Just make sure to forward ports to yourself or if need be, place yourself outside of the router's firewall.

Yes about the router thing: I have an ADSL router, and yeah I get lowID issues and most of the time I can't connect at all.

The router's firewall isn't even turned on, however NAT is. I've tried looking for port forwarding on the router but I don't think it has that as such. I emailed tech support and they told me I had to set up some virtual servers or something, which would make some pinholes in the NAT firewall which would then connect directly to my computer.

Hasn't worked yet!

Well you will have to sort out the port forwarding or you have no way of connecting properly unfortunately! Time to hit the books! lol

What brand of router do you have? Look around under the advanced options you may find it!

i may be a newbe here but not to p2p

DC= is good if you can make friends with someone that has a file that you want if not youll be waiting about a week to get just one game or movie and the file share for some hubs is just crazy like 100gigs

Filetopia= ppl are just rude wont let you connect or will cut you off so dont even try it

Kazza lite= great for MP3's but when it comes to ps2,xbox games give it up there are none on there and movies are dieing down very fast on there so you will get alot of fakes or 15sec movies

Irc= about the same as the rest you can find alot of stuff but you can only d/l a file from one peep at a time and they go off all the time and there is just to much to fig out

Edonkey= sucks evertime i have tried to use it i cant connect no matter what i try

Shareazza= just now trying it and it sucks sure you can find alot of games but you cant ever connect to the users to d/l and if you do man you talking about slow

FTP= is great if you can find someone that has one

Winmx= lots of files but be ready to be inline for about a week b4 the d/l even starts bc eveone is Q'ed like a MF'er

overnet= just tryed it and its useless VERY VERY slow and cant connect to recive the files

we need a p2p that puts all the good stuff from each p2p together like have kazza's search,speed and d/l one file from more then one peep dc's games and irc's movies but untill then all of them really suck in there own way....

thuglove - I agree pretty much with what you said. DC++ seems interesting at first, but the only files I managed to get are a few songs, after waiting around 30 minutes just for one. I tried some movies and games but I guess I was way too optimistic.
For Emule, I always have a high ID, but just to get the dl to start, I have to wait a few hours, then it downloads at around 5ko (at its best) for a few minutes, then tries to connect again... I just haven't got the patience to wait a month for a movie. However my uploads always work fine!
For MP3 I guess the best is K++/Kazaa lite, even if you do have some corrupt files every now and then. A good alternative for music is soulseek, not as fast but still very reliable.
prez - stop your bullshitting, K++ isn't that bad, I get a lot of my mp3 with it, and they work fine, good quality and all. For the corrupt files, I just dl a different file!! And it goes easily at 50Ko... so what's your problem? Ok, for movies & big files it's crap, but that's not what I use it for.

thuglove - Have you tried BitTorrent? For movies, it's pretty much the best prog out there, you get fast dl, very good quality movies, and for the choice well all you have to do is to find some good web sites that have bittorrent links. Give it a try!!

Go here to download bt++ :
http://btplusplus.sourceforge.net

Then all you'll have to do is to find some web sites that have torrents to download. Here is a good one :
www.suprnova.org
You clic on the game/movie link that you want, and it should open the BitTorrent window automatically. Or else you can right clic and 'Save target' and put the link on your desktop, then double clic it.
That should do it!!
