Using p2p softwares

Perhaps the best way to download almost everthing you want is using p2p softwares. P2P is short for peer-to-peer software. In this kind of technology the users act as servers. It effectively means downloading from a person's desktop.
For the help of people interested in p2p, I have listed down a few softwares.
The most commonly used p2p softwares are mirc, torrents and limewire.
Let me start with the simplest which is Limewire. This one has a very good interface and an effective search engine. The biggest disadvantage is that it brings in hordes of virus and trojan. The other disadvantage is that you can never know what you are downloading unless you have downloaded the whole thing to your hard disk. It may sometime happen that a bollywood blockbuster can turn out to be a C grade porn movie. Therefore I would not recommend users to use this option unless they are utterly flabbergasted with my other two options
The second option is using mtorrent. Its a tiny software which wont use any disk space. Torrent files can be downloaded from torrents.to. Just keep in mind that the file you download has more seeders than leechers. Seeders are those who are giving that file while leechers are those who are taking it. You may very well understand that if you use a torrent file with less seders than it will months to download. Save the torrent file (a very small file around 30-40 kb) into your hard disk. Now using mtorrent open the saved torrent file and start downloading. The only trick lies in selecting the correct torrent file. People who have limited broadband connection are not advised to use this as seeding will also take place when you download. Suppose you download a software of 10 mb, you will see that a data transfer of around 20mb has taken place.
The third option and perhaps the best and fastest way to p2p is using mirc. It negates all the disadvantages exhibited by the above two softwares. The only thing which does not work in favour of mirc is that it is a tad complex. People who can understand this can download anything with mirc. Let me explain you the working of this complex but dependable technique. Mirc has lots of channels which are like chat-rooms of any chatting software, say yahoo. People are logged on to these channels and display whatever they have on their computers. Depending on your choice you can go to a particular channel. The difficulty lies in finding the best channel out of hundreds of them available for your needs. After you log on to a channel, you may be asked to become a member of that channel to be able to download anything. The command or the process to become a member is given in that channel. You just need to wait for that command. For more information you can always search for mirc on the net and use it.
So happy downloading. Let me know if you face any issues.
