Today, I will be sharing with you guys a list of the 10 Best P2P File Sharing Software. I recently had a person contact me inquiring about which p2p software he should use. I personally don’t use P2P software that much but there are some files that you will only find there so it does become necessary from time to time. At first, I would suggest any person to use Bittorent but if they dont find their required files there, then p2p becomes an option. When it comes to P2P software, you need to be really careful as to which ones to use or else you can easily clog your computer with adware and spyware. This list should help those people who are looking to use a trustworthy p2p software which will fulfill their needs.
1. Limewire
Limewire is probably the best p2p software available right now. LimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Java Platform, which uses the Gnutella network to search and transfer files among users. Limewire is a free software, released under the GNU License, but it also has a Pro version which enables better optimized search results, faster downloads, tech support, etc.
2. Ares
Ares is a free open source p2p file sharing program that enables users to share any digital file. Some features that set it apart from other p2p softwares is its powerful library organizer, chat rooms, built-in audio and video player. Ares automatically finds new sources and downloads files from many users at once making it one of the fastest p2p program. Ares also has support for BitTorrent protocol and Shoutcast radio stations.
3. Bearshare
Bearshare lets you share files and download from everyone on the global Gnutella peer-to-peer information network, just like limewire. You can download the latest mp3 music, movies and much more. What sets Bearshare apart from other P2P networks is its Instant Messaging system. You can have your own profile picture and interact with other people.
4. Shareaza
Shareaza is a peer-to-peer client for Windows that allows you to download any type of file available for sharing by its users. Shareaza can connect to up to 4 separate Peer-to-Peer networks, providing access to hundreds of thousands of diverse users and making it one of the largest P2P networks around. It also has many great features with a skinnable interface and support for plugins.
5. Soulseek
Soulseek is a unique ad-free, spyware free, and just plain free file sharing application. Its unique feature is that it has virtual rooms based on p2p technology, that allow users of common interests to chat with each other. It is a great way to make new friends online.
6. Frostwire
Frostwire s a free open source p2p file sharing software. It is an open source program which means it has no spyware or adware. Some of its unique features include bittorent support, itunes integration, proxy support, and community chat rooms.
7. KCeasy
Kceasy is a safe and completely free p2p program that supports gnutella, ares, and openFT networks. KCeasy is an open source project so you can rest assured that its spyware and adware free. It currently supports only WIndows OS but you can try Poisoned for MacOS.
8.iMesh
iMesh is probably the best p2p software for downloading music and videos. It boasts of having over 15 million free songs and videos. It comes in 9 different languages which include english, french, dutch, spanish among others. It also has a mini player which allows you to play music and video files from within iMesh.
9. Kazaa
Kazaa is one of the oldest p2p program and its still kicking! Kazaa has been around for a long time meaning they have many loyal users and lots of files being shared among users. It also features built-in virus protection as well as filters to avoid adult and dangerous files from being shown. You can also customize the toolbars to your liking.
10. StrongDC++
StrongDC++ is another open source p2p software. It shares files through the Direct Connect Network. It is a modification of the program DC++ although it incorporates many other features not found in DC++. Its main features include Segmented File downloading, partial file sharing, download/upload limiter, and customization to the look and feel of the program.
If you use another p2p software, then let us know through the comments. I will also be making a list of the best bittorent clients and best bittorent sites soon. You wouldn’t want to miss it, so subscribe now.
Think this a great page came across it by mistake and now added to my favs,my least fav p2p is my 1st one limewire who charged me for hooking me up with frostwire(which is free lol),i am i must admit a bit naieve around p2p fle sharing and so going to try imesh.
Smashing page,and very helpful….thanks
even though they say imesh is #8 it is actualy the best and that goes for bearshare too limewire is charging you for it and u would need java so good choice.
music, movies, etc are what most guys that go for this p2p are looking for,
I`M LOOKING FOR VARIOUS COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS.
SO WHICH OF THIS P2P SOFTWARE OR TORRENT OFFERS THE BEST???????
of course limewire 5.2
your best bet for programs is rapidshare.com and torrents (try using utorrent, ported for Win and Mac).
Then just go to crackspider.net to get the cracks (if they aren’t in the torrent). Be sure to have your firewall guard up though. A program like Sandboxie keeps you from getting any viruses.
Where is that picture of the rainbow people doing the zorba from ?
Is it the logo for some other software of company ?
No, I don’t know its origin. I found it by searching for “p2p” on google images.
instead of using google use ask.com depending what u r asking.
Hate Limewire! I can never find anything I am looking for, and it seems to make the computer run slower.
Thanks for this wonderful informative page!
I use limewire for just about everything. It works decent as long as you use Bitzi to confirm files are legit. What would be a good torrent program that works better than Limewire for video? Are they also Bitzi capable?
I’m following up to my last post on 8/17. I just started using Utorrent and it is awesome!! Use Utorrent along with Vertor and you can pretty much find anything you seek. (please use responsibly and at own risk). Happy searching!
i came across this website… it is amazing … i think that ares is the best is show where its downloading from and downloads from many people at once …. one bad thing is it goes kinda slow but it has its own internet and chat tabs so now you have something to do when you wait
isohunt with utorrent.
What about mp3 rocket? Its one that isn’t found on any of these sites that talk about p2p file sharing software and I use it daily with excellent results..
MP3 Rocket is the bomb for real.. u r right .. even though it doesn’t get the recognition as some of the others in my opinion it works even BETTER!
…where is Utorrent in this top 10 p2p software???where is Azureus,Bitcomet,????everybody talks about limewire…but for me utorrent stands and will always remain the best…!!!! Greetings and Happy Seeding….!!!!and downloading of course!
I think you never tried FlashGet
