p2p software

[supraking92]

fairly new to linux, ubuntu to be exact, and comming from a windows background iwas just wondering what the best p2p software is for linux, limewire, ares etc, or if i should just not use one at all, thanks

I never use any of those.

For torrents you have transmission by default installed but i feel much comfortable with the interface of Deluge.

Those applications you mentioned are, in my opinion, old-tech junk infested downloaders.

Bittorrent is far superior in my opinion and a much more secure protocol. For instance:

- you don't share folders, just single files.
- people don't browse your computer

I also vote for Deluge.

If you really want to use Limewire, there is a linux version called frostwire.

you can also use gtk-gnutella as a limewire alternative and defiently check out Deluge for torrents

sudo apt-get install deluge gtk-gnutella

well the real reason is for just getting single songs, instead of torrenting an entire album and only checking off one song
