The best p2p software

Torrent & p2p? Are they the same? Basically yes, both share files among computers. But there's some differences in functionality, each with its advantages & disadvantages. To download a torrent, first you need a software, you can download it free on the internet, bitcomet & azureus are some of the most popular out there. Second, you need a torrent tracker, without it the software is useless. How do you find these tracker? You can find it on website or forum that let user's to share their tracker. The only website I can remember right now is mininova.org. Search for the file name and download the tracker of that file. If you can't find it that's mean there's no one sharing the file you are looking for.

P2p is quite different from torrent when searching for a file. You don't have to search for website or forum to find tracker, such function has built in the p2p software itself. Depends on the p2p software you are using, it'll search on some of the most famous network such as edonkey & gnutella server. Those who are connected to the p2p network server will be sharing files among their computer's.

Now, the question you have been waiting for, which is the best p2p software? In my own experiences, limewire & shareaza are among the best. Limewire are only good for downloading songs/music. Personally, I preferred shareaza as you will be able to find some rare video as well beside songs. Shareaza is more versatile, you can find lots of music, video, software across gnutella & edonkey server. There's a lot of file in the network, but also a lot of junk file containing viruses. So be extra careful when you are downloading files in .rar compressed format. It's very important for you to scan every files you downloaded from torrent or p2p before viewing the actual content. This is the disadvantages of using p2p software, you wouldn't know if the file you are downloading are fake or not. And you can't find any comments on that file like torrent. Since you'll be downloading tracker from a website or forum, usually you can find some user's discussing the file assumed that it's popular. That information can be used to verify the authority of that file. If the file is not working or contained viruses, someone will post it there to warned others.
