Top 10 Best P2P File Sharing Software

Best P2P

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

  1. As much as I love p2p programs of the past(Morpheus, KaZaA, et cetera), I ditched the whole function filled p2p programs and went with nice simple Cabos… it is my favorite.

  3. Limewire is best

  4. That is why its number 1! :-D

  5. Information is really dated. Fasted way to get something is bittorrent. And best bittorrent client is uTorrent. It’s strange that it is not mentioned.

  6. I tended not to include torrent clients. They are number 1 though.

  7. still with Morpheus have been for years ever since napster went down the original napster that is which was truly the best. Old version of Morpheus geting harder to find hense less people use it. Everyone has a different story of the who is the best. The record companies have begain to buy up the P2P sites so be carful which one you use they are tring to lock them up and make them hader to use. I have about 150gb of music and will be putting them up for everyone soon. Just need to get my server back up. Will be in touch with a link asap. KEEP IT FREE!!!!

  8. o ares é o melhor de todos os tempos!

  9. as of now limewire..i just luv it

  10. Limewire and Ares are very good downloading p2p programs indeed,also torrent proggy’s like utorrent but its not mentioned in the list because here you have dedicated P2P file sharing programs which works independently and searches for files directly from Peers/Other computers,unlike torrent programs which of course you need to find the torrent,download it,add it in the client and then the torrent program searches from the Tracker to get the Computers that share ,and then start shareing.

  11. @DeltaWing
    Yup. Your right. I dedicated this list to only P2P programs in which you download directly from other peers and not through torrents. I also made a Top 10 Best Torrent Sites list. You should check it out if you want. :)
