I do use BitTorrent, but it’s never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.
For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.
I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?
soulseek, fopnu, emule, dc++. For old/rare content, emule is the best.
Wow, I haven’t used the old school P2P programs in over a decade. I honestly didn’t think they existed anymore for some reason.
They’re going hard still
Synology’s Download Station introduced me to emule. I don’t think there’s a more polished client for it than DS.
Which client would one use for Emule nowadays?
for windows I recommend community version (November 2021). For Mac, aMule 2.3.3 (February 2021) and for GNU/Linux, mldonkey 3.1.7 (July 2020)
