Anybody else ue I-mesh, while we are talking about file sharing?
as the title, anybody else use Imesh.
Probs or anything??
seems ok to me, tries to do a few little things like an extra IE toolbar but easy to remove (or so it seems)
Very fast downloads and seems to queue for less time than most progs.

I've not used torrents much but I wanted to watch something I forgot to record and I found it on UKnova and downloaded it with bittorrent, but
now I've found another torrent program called utorrent which seems faster so I'm giving that a try.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

was just thinking the exact same, I have no idea!
I just get a programme that I can search for stuff on and then download it!
I-Mesh is one of those programmes, seems really simple, always finds live sources and fast downloads.

Hey guys.
I've been using Imesh for about 5 years (on and off) and on the whole I think it is a great file sharing program. Easy to use. and you can
usually find what you are looking for on there no matter how obscure.
HOWEVER!!! I would say be a little bit careful of what you download on there, especially if you are downloading .exe files as there are quiet a few
trojens and assorted other gremlins on there. Basically when you look through your search reasults keep one eye on the file size... if it seems
particularly small avoid it at all costs... The larger files seem to be ok.
If it's music you want to download thou you might also want to check out WinXP (I think that's what it's called). While not as quick
as imesh in terms of queuing time it has a much larger music archive and I've yet to think up a song that I haven't found on there.

Do you mean WinMX? I know that program was around a while ago for downloading music.

I have been using mininova to find torrents and BitLord to download them, seems very fast so far and i havent had any problems yet.
great for downloading complete albums, whereas Imesh seems to be individual songs......but then i am no expert!

Using I-Mesh at the moment without too many issues. Seems pretty sound.
Used Morpheus, Kazzaa and Limewire in the past and had problems with all of them but that's probably just me
Not tried WinMx yet although I know people who say it is good.
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

basically a with a torrent what happens is one person "seeds" the file, byt this i mean this is where the file comes from originally, the
torrent software then splits this file into lots of little chunks.
Then we get Rita and Sue who download litle bits of this file, then Bob comes along who also wants this file but the software knows that Rita and Sue
both have bits of this file so his software gets some bits from Rita and some bits from Sue.
Basically its helps spread the load of serving a file between multiple people.
i use shareazza which is an open source client so you know their isnt any nasty spyware in it which a lot of other p2p software has, apparently.

Azureus is a popular and good bittorrent client, also open source and hence clean of all malicious stuff.

Thought all the common sharing software did this?
Certainly seems to be how Emule, Kazaalite, edonkey, soulseek etc etc all seem to work.

Me too....
I thought torrenting was p2p file sharing. You don't choose who you share with on any of the systems mentioned so they are all the same.

Yeah they are all similar in respect of how they split files up etc.
However they all have their own way of working and network protocols, ie edonkey, gnutella, torrents etc.
