What is everyone using for File Sharing? I am starting to get sick of LimeWire and Acquistion. Carracho and all of the Hotline stuff is way to complicated to be of any real good. Is there any others on the Mac platform I should look at? Anyone making a WinMX client for Mac OS X?



Thanks

    I use overnet. It's early in development, but AFAIK there are no other networks with the same features.



    Serverless

    files identified by hash code

    ability to upload chunks to others regardless if you have the complete file.

    Excuse my ignorance, but what does AFAIK mean?



    Thanks

    afaik=as far as i know

    i hate limewire as well, it's frustratingly clunky. although i do enjoy switching to the middle tab and watch the searchs go by. some of them are just beastly! literally!

    use Direct Connect (http://dc.ketehot.de if your unix savvy, and http://www.neo-modus.com if you aint). i'm working on an osx client myself for it (to bring the poewr of dcgui to a cocoa interface). it was a little hard for me to understand the whole idea of dc at first, but once u get it, its wicked Kewl (notice the capital 'K').

    Well, I've noticed that lately every time I use Acquisition my airport base station locks up and I have to power cycle it. The airport admin software doesn't even see it.

    I use Direct Connect, Overnet (mldonkey), and Acquisition. In that order.



    DC is a waste unless you have access to some private servers.

    mldonkey is a waste if you know no *nix. (requires X11, and a gtk lib)

    Acquisition is fun for the whole family.
