p2p on macs (limewire, etc)

are applications like limewire usable on apple computers? sorry guys, im totally a newb when it comes to apple, and am just trying to find out as much as i can before i make the switch.. i mainly use my computer for music, internet and word processing, but the other 2 categories are of no problem. :batman:

Yep there are mac compatible versions of most psp clients:

Limewire, Bittorrent and Xfactor all spring to mind...

I'm sure we don't need to go over the legalities of P2P..

Just your warning!

oh of course we dont, why would i ever do such a thing! :robot:

bittorrent and tomatoe torrent are great, limewire is fast for individual songs, but the tracks are often encoded too low. with the other 2, you get full albums at a time including album covers and such, high encoded. xnap is pretty good too.

ive heard of bittorrent, but not tomatoe and xnap.. are those both torrent clients?

tomatoe torrent is a torrent client, xnap is sorta like winmx on pc, only better.

I would recommend poisoned as a better p2p, it's been around for a while, it's stable, functional, no spyware! and connects to all the networks including Windows - PC users

Torrents are good for fast access to large files, but you can search for .torrent links with poisoned and get loads of links

sweet, thank u!

poisoned is not good, its just like aquisition, a little different, but either way, they both get poor results, and even poorer amount of files actually download.

i like poisoned, it connect all p2p networks together

deffinetly go with aquisition. its great, all i can say

Well if you want to spend your do$h then pay for acquisition but poisoned is free and open sourced

Edonkey is one of the best.

aquisiotion is lame, I still thin bittorrent/tomatoe torrent are the best, that and xnap.

p2p on mac

I was concerned about p2p options when I switched from windows not long ago. Then I tried X-factor which pulls from both the fast track and nutella networks. I found everything I wanted. This along with BitTorrents works like a charm- :mac:

okay so i guess the next helpful thing would be links for available download(s) of these software(s) you guys are recommending.. ? thanks in advance.

Try poisoned its free and has no spyware or xfactor links below

I'm a PC user just switched so I'm used to Kazaa Lite and Ares both awesome on PC. But when I asked a mac friend what they use they suggested limewire so I used it a bit on my PC. It runs really good and has great results and is fast, I reall ylike it. On the mac its the same, I actually don't even use ares or kazaa on my pc anymore now and stick to limewire. Just make sure yo uwait a few mins when u start it so it connects well and has excellent results.
