What To Look For In a Modern P2P Download Program

By Terry Hunter

Many file sharing software programs exist. You might have one of them or have heard of one of them - Ares, Kazaa etc... They are very convenient downloading programs that can allow you to download all kinds of content with an Internet connection. They are fairly safe if you have a virus scanning program and a spyware scanning program (which you should). There are a lot of these software titles, but which is best? These are things you should get in a good P2P program.

Can download more than just music files.

The best downloading programs that you can get also get you files such as video files, software programs and documents - more than just music files.

Huge user database

As the network of users grows, so does its number of files. Many of the programs tend to share each other's networks so that they get bigger and downloading files becomes faster.

Fast download speeds

Network size plays a part because the more people there are to download from, the faster you can download, but it also depends on how the program finds users to download from for you. Your download program should be able to keep the number of people you are downloading form high so you get the best download speed at all times.

The program that you use should be ad-free and have no popups as well. Even if has a decent network you don't want it to be hard to operate. It should be very easy to use and have good cross-platform compatibility. - 15275
