Which software doe you folks use for getting your "free" tunes?

I've been running Limewire, which (and correct me if I'm wrong) runs of the Gnutells Network. Unfortunately, it's a bit limited for my musical tastes - any suggestions chaps?
 
Bearshare is pretty good too

Soulseek for my albums,

Areslite for single mp3's and if I cant find what I want on Ares I'll resort to eMule.
 
i prefer not to use p2p; not saying its not good, for singles its good but for albums use either:

-irc, use a program called mirc (www.mirc.com) and you use websites such as ircspy.com

-torrents, use a client ie shareaza/azureus, and websites to get torrents ie torrentspy.com, newnova.org


irc is better for speed in my opinion, if its no hassle waiting in queues, use torrents.
 
i have irc but cant work out how to use it? any help?
 
first you want to change a few program options goto tools, options, dcc: change the ignore method to disabled, i have mine set to auto get file and resume (just less for me to do) also do the connect on startup etc

make sure you have a nickname and name etc filled in so they dont kick you for no username..

look for a file you want somewhere like ircspy.com, in the list of results, look for the #number, to the left of it will be a little icon, click this,it'll copy some text into your clipboard and will bring up a prompt box in mIRC, click ok to the change channels/connect window and wait for the chat room type window to load up. Then paste the copied text into there and press enter.

if you see things within the irc room that you want, look for the persons username, and the packet number (eg #20)

then type /ctcp [username] xdcc send [#packet number]

ie /ctcp rhysb xdcc send #2

sometimes you may need to register in certain rooms.. just go to the main channel window in mirc, type /msg nickserv register [wanted password] [email address] ie /msg nickserv register password [email protected]

then to login its /msg nickserv [username][password]...i think, havent used it in a while.

that should start you off...

I use Shareaza 2. it uses gnuttela 1 & 2 and also eDonkey 2000

works well for me, well apart from finding series 2 episode 10 of lost! Grrrr
 
azureus for bittorrent is all i need, joined at a few comunities speed is fantastic, most files max out my 2mb broadband, get new eps of lost and smallville within an hour and a half of them being shown in america!

dont know how i could live without it!
 
Damn thats fast, can u help me find my missing episode of lost?
 
sorry not allowed to post the websites with it being a private tracker but if you search around enough you'll find private trackers for tv shows, films, music, porn. but then getting in is another problem!

if you using bittorrent, the public trackers ie piratebay, isohunt etc will have wot your after, just not as fast and reliable
 
thanks for your help, its gonna be slowly but surely, 9% so far . . .
 
on the subject of lost im assuming episode 13 hasnt been aired in america yet??? as there arent torrents for it yet
 
I believe its something to do with the super bowl being on. Quite a few series took a break for a week.
 
bloody hell thats great i got episodes 10,11 and 12. gonna watch them all :)

Your right about Lost being postponed because of the superbowl. Check www.next-episode.net , it tells you when you can expect torrents to be available for lots of tv programs.

For both albums and singles www.torrentspy.com using with BitComet is you best bet.
You can select which files in each torrent you want to download so as long as its not zipped up you can download 1 or 2 songs from an album or the entire thing (for evaluation purposes of course ;) )

Call the bacon counter at Macro, see if they can help.
