P2P file-sharing applications (softwares)
I have always liked P2P file search because they have always given me some fruitful results. Here I am telling you about the best P2P sharing applications that are available for free.
Limewire
LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Java Platform, which uses the Gnutella network to locate and transfer files. Released under the GNU General Public License, Limewire is free software. It also encourages the user to pay a fee, which will then give the user access to LimeWire Pro. The Pro version allows you to download at very fast speeds, the search results are optimized, and the Pro version has its own unique skin.
Shareaza
Shareaza is a peer-to-peer file sharing client which supports the Gnutella, Gnutella2, EDonkey Network, BitTorrent, FTP and HTTP network protocols and which can handle magnet links, ed2k links, Piolet links, and the now deprecated Gnutella links. It is available in 27 languages. It has loads of features and download speeds are also impressive.
Kazaa
Kazaa Media Desktop is a peer-to-peer file sharing application using the FastTrack protocol. The biggest problem with Kazaa is that if you download it from its official site you will get it along with bundles of virus, trojans and spywares, although the site claims that its free from spywares. In all it doesn't stand a good reputation because its owner sharman Networks have earned a bad name for being helpful in propagating thousands of virus and trojans.
iMesh
iMesh is a file sharing and online social network. It uses a proprietary, centralized, P2P protocol. iMesh is owned by an American company iMesh, Inc. and maintains a development center in Israel. iMesh was the first company to introduce “swarming” - the ability to download one file from multiple sources, increasing download speed.
BearShare
BearShare is a peer-to-peer file sharing application originally created by Free Peers, Inc. for Microsoft Windows and currently sold by MusicLab, LLC. They have given file-sharing a new meaning. you can even see other users’ profiles, photos etc. You can chat with your friends and meet many new people there. And it support hundreds on MP3 players.
Still on the top remains limewire.
