Comments
Ive used Direct Connect on PCs countless amounts of times and I find it MUCH better than Kazaa, Limewire etc. So please wait for Direct Connect to release.
great program. make sure you aren't doing illegal stuff. i just use limewire for pornography. (hey, i'm honest)
<strong>uh, limewire anyone?

LIMEWIRE SUX ASS!!! Direct Connect is better and the Mac OS X version is gonna be awesome!

Limewire's way too slow.
We have Neo, Acquisition, giFT, DC, and XNap. And no one should ever mention Limewire, ever. Also Soulseek will be here RSN?.
Want to know all about giFT and DC? It's called sourceforge.net
<a href="http://giftbox.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">giFT in a 10.2 friendly .app wrapper</a>
Check <a href="http://arstechnica.infopop.net/OpenTopic/page?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=8300945231&m=9230972935" target="_blank">this thread</a> on Ars for getting DC up under OS X.2
<a href="http://xnap.sourceforge.net/download.php" target="_blank">XNap, with a 10.2 installer.</a>
We don't have Kazaa, we don't have Morpheus. We don't have spyware.
Using XNap I'm currently connected to 12 Servers, 24,403 Users, 11,328,791 Files, 401.9 TB. That's right, Terrabytes. It's a java app, but performs excellently.

LimeWire/Aquisition. Works for me.
Screw that. Kazaa is pretty good, don't diss it. However Neo is pathetic. This is Kazaa's greedy fault however, they did good with what they had.
I want Soulseek for Macintosh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why? U. RI doesn't block it
gIFT is probably just as easy, but I haven't tried it yet myself.
<strong>Kazaa is great. Actually, Kazaa Lite (spyware free) is great. I don't care if they bring over Kazaa to the Mac because it will only be a matter of weeks before Kazaa Lite will be here too.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Not only is Kazaa great, but almost every PC user I know uses it. The more people that use it the more files there are. Acquisition is good (much, much better than Limewire) but not as good as Kazaa.

-_- wrong type of file sharing.....

Besides the spyware, which won't port easily and which will therefor remove the business case for a lot of Kazaa's partners if they go to OS X (and which I really don't think the Mac needs anyway - isn't it a good thing that the Mac is secure and private?) I had a chance to use Kazaa on a PC last week, and I really don't know about "great." If they do port it to OS X, I sure hope they rework the interface. It's not horrible for a single-threaded, swiss-army-knife UI, but still. Bleah.
Then, of course, there is the issue of piracy. But I'm assuming that the people asking for Kazaa care as little about that as they do about whether random people are taking unknown amounts of personal data and selling it to obscure companies for a profit while they download away.

Which is why Direct Connect is the best among them all... It doesnt reveal your personal information unless your share your home directory... heh... its the best among them all.. Trust me.. Ive used the others and I didnt like them as much as I like DC.... Just a thought... you dont have to agree with me.
