BearShare eMule LimeWire KaZaa Zwinky Ringtones AVG
In an effort to attract more users, LimeWire's new beta client, Version 2.1.1, applies the super node concept to Gnutella's more traditional peer-to-peer architecture, creating what the company calls ultrapeers. Over the next several weeks, BearShare will likely add such technology to its service as well.
If the addition of ultrapeers can indeed lead to greater usage of these services, LimeWire and BearShare might soon be as attractive as WinMX and the FastTrack services. BearShare lets you perform multiple searches at once, and none of your searches will stop until you tell them to. LimeWire's search engine isn't quite as clever, but the application does offer a built-in MP3 player. Both programs provide swarm downloading and automatically resume interrupted downloads.
