Try the Limewire program. I have had a lot of luck with it so far. Beyond that, you have to pay for the better progs. :\

Limewire all the way, everything else has viruses or doesn't have a good collection.

They must be talking about legally, because we of course don't discuss illegal downloads of copyrighted material. ^_~

I shoulda asked before...what is it doing to your computer that classifies it as 'bad'? Slow-down is kinda normal becaus emost of the free programs run on pop ups(Limewire doesn't, it just runs at a slower DL reate); if it is causing freezing, it could be that the program(ie: Kazaa) doesn't scan the files thouroughly and they bring in virus'.
Your best bet is still Limewire though.(And if you can afford to shell out the $30 go with the Pro version; it's sooo much faster.)

Hey, thanks. :) I've been trying out several programs like Kazaa and BitTorrent, but I think they're pretty slow.

Kazaa BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!!

Use Limewire or Bit torent. Limewire works good for music.

Azarus is a good one for torents. You just need to find the right torent sites. Torents are great for animes.

Do you have a router? If so thats probably why its so slow downloading. Try finding out what port the programs use then open that port through your router. Only do this when your running the programs since it could lead to a security issue if you leave ports open when theres nothing running on them. When its open you should see a great increase in speeds. This is becuse your router/firewall gateway is no longer trying to protect you on that specific port.

Limewire uses a p2p network, bittorrent uses a seed, winMX uses p2p network's + splits, XDCC packs. There all good choices but id watch out for anything you get from a p2p network. Torrents are looked at as a better way of getting what you want becuse of the unique style of downloading and such.

I honestly only use winMX, XDCC, and abc bit torrent client. If you looking for anime eps look into XDCC since its by far faster then all the other methods. isohunter has a nice filder for torrents, XDCC..

Just my input.

Bittorrent is the safest , thereare lots of BT sites that do music and you can get a very fast connection if you have your ports set right and of course there are at least a few seeders
