Top 10 Most Popular P2P File Sharing Programs in 2009 (at your request)
The p2p landscape has become so wide and choices so various that the search for the most efficient file sharing programs is itself very ‘popular’ – thus we thought to make it easier for you to be updated with the latest state of affairs when it comes to what most p2p file sharing users prefer as a downloading software. Below we offer you guys a list of the 10 Best P2P File Sharing Applications out there (it includes both independent file sharing programs and BitTorrent clients).
| 1.uTorrent
|
Currently, the most popular p2p client around. |
| 2.BitComet | Very good program preferred by many users. |
| 3.Limewire | Once king of p2p file sharing, still in great demand today (some charts still point it as No. 1). |
| 4.Azureus | A Java based client that ruled the p2p game some time ago. |
| 5.BitLord | A 'veteran' like most of the applications listed here – neat BitTorrent client still enjoying great popularity. |
| 6.Ares | Ares network not as great as others but compensates through other features. |
| 7.The Original BitTorrent Client
|
(developed by Bram Cohen himself; no sophisticated GUI here, but allows quick downloads. Recommended for programmer types and Macintosh users) |
| 8.DC ++ | A very strong file sharing program using Direct Connect Network – incorporates lots of features. |
| 9.ABC | |
| 10.Shareaza/Sharetastic | It was one of early p2p applications when p2p was still new concept. It connected to wide variety of networks like Gnutella, Gnutella2, EDonkey Network, BitTorrent, FTP and HTTP network protocols but these days it’s being controlled by the record labels (along with other former big p2p names – Lphant, BearShare, and iMesh which therefore lost greatly in popularity). However, we have still included it in our list due to this other program which borrows its main functions and then adds some – Sharetastic. |
