paulfr Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Did a search with no results to my surprise. I joined iTunes from Apple and to my astonishment, they will not download to Thailand. What sites are you using to get new mp3 files ?? I heard Kazza has lots of popups and viruses ..... true ? Any disadvantages or heads ups for newbies to know about downloading music ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 If it does not bother you to download for free,you could get Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3.Its got no spyware and runs very well.If you have ADSL 2/3 minutes to download a track,another is edonkey.Also DC++ is a file sharing program,one is run by members here.

peterzxr Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Kazaa Lite software is good for single tracks. If you wanna dowload albums / discographies however then I'd recommend using emule. The most important thing though is to NEVER pay for a download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joka Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 i like emule, even works on dial-up, might take a couple of days to get a couple of albums though. soulseek has good music, but terrible queues sometimes, (most the time). winmx is kinda sliding down, not as many people as before.

sniffdog Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 No matter what client you use or what connection you have. It's all slow, slow ,slow! Try the Expat Hub. But quite limited in the number of tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDN Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Speed is not a priority for me, so I am happy to run Bearshare. The free version comes with "Weather" and "Save Now" - or some such adware/spyware - but I just tell my Firewall software never to allow them to connect to the Internet. I've tried Emule, Edonkey and Kazaa, but prefer Bearshare. One day I'll get into this "Expat file sharing hub", but haven't found the time to do so yet.

cdnvic Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 If you know how to use an IRC client try one of the big IRC networks and trade in mp3 channels. Fast, no spyware, 10000s of tracks. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sniffdog Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Indeed, Mirc has many channels for mp3s. Be prepared to read a tuturial too. And Mirc is not free, it's shareware (after 30 days 20 bucks). You can try to get a freeware version too. But I think the standard is Mirc. Downloads were about 2-5k (on average better than those fileshare hubs like Kazaa).

Downloads were about 2-5k (on average better than those fileshare hubs like Kazaa). Apart from mIRC which is shareware, there are also free IRC clients. Have a look around at www.download.com or at www.tucows.com , two download sites. Once you have downloaded a standard IRC client and got the hang of the IRC network you will find it easy to use the DC network as well (which the Expat Hub is a part of). The trickier part with DC as opposed to IRC is that you need to set up your firewall/router according to the instructions in http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26928 . It may seem difficult at first because you are not used to it, but is really very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 mIRC is shareware but its only the nag variety, it still works after it expires without limits. I lost my reg # years ago and don't feel like paying again . If you get a version 5.x instead of 6.x there's no nags either. I get up to 70kbs d/l sometimes depending on the source. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaigreg Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Try "Shareza" whick you can get from "www.download.com. No virues or spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughden Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 There are a couple of Russian MP3 sites which are very good, and legal (under Russian law). Cheap to download with good search facilities; and the use international providers for payment so your credit card is safe. www.allofmp3.com www.mp3search.ru I have been using both for some time and very happy with the service. Allofmp3 even let's you choose the quality and file type and then converts for you to download. Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartender100 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Try "Shareza" whick you can get from "www.download.com. No virues or spyware. I you sure thats the spelling,nothing comes up with a search on "download" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffdog Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 The right spelling is Shareaza. You can find it at www........com (fill in the dots and colour the pictures). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeman Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 before, I used Kazaa but later i knew about LimeWare and it is really great in contrast to other programs as the speed is really great. Just try it once.... However, speed is dependent to Dial-up or DSL..., too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Merton Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 before, I used Kazaa but later i knew about LimeWare and it is really great in contrast to other programs as the speed is really great. Just try it once....However, speed is dependent to Dial-up or DSL..., too. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please do not use either of these programs. That is unless you are happy with your computer full of adware and spyware. Should you doubt me, try running an anti-adware program after their installation. You will be more than surprised at the results.
