Kazaa Question

[jublee]

Hi,

I'm currently using Kazaa lite, but each time i try and download music it will play the first few seconds then i get an awful aqueeking noise, does anyone know of any other file sharing programs?


Thanks

I've heard of this problem, and I believe it has to to with corrupted files being shared on purpose. Never had the prob though.

Other file sharing progs people use include WinMX, Morpheus, Bearshare, and File Donkey, among others.

yep, i's an riaa type thing. usually find these downloads are really fast with lots of bandwidth/sources. i know people who stopped using kazaa for this reason. try www.shareaza.com

This is a very common problem. About 8 out of 10 MP3's are corrupted for me.

I have now moved on to WinMX and think it is excelent, downloads may not be as fast but there is lots of very high quality files that you cannot find on Kazaa.

Morpheus is a dreadful P2P service, avoid at all costs!

Thanks for the recommendations guys, just downloaded Winmx & shearaza.

Thanks

I've never had that problem, though I don't use it as much as I used to and I don't download popular crap. I've moved on to eMule. It's corruption free in every aspect and some say that it's impossible to corrupt (at least on the scale that Kazaa has gotten to).

I had a look on emules website a while back but couldn't figure out how to d/l

It only gets complicated when you're behind a router. Then you have to forward the ports to your computer and what not. Besides that, it's pretty simple.

It's not as fast as Kazaa, but no where near the amount of corruption. Plus, you can download complete albums and discographies!

EDIT: Which reminds me, it's not the best for single songs except for the more popular ones. Definitely good for albums and discographies though.
