Napster gone ? Here's an even better program !!!

[vintron]

yep, that's right http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

It's called Direct Connect and works on a similar principle as Naspter.... peer-to-peer file sharing, i.e., without main storage server. It's fast (i have kit upto 186KiloBYTES/sec) and u can share what ever u want, (anything and everything.

It's not a crappy network and the previously amature-level-client has been replaced by a better and more stable client.

It's all at http://www.neo-modus.com/

I love it and am sure you will too

Thanks vintron, I'll give it a try!

Hi,
You can also try IMESH, it is pretty good as well. http://www.imesh.com

[vintron]

i tried most of the alternatives.... and imesh is a BIG waste of time. It's a crapload of ****

DC is a pretty cool program. I like it. As always be sure to scan everything you get from there.

[wyvrn]

Didn't Napster have an intermediary server? I thought that is why they could be shut down. It does not seem to me a true peer to peer system could ever be litigated, they would have to sue each person individually...

[club_med]

I am interested to know whether DC gives the user the following info:

Bitrate (This would be the most important to me).
Ping Rate.
Type of connection.
Frequency.

Has anyone tried it ?, what do you think of it ?.

Thanks,
cm.

Thanks vintron - shall give that a try. AudioGalaxy (http://www.audiogalaxy.com) is also pretty good.

[vintron]

yeah.... it does show the connection type, ping time and open slots.... and allows queuing for automatic downloads. It also supports unattended , automatic resumes. Seems like u guys didn't get the whole picture http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif , It's not just for mp3, it's for EVERYTHING, and i mean it http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif (movies, appz and everything)

Well, recently I haven't had a problem with Napster. So I shall continue using it. I have over 100 songs on CD b/c of it. And all with a 56k modem and a crappy ISP too.

[Sub-ZeroKCEM]

Hey guys i would suggest not using this program, it realy sucks, so find a different one or stick with napster untill i figure out more info

[randy48]

I tryed Direct Connect last night, about the only thing that would come up was a bunch of Warez! Antique **** at that! I'll stick with Imesh!

[jad1097]

DC may be having problems again. There are tons of movies and MP3's available if you look through the hubs.

It's stupid to predict the size of an elephant by seeing just the beasts eyes

Hi,
I have not yet tried DC yet, But you guys should check out this program called KaZaA ( www.kazaa.com (http://www.kazaa.com) )

Since peer 2 peer can be slow and alot of downloads don't go through sometimes, KaZza find every file by that name your downloading and downloads the file like off 5 poeple at once or how many have it. It's so nice any file I click to download I get it. But I will check DC out. By the way this webpage is sooo nice! I just found it today I'm supprised I haven't found it before!

[seeker205]

Oh wow! hehe, that program kick ***! KaZaa is good but that program is the best!

[Elderblaze]

BearShare is cool, i've had alot of sucess with it.

[LemonHead]
