They're different type of programs.. Peer Guardian doesn't 'hide' your IP, instead it utilizes a database of IPs and ranges to block, otherwise known to belong to mal/ad/spyware, riaa, mpcc, etc. Hide IP uses proxies so instead of connecting directly to the servers, it goes through another one first.

 

Aye. With that being said, which one do you think would be more effective?

Thank you for the clarification btw.

 

If you really want to be slick, use a monthly subscription based music service to download lots of stuff, then find a way to convert the DRM files into regular MP3s. The quality of the material and the speed of the download is far better than Kazaa or torrents. Converting it is tedious, but doable.

 

way too much work for me..

 

I have the same SN over there....you dont know me lol....but you post ***** to all hell I know that much

 

I had no problem with spyware from bearshare, bypassed most of it.

 

I've go 2 gigs & counting of music from Morpheus.

don if u IM me i can direct connect u limewire PRO, its already paid for and its great and easy to use

 

you're all amateur downloaders... use irc...

 

IRC first, and then torrents for me. i tried most of the torrent programs when they first came out. azureus was the best by far.

unless i missed something in the last few weeks, that's not a good idea. if you're thinking about uncompressing, and then re-compressing, you'd be getting about 25% of the original quality (if that).

 

i've been downloading since the aol, compuserve, prodigy days and dial-up bbs' were popular and windows 3.0 was around..so yeah i guess i am an amateur. hope you didn't intentionally forget about newgroups as a popular form too.

 

Torrents work great for large stuff, so does eMule. For rare stuff soulseek cannot be beaten. Bearshare lite and Limewire rock. You can download limewire pro through limewire, or at least you could. GNUcleus works from time to time. Most of it is preference, but stay away from the full versions. They tend to be loaded with spyware and crap.

 

Be carefull when you look for the soulseek site. If you go to the wrong site there is a site that has a virus.

 

Yarrrrrrr!!!

 

Yarrr?

Engrish?

 

off topic, but Don can you reply to my last PM when you get a chance? thanks

 

FTMFW!!! nuff said.

haven't had any fake or bad files for over 3 years!

 

thought I did..

 

Oh, well I sent you another one aobut how much you want me to Paypal you for the adapter and asking you to include whatever it's going to cost to ship it since I really don't have time to get down to Edison these days.

 

I'm not thinking about it. I've already done approx. 1,500 albums through that method. It's all 160kbps MP3 and it sounds exactly the same as normal 160kbps MP3 does. Haven't tried it on a true reference system yet, but on my Infinity Beta 40s, it sounds the same.

 

Need music, I have about 25,000 songs for about 120 gigs of full albums and such.... all 128+ If you need something let me know. (:

I have access to about "118 years, 31 weeks, 2 days and 7 hours (81.77 TB) of music in 14,880,601 tracks and 2,082,639 albums" but no place to store it since my 120 gig for music is full, maybe with a few donations for a larger HD, could get an FTP going ... (;
