Looking For An Mp3 or Video Downloading 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 networks that the best downloading programs use also support media other than just music files. These include files such as word and pdf documents, software programs and video 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.

Fast download speeds

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. - 16738
