Help me out?

Postby cklitsie on Wed Feb 01, 2006 6:44 am

I'm looking for a program similar to Limewire (you know eh.. to share my school files :shifty: ).

I've had Napster, Kazaa, eMule and Torrent before and now Limewire, up until last week when it stopped working. I can open it, but it just won't connect to the network.
I've reinstalled a couple of times, disabled the firewall thing, downloaded new Java software..

Anyone have any suggestions?

ps. If this is against the rules, please delete it and let me know. I don't think it is though.

I'd recommend either Torrents (BitComet) or Direct Connect (DC ++).

And no, it's not against the rules as long as you're not planning on downloading anything illegal :wink:

Thanks for the help (so far) guys. I'll try that Ares thing.

Well.. smartass, show me the rule where it says I can't ask for a download program? I'm not asking for copyrighted files right here, just a program.. :roll:
In the mean time, take this: "Try to avoid making one or two word posts in discussions."
And lpasso, correct the Grampa before Spelling Nazi Cy finds out. :wink:

You could try Shareaza aswell, I used to use it until it decided to up & die on me one day. (Similiar to what Limewire did to you, but I can use Limewire now, can't use Shareaza. Stupid things.)

Bit Comet if you're looking for big files (teh_full_p0rn_movies) and I'd use Limewire for music.

Ah, I'll pretend I didn't see that.

As for smaller files, though it's probably not as fast, but I use eMule. For the bigger ones, I use Azureus. Alternatively BitComet works well too.

I had the same problem with LimeWire, but unlike yours, mine was resolved with turning off the firewall. But i have to keep turning it on and off all the time though. :evil:

OK, so I got Ares and so far no complaints.
I still use Azureus/Torrent for bigger files, but I hate how it doesn't have a built-in search engine.

In the menu where you turn the firewall on and off, you can also set programs to which the firewall won't apply, eg. I had my firewall on except in Limewire.
