Help me out?

I'm looking for a program similar to Limewire (you know eh.. to share my school files ).

I've had Napster, Kazaa, eMule and Torrent before and now Limewire, up until last week when it stopped working. I can open it, but it just won't connect to the network.
I've reinstalled a couple of times, disabled the firewall thing, downloaded new Java software..

Anyone have any suggestions?

ps. If this is against the rules, please delete it and let me know. I don't think it is though.

Try to look for Ares Galaxy.

It is.

Ares or a bittorrent client.

Note: Hipn didn't write this, it was his cousin who used his acount because it was auto signed in everytime, and on 'Remember Me'

Well, whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answers to all the important questions.

Try that. Might work.

I'd recommend either Torrents (BitComet) or Direct Connect (DC ++).

And no, it's not against the rules as long as you're not planning on downloading anything illegal


edit: at lpasso.sor

Thanks for the help (so far) guys. I'll try that Ares thing.

..and I knew there were going to be a lot of silly spammers in here trying to be funny.

It is.

Well.. smartass, show me the rule where it says I can't ask for a download program? I'm not asking for copyrighted files right here, just a program..
In the mean time, take this: "Try to avoid making one or two word posts in discussions."
And lpasso, correct the Grampa before Spelling Nazi Cy finds out.

bearshare baby.

I used Morpheus, try giving it a go if you want

Best program ever!!!!

Thanks for posting wankster, now hes never gonna use the program.

Could you two settle this in school?

You could try Shareaza aswell, I used to use it until it decided to up & die on me one day. (Similiar to what Limewire did to you, but I can use Limewire now, can't use Shareaza. Stupid things.)

I use Ares Galaxy for music.

BitComet or any variant for downloading a large file.

I use Limewire for small files. I still have shareaza to download bigger files, but for some reason the speed dosent go above 3 kB. Other than that its all good!

Bit Comet if you're looking for big files (teh_full_p0rn_movies) and I'd use Limewire for music.

I use would recommend bearshare for smaller school files and Azureus (torrents) for the larger ones.

Ah, I'll pretend I didn't see that.

As for smaller files, though it's probably not as fast, but I use eMule. For the bigger ones, I use Azureus. Alternatively BitComet works well too.

I had the same problem with LimeWire, but unlike yours, mine was resolved with turning off the firewall. But i have to keep turning it on and off all the time though.

Win MX-this internet site with the top 10 sites for free shareware programs just recently rated it no.1 overall for convenience and no viruses, spy ware etc. that or Ares as everyone else said

Bearshare Pro!!

OK, so I got Ares and so far no complaints.
I still use Azureus/Torrent for bigger files, but I hate how it doesn't have a built-in search engine.

But i have to keep turning it on and off all the time though.

In the menu where you turn the firewall on and off, you can also set programs to which the firewall won't apply, eg. I had my firewall on except in Limewire.
