What You Want In An Advanced P2P D/L Program

By Terry Hunter

There are many file sharing programs out there. Some that you might have heard of are Ares, Kazaa, Morpheus etc... These are great and useful programs for downloading all kinds of content with other users of the software. Contrary to popular belief they are fairly safe - just don't download any .exe files and make sure you have a virus scanning program on. There's lots to download from these programs, but which is the best one? These are the qualities you should look for in a good P2P download program.

Can download more than just music files.

The file sharing network of the best P2P programs now offer you the ability to download all kinds of media including pdfs, images, documents, software programs and much more in addition to mp3s.

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
