I’m considering getting Google Fiber for internet service, because it’s about to become available in my area.

Are the Google Fiber admins cool with filesharing protocols?

Or do they strangle traffic, ban people for filesharing, etc?

Limewire is gone, but ED2K is very much alive, and pretty darned good for finding older files.

Good to hear that ed2k is still alive! It’s been ages since I’ve been there. Any advice for the best ed2k experience in 2024?

As we’re talking p2p clients here, I have to mention soulseek. It changed my life! It’s especially excellent for lossless and rare music, but various other types of media can be found there too. There are soulseek clients for most OS’s, including slskd to be selfhosted and accessed through a webui as well as graphical desktop clients, where I believe Nicotine+ is a popular choice.

I still run official eMule on Windows 10, even though it hasn’t been updated in 13 years.

I understand that aMule, a fork of xMule, has relatively active development, and was last updated 2 years ago.

🐎〰️💨 I’ll be back!

Wait til he finds out that people still use IRC and Usenet for filesharing too…
