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.

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

A bigger network and user database provides the network with more files. Some of the P2P programs share networks so that downloading is faster and there are more files on the network.

Speedy Downloads

The number of users on the network is important because if there are more users with you file it can download to your computer much faster. The ability of the P2P program to find you users on the network to download from is also very important - some programs are much better at it than others.

Lastly it should be ad and popup free and very accessible. The last thing you want is a program that has a terrible user interface that is impossible to operate. It should be very easy to use and have good cross-platform compatibility. - 16036
