It all started with Napster back in 1999, this
whole MP3 file swapping on the Internet. Although Napster has
seen better days, the P2P community continues to soldier on
strong. The software and networks have matured over the years
and new technologies such as BitTorrent have been introduced
making file sharing easier and safer.

BitTorrent is a free speech tool. You have something
terrific to publish -- a large music or video file,
software, a game or anything else that many people would
like to have. The key to scaleable and robust distribution
is cooperation. BitTorrent is not just a concept, but
has an easy-to-use implementation capable of swarming
downloads across unreliable networks. BitTorrent has been
embraced by numerous publishers to distribute to millions of
users. With BitTorrent free speech no longer has a high
price.

BearShare uses the Gnutella network which
lets you search for MP3, MPEG, AVI, ASF, MOV, JPEG, GIF, and
all other file types. This is a very easy to use file
sharing application and is what I use all the time. Each new
version always feature some pretty good upgrades and
enhancements and since the early development days has
greatly improved. |

LimeWire uses the Gnutella Network which
lets users share and search for all types of computer files,
including movies, pictures, games, and text documents. Other
features include the ability to push uploads and downloads,
measure the speed of remote hosts and preview files while
downloading. There is also a chat feature if you enjoy
talking to people with similar tastes in music. |
