in this forum, with a tutorial on how to get it working:

Another old jewel that's supposed to still run with the right thingies is WinMX.
try emule or limewire or maybe some direct links website like warez-bb.org
Limewire's dead, right?
I mainly use torrents, soulseek and irc when looking for music. Then there's emule, dc, and even warez boards/blogs sometimes too.
Yes ofcourse its dead...Didn't your sarcasm detector twitch when you read my comment?
