Software search

Hmm. I'm looking for music for John's programs in Out Of Bounds (shhh! I know I swore off writing fanfic till after Sanskrit's complete for the quarter -- I can still play a little).

It looks like Ares isn't working any more, or at least it's not working on the school computer. Are there are P2P programs you'd recommend?

Well, certain software I'm loading on the external drive, but because of slow download times I only download music. A 350 meg avi file takes 40 hours to download on my dialup, you see. *misses Ares*

Ah, then I actually think DC could work for you. The external harddrive is good, just make sure you don't have any private stuff on it and share it all.
You download from one user at a time, and there's a lot of music hubs

Oh! That sounds good. *perks up*

Yeah, the problem is usually for people who have small drives because most big hubs (=places where a lot of users are, thus more potential material) demand you have at least so-and-so much gigabyte.
But I like it better than bittorrent because everything except the hottest releases (like, uh, HP movie on DVD a few days after it got ripped) goes much quicker and smoother. Try and see http://www.dcpp.net/

But when they write that it's easy interface, that's not completely true >_> I found it tricky in the beginning, but I probably knew a lot less about computers than you do now. It worked fine at mom's ADSL connection
