I'd hate to be queuing up with Shareaza for a file to dwnld. lol From what I've seen it's a queue jumper or should I say, it literally pushes all others out of the way (off the queue) to get to the top of the queue. In primary school, I think we had a name for those types of characters. Certainly not very sociable on the p2p network. Such a friendly p2p app. I also can't ever remember having been able to dwnld from a Shareaza app. which suggests its name is somewhat out of place (share...share what!???) Steal & steal band frequency I think. Ah how could I be so hard! When 2 apps mediate/communicate b/w each other, they should do it in a communal way. Not I take, I take, I take ... (My Shareaza anim went wrong & I'm too tired to fix it up. blert)

Shareaza cant push others off the queue, its impossible.

If thats what seems to happen to you, then perhaps you should explain whatexact happens. Im a long time Shareaza user and know the program inside out.

Lord of the Rings November 8th, 2004 03:06 PM

OK fine! Shareaza starts off bottom of a queue of about 20. Then suddenly one or 2 lw users disappear off the list & Shareaza moves up. The LW users join again below it. Then the same happens to the next one/2 LW in the queue...all the way until the shareaza user reaches no.1 And if out of my thoughts of unfairness, I delete it from the list it repeats the exact process over & over! You trying to tell me that's sociable p2p behaviour? Somethun' ain't quite right there, eh!?! If you're a Shareaa user how the heck would you know about something like that. All you would inference is that your app moves up the queue.

Lord of the Rings November 8th, 2004 03:32 PM

My intention is NOT to 'hang it' on any other p2p app. despite the sounds of it. But there's obviously something wrong here. Shareaza is not the only app I've noticed do this, but also another. It's purely a statement I've made out of experience of using LW. I've never used S. or most of the others so I can't comment about their effectiveness (even be it apparently at the sake of other apps) ... I've only use 2 other p2p apps & they were all mac. So take my comments as suggested & not as a hang it reference. Oh what a mess of a post or 2. lol:) Maybe I should fix that anim after all lol I tried to combine 2 anims which is why it stuffed up ..oh what the..

Shareaza has rotating queues (meaning they cancel you to upload to another user). Also the average upload speed from shareaza is lower than others clients because Shareza is multinetwork.

Ciao

Red Ranger November 8th, 2004 04:25 PM

Cough
Shareaza appears faster then others i have tryed.


And im always waiting in queues, i hate queues.

Can i just say, this is why BitTorrent sucks :P

So that was it....

My God, that's really annoying. The only source for certain file was a Shareaza user and the download had to start again, and again, and again....

Red Ranger November 9th, 2004 01:22 PM

I dont see how its annoying, It means you dont have to wait in queues forever.

Indipendent Developer March 11th, 2005 02:10 PM

I m new on gnutella. What does mean the Quality Parameter i saw in LimeWare? is it may be the number of gnutella nodes connected?



bye

I....Shareaza

Because it's plain N' Simple



www.Shareaza.com

pengiranijam April 17th, 2005 07:26 PM

I choose Shareaza because it's can connect to another Gnutella client ;)



I like Shareaza.......... :p

Icewater101 May 22nd, 2005 05:00 PM

I use imesh and limewire

sterss June 16th, 2005 10:41 AM

:D Limewire

I_Have_No_Account June 16th, 2005 10:48 AM

Sub7even because it has so many extra features.

trap_jaw4 June 16th, 2005 10:52 AM

telnet because it's more customizable than any other client

Cybergenetic July 4th, 2005 08:23 AM

Bearshare is the best Gnutella client I've used... the only thing i disklike about it, is the somewhat annoying animated bear. On the contrary, if it was a picture of a real bear I'd not be bothered...

reyjfb July 30th, 2005 02:56 AM

Cabos is the only client that completed downloads on my system in less than 20 minutes

wolf421 August 20th, 2005 04:02 PM

clients ....my thoughts.
 
I have used or tried most clients out on the net for p2p networks.
I first tried kazza, it worked fine until it got shut down. Some minor bugs in it. but hey it worked. Then I went to shareza same thing new gui interface and multi-network capable. Worked fine with verison 1. But that all changed when they updated the software. It went to hell in a hand basket, never could download anything without it be fake or corupted in some way. Then it was bearshare nice program hated the interface and all the silly pop-ups wanting me to upgrade etc. Now I'm useing limewire 4.9.23. the latest on the net. DL's run faster than anything I ever got on shareza or kazza. etc. The other night I was dl'ing a file and it was almost 200KBPS transfer rate!!
Now show me a client that will give that to you for free! And even tells you when an update is out and lets you select what type of update you want.
In short Limewire is the one I will use until something comes along thats better..:D

Is TrustyFiles. It does have alot of negatives (very persistant popup ads - my poor adwatch is exhausted), and it went through a period of time when it kept closing after opening, then suddenly cured itself. The positive is that it connects to 4 Gnutella networks (Bearshare, Emule, and 2 others), and I was able to find things I couldn't find anywhere else.

Lord of the Rings March 3rd, 2006 11:08 AM

The negative about sharing on more than one network at one time of course is the sacrifice in bandwidth & affect it has on other networks. There's at least one network where you can only downld as fast as you upload. Then if people are uplding from you one one or more networks, what happens to people on the other networks you're connected to? They suffer!!! They either can't connect or get incredibly slow downlds from you. That's why multi-network programs tend to not work so well whilst they allow multi-network connection at one time. On Gnutella, I'm sure most people would be aware how slow & unreliable Shareaza (Raza) can be. This also applies to the others such as morpheus & Gnucleus, etc. This is not an opinion, it is fact. If these programs only connected to one network at a time, then problem solved. (else dedicating a minimum of 5 KB/s per upload slot per network connected to at the time might work if there's the bandwidth to allow this.)

terryt June 3rd, 2006 11:33 PM

I love limewire it's by far the best p2p network i have tried i tried pro and went back onto the free one tho i hated how it looked and it was too complicated.Apart from the viruses on programmes the child porn,the youv'e won and the dancing girl video it's perfect.

garbagefan2 June 4th, 2006 05:41 PM

i put other also which is frostwire

1337_ August 16th, 2006 11:19 AM

  1. LimeWire
  2. FrostWire
  3. Morpheus

Dark Guy April 10th, 2007 06:19 PM

I, for my concept, use the giFT plattform, it's very easy to use and connects to the nets that it has plugins for, it is so efficient, GNU and GPL licensed, no crapware, no ads, no PRO version (only one free version), it's excellent, for now, i'm connecting to G1, G2 Aresnet and OpenFT

Dark Guy April 10th, 2007 06:20 PM

Also, i use Fw as a dedicated G1 client

Dark Guy April 10th, 2007 06:22 PM

I usually use Shareaza only with G1 and G2, that way, i limit the amount of pain, specially, not downloading from Edonkey (unlimited queue times)

benj April 28th, 2007 02:22 PM

i usually use frostwire but sometimes limewire i just like it better:)

aragorn24 April 30th, 2007 05:28 PM

My favorite is Limewire pro..

I have tested Shareaza,bearshare,frostwire and mopheus also..But Limewire pro is far better then all the others together.. In my opinion!

theBrettman October 17th, 2007 03:21 PM

Shareaza wins hands down on all platforms. It is opensource so it is 100% free and it also uses the edonky2000 network giving you more peers to download from. Alot of files are on both networks.

Neglacio October 17th, 2007 09:18 PM

Yeah, I've voted for G2 clients.
There are many reasons, like extendability, broadcast searching, and many others!
But Shareaza is still my favorite :D
It has the nicest GUI if ever known, and the skinning engine is awesome!

And the comments from LW fans that say that if you use Shareaza, you sacrifice upload bandwidth, are not right anymore!
At this time, LW implemented a DHT (Prove me if I'm wrong, but a DHT is a seperate network) and BitTorrent. So, LW's will automatically spread his bandwidth.
And when they're downloading a torrent, it's exactly the same.
(Does LW recognize SHA1 hashes inside a torrent? Like those made by torrentcreators like TorrentAid? So not the BTIH, but the SHA1 of a single file torrent)

sb4100 November 14th, 2007 11:43 AM

i loved bearshare but they blocked it so it is the worst now i now have to use limewire :(

Neglacio November 14th, 2007 01:45 PM

Why don't you use Shareaza or Phex?
They're both capable of using more connections then Lime, are much more cute and powerful :p
Enjoy REAL open-source!

kkh03 July 24th, 2008 08:56 PM

Limewire is the most popular?
 
I use Shareaza....
How about Limewire?:rolleyes_2::)

cootmaster July 24th, 2008 09:35 PM

Frost i used bear but that went down drain
anyway i op fw support soooo:D
i voted lime bc frost isnt here frost- lime pro for free

OldDeath October 17th, 2008 02:12 PM

Shareaza is (one of) the best clients out there.
Multi-net, open source, very high dl speeds, tons of features and customizations... what do you need more?

Peerless October 17th, 2008 02:41 PM

BearShare beta blows with forced UP mode blows the socks offa any gnutella client I've ever used...period....

haterags January 6th, 2009 04:11 AM

Limewire

cootmaster January 6th, 2009 03:12 PM

Tabithalongman January 10th, 2013 09:44 PM

Till then I won't use, and won't recommend using it, because I think, that it says nothing good about the programmers to do marketing like that.

very good :xirokrotima:
