Best P2P app?
« on: 14 May 2005, 03:34 »
What do you guys think is the best P2P program to use? By best I mean the best combination of ease of configuring under wierd router firewall circumstances, program efficiency, and most importantly amount of content available. I'm currently using eMule.

I was using Ares Galaxy until I discovered KCeasy the other day.

I use giFTd with giFTcurs (GUI), fasttrack (Kazaa), openFT, and gnutella plugins.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Same here, I don't even bother using giFT because the other networks arent even worth it. Plus, gtk-gnutella is the best gnutella client I have used anyway.
The meaning of my username "BobTheHob":
It is well known that "Bob" is a nickname for robert in modern times, a lesser known nickname for robert is that of "Hob". Hob is a nickname for robert from the "Middle English" dialect. This is the version of english spoken and written around the late middle ages. Thus my username can be percieved like "RobertTheRobert" which is redundant. As I always like to say "Simplicity in redundancy, and elegance in simplicity".
