    You wont be able to max your bb speeds out with most p2p proggies because as Cremo says most people leech and shut down their client when done, plus people in other countries with faster bb usually get most the bandwidth (Unfair i know but eh)

    If you're not sharing anything then your speeds will be poor, or non existent. If you haven't set up NAT correctly on your router then the same will be true. If your ISP blocks P2P protocol then you're also screwed. eMule is only nonsense if you're not running it correctly.

    Downloading songs on eMule may be illegal, unless the song is public domain.

    Have same problem - Are Eircom blocking I wonder?
    In transfers - files are being listed with 0 sources - eventhough there were up to 200 sources on the search result

    This is true, as such I don't want to see anyone mentioning specific files in this thread, P2P stuff is fine but keep it legal lads.
