Another Program to Download Music

[Colonel Sanders]

So yeah Limewire suddenly stopped working for whatever reason, it shuts down 2 seconds after it gets to it's main and I've done everything I could from reading support..doesn't make any sense.

But anyways yeah is there another good program besides limewire I can use to get my music :/

Bittorrent, and it doesnt come bundled with a bunch of crap that robs bandwidth.

Its a bittorrent client shootout article

Popular clients

lol well yeah I've got a bitorrent client...UTorrent

But that doesn't solve my problem, torrent is good for downloading things such as whole albums..but for single songs...especially ones that are not as popular...applications such as limewire is far better.

Try Shareaza (http://www.shareaza.com/) - I used many P2P clients and I think Shareaza is the best .

I usually find that if i want a single song, just download the torrent album and deselect the rest of the tracks (bar the one song that you want) and Utorrents pretty good for getting single tracks that way

yeah thats what i do for single songs

[Dymond]

Actually thats the easiest way to do it. If you use BT search engines like BTJunkie.org you can even search within files so you can find a song you want buried within huge mp3 archives. Since using BT Junkies file search there isn't one MP3 I've been looking for that I haven't been able to find. I then grab the torrent, deslect all then find the song I want and I'm done.

www.frostwire.com


awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[Colonel Sanders]

frost wire? Looks exactly like limewire in the pics.....just white instead of green.

Do you have a college email account or a friend that would have one? If so, try ruckus.com. I've heard plenty of great things about it, but I graduated college a while ago and haven't had a chance to try it out without having to pay for it. On that note, if someone in college wants to make a free account and give me the info, I would be thankful.

http://www.b3ta.cr3ation.co.uk/ - Another search and download music site. After you searched, you can switch over to jukebox mode and then preview the files before downloading them. Not a horrible site considering you don't have to download anything for it.

You can use Google to find songs too.

Simple version: /indexof "<song or artist name>" .mp3

Complex version: -inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:"index of" +"last modified" +"parent directory" +description +size +(wma|mp3|ogg) "<song or artist name>"

[Ero-Sennin]

Emule 0.47C

is a very good P2P search engine and downloads are good.I always have found what I was looking for.

YAMOUR.COM select the mp3 search engish and u might found poppular song.. dont try anything underground.

[steff]

sharethefiles.com - great eMule link listings.

[Colonel Sanders]

I finally got limewire to work thank god. Thanks for the suggestions anyways though guys, some helpful things I didn't know about before.

[PunkRock]

Soulseek

Again, do bittorrent or go underground to IRC, communication is key.

[Dymond]

man I haven't done IRC for files in AGES.. back in the old 90s scene.

Been awhile for me also, but you can pretty much find anything down there if you are savvy enough.

[Colonel Sanders]

I've never used IRC

Yeah and if you can get past the egos of the whole 1337 scene.

[steff]

Is it actual IRC chat rooms where people give you the music/games/software/movies?

[Dymond]

yeah DCC transfers

[steff]

How are the speeds? Where abouts are the chat rooms? What files do they have? I mean are they lsted or do you have to request a particular file? What about UseNext? I hear that's pretty decent too but know fuck all about it.

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the arse it's just users opinions are better than a websites own boasting of it. :P

[Dymond]

well I think UseNext is some sort of automated way to pull files from Newsgroup binaries. A few sites tried doing it on their own but it sounds like there wasn't alot of interest in it. I would have to do more research but I know its something they wanted you to buy so that waved me off. As for the IRC rooms..For lack of a better word its a free for all out there. Its been awhile since I've been on them but if I see Shiro around I'll ask him for some good ones.
