Anybody else use these programs? got a mail from musiccity telling me of the new morphious. I havent used another since the first morphious went off line so i decieded it's time to get myself some new tunes and the like. I went to the download report and 67% say its crap so I decieded against it. I thought about kazza but have been told it's full of spyware!?!?!?
And morphious seems to be the same...
So I've decieded to try XoloX, however this seems real slow and just seems to search all the time when your downloading something. This has no spayware whatsoever but does seem abit crap to me.

What does everyone else use and what do you make of them?

Apriciate your input.

I use kazaa for downloads and PestPatrol (about $20) to keep the spyware and other nasties at bay. Got broadband so I use ZoneAlarm firewall too. The amount of adware I get is bearable enough not to use anything special to defeat it.

HTH

 

Grokster uses the same network as Morpheous and KaZaA, and doesn't contain spyware.

 

Crypt

I've tried a few, Morpheous, edonkey, audiogalaxy.

The best I've found is Kazaa lite all the benefits without the spyware

Nick

 

does me head in hardly anyones has massive connections

What difference does band width make?

Si

 

Bandwidth makes a LOT of difference, the more you have the faster you will get what you are after.

 

thought so kinda like a road, wider it is, more you over take

 

Or more scope for power slides

 

This contains spyware too. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

The only one's I can find is kazaa light which doesnt seem to be working ATM (download site) and the one I have which is slow and basically has little users so is really slow. XoloX

 

lol yep more slidding lol

 

For those intrested I decieded to go with kaazaalite same as kazza but uses a fake dll file instead of the ad and spyware.

Brill service and totally faster to download the tunes I want.

Try http://www.blubster.com

No idea if it's full of ad/spy junk though.

 

what exactly does spyware do?

 

Beware of Blubster !!

I got constant port scans when using it. Got the hump and reset my cable modem in the end to get rid of them [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

 

been using kazaa lite for a few days now after aimster shutting down, then audiogalaxy shutting down.

Everything i've searched for has been there and download speeds have been absolutely fantastic. can't complain.

Only wish there was an option to choose the quality of music/videos downloaded. i.e 190kbps instead of 128..

 

As Im reading this Im using Grockster....and d/l Kazaa lite

Gonna boot grock off as soon as its finished my tooooons, then try KL

I HATE ads...and pop-ups...and banners...and Ive got ADSL, so they appear faster than I can shut the damn things down!!!!!!!

 

Just hold down alt and f4. Works a treat. I use edonkey and the normal kazaa. I would say kazaa is better for smaller files but edonkey is better for the larger ones.

 

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ supply free ad-spyware-banner removing software which searches in your registry and hard disks for known spy-ware programs registry keys and give you the options to remove it.

I use it; it comes in handy just run it every month or when ever there is a problem.

 

you guys may want to try WinMX, it is more flexable than kazzar & you are able generate more results on searches. No spyware or ads.
