    P2P “Peer to Peer” file sharing has grown in popularity and gained more interest among the people. I have been using uTorrent and FastestP2P for downloading and it works for me. Thanks for sharing this information.

    dear i want to use emule or any other p2p downloader which can bypass the ISA server. Inface there is prevention on using such software at our university and i want to use it.

    1. tSH

      The one which gives the encrypted connection are mostly not detected by ISA server. Moreover, use vitural private network to save your ass…

    Limewire is a resource hog! Max out my CPU all the time! I need a new one and I think I am going with uTorrent

  22. prvayl

    Utorrent is a super light weight program, and is the best for torrents, i also recommend it for music videos or anything, i use two sites for searching torrent downloads,
    http://www.torrentz.com
    http://www.bittorrentmonster.com

    torrentz.com is like a the “google” for torrents when you search on that it searches through many other torrent sites as well (like mininova.org and piratebay) and if i cant find what im looking for on torrentz.com i go to bittorrentmonster.com (DONT go on the site around your parents for those still living with them, porno adds on the side.lol)

    I get music,videos,ebooks, and software from torrents, i use to use ares, but torrents are the best way for anything, i donwload albums at a time when it comes to music, you can find discographies of your favorite artist on torrentz

    if anyone comes across a better and faster torrent p2p client then utorrent let me know

    ARES P2P is the Best. Limewire and others are heavy consume lot of CPU make system slow. Also Limewire don't have facility to show video,it always execute external media player like Windows Media Player which is irritating. And all other are are torrent downloading software, I don't know how they count them in P2P software category. Ares is both P2P and Torrent downloading supporting software then also so light

    Vote for Ares. Its King of P2P and extraordinary software.
