Looking For An Mp3 or Video Downloading Program?

By Terry Hunter

There are a lot of file sharing programs that you can use out there, such as Kazaa, Limewire, Napster etc. These programs are very convenient for downloading music, video and more off the net. Many people believe they can be dangerous, but it's easy to keep viruses and spyware off your computer by having an anti-virus program. Out of all the programs out there, which is the best? Here's what to look for.

Ability to download all kinds of files, not just mp3s.

The best downloading programs that you can get also get you files such as video files, software programs and documents - more than just music files.

Large number of users

As the network of users grows, so does its number of files. Many of the programs tend to share each other's networks so that they get bigger and downloading files becomes faster.

Speedy Downloads

Network size plays a part because the more people there are to download from, the faster you can download, but it also depends on how the program finds users to download from for you. Your download program should be able to keep the number of people you are downloading form high so you get the best download speed at all times.

Your P2P program should also be ad-free and be very easy to use. The last thing you want to have is a program on your computer that is impossible to use or is very spammy. - 15634
