What is the best????

[Specialized]

Hi guys,
I was just wondering if I could et some feedback here concerning "The Best" downloading program. I currently use WinMX, Bearshare, and Morpheus. All have their pros and cons but just wanted to hear from others on which one you think is best. I have heard about Kaaza?? Is it better?? It seems that Bearshare doesnt find many search matches. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kazaa and Morpheus are the same things just different start pages and some different icons otherwise they are both the same.

Avoid Kazaa like the plague, unless you know how to remove the spy ware. They monitor info on the downloads you are making and pass it off to third parties. It's not supposed to be malicious monitoring, but would you want some marketing guru knowing that you download The Sound Of Music Soundtrack or worse!!! Morpheus is good - just wish that it was comparable to the old Napster and Scour services...

Direct Connect is the absolutely best share program I've ever come across. A bit difficult to use at first, and some minor bugs, but as an average, if I make the effort, I get 2 to 3 full divX movies aday.

After I found Direct Connect I deleted all others.

I guess this is all going to depend on your connection speed, and the availability of the material you are after. Speaking for the U.K. many people are on dial up modems (56k) and can't enjoy broadband downloading speeds. As far as I'm aware Music City Morpheus has the largest number of users and hence the greatest range of material. (supply=demand).But I suppose if your looking to download divx's then your not going to be using a dial up modem

edonkey2000,its great u can get everything on this program, great for divX

If you go into http://www.cnet.com and enter the downloads section. This gives you ratings for each of the applications mentioned, and what people think of them. Morpheus is getting over 1 million downloads a week from this website alone!

Do you want to be a GOD?
Do u want to OWN EVERY MOVIE in theaters? every song before it comes out? every playstation game before it gets released? every cpu game before it gets released(i already have Unreal 2) and more?

Forget morpheus unless you want to dl music on the fly, forget direct connect, who needs to share?
Forget bearshare, total waste of time
Forget winMX until new release comes out at end of this year or early next
Keep eDonkey as it contains nice psx games to dl but then again, it takes forever.

THE #1 PROG OUT AND HAS BEEN THE BEST FOR A FEW YEARS IS-
mIRC

If you need help, server access, channel access or ctcp and xdc access commands, email me.

Now you know why ShiZZZoN owns everything.
