argh! stupid bittorrent!

I'm starting to see bittorrent as a very unreliable p2p system. It's been about a month i've been using it, and lets just say i'm not all that impressed.

For some reason, half the time that i use it and the download actually starts, when its finished the downloaded file is always a jumbled mess of 100+ files all of different file formats which no one has ever seen before, or the file is archived and i'm unable to extract it cause the moron seeder forgot to include a password, or the file is corrupt and unusable.

I must proclaim that bittorrent is a very unreliable p2p system.

What did you use to use? Kazza/Lite/K++? Limewire?

I use Kazaa Lite with Diet K plug-in and It works great for me.

i gave up kazaa a long, long time ago, seeing as how it's so spyware infested, and it lags up my comp exponentially.

I've been meaning to try out kazaa lite, but i have trouble finding a place to download it for free.

BitTorrent is a nice p2p service.. It's the weirdos using it you should be blaming..

Kazaa Lite works fine. I don't get any spyware anymore because Diet K Add-on blocks all ad-s and other stuff.

I use both Kazaa Lite and BitTorrent. Kazaa Lite is pretty decent for music files, but it's hard to find any movie thats over 1 gigabyte. That's what I use BitTorrent for .

But yeah, I downloaded the entire Kenshin series, and when I opened the folder, the files were in some shitty video format called .Ogg; half of them didn't work.
