What To Look For In a Modern P2P Download Program

By Terry Hunter

Many file sharing software programs exist. You might have one of them or have heard of one of them - Ares, Kazaa etc... They are very convenient downloading programs that can allow you to download all kinds of content with an Internet connection. They are fairly safe if you have a virus scanning program and a spyware scanning program (which you should). There are a lot of these software titles, but which is best? These are things you should get in a good P2P program.

You should be able to get more than 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.

Huge user database

The bigger the user database, the more files on it. The programs tend to build on one another, and share networks in order to make the networks bigger and 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. - 15485
