A while ago they made me download the "Preview Edition," and it really sucks a lot. Constant pop-up ads and no place to specify searching for audio/video/etc. What's the deal?

I agree, I don't like the new Morpheus. My main gripes are the ads and seemingly never being able to connect to anybody. I think out of 20 downloads attempted, I've got one. Screw Morpheus, I'm using something else.

yeah morpheus sucks now that it's off the p2p network. Solution: get kazaa and crack the spyware.

 

[dhwilkin]

Crack the spyware? You mean use something like Ad-Aware to get rid of it, or somehow stop it through preferences?

are they not the same anymore? seems I've dropped the ball here. what about edonkey, how's that lately?

hmm, a quick search on ars turned up this: http://www.kazaalite.tk//.

Guess I'l lhave to try it when I get home tonight.

Morpheus IMO has always sucked, crappy ass results, mostly all pos 128kbps ones. But for some reason, my little brother just loves the layout and media center, and is too ignorant to try the wonderful playlist manager known as shuffleplay.

I've since then switched my encoding to mpc (lpac for home use), but direct connect would not work for me, so I can't find any mpcs to download. I do share my mpcs with gnucleus though.

Spyware is like hidden cookies, they peek on your internet activity, and send information back to their servers. Lame ****. Use lava soft ad-aware to get rid of these nasties. Note, kazaa will not work if you remove its spyware with ad-aware, oh and kazaa sucks even more monkey balls than morpheus,

.

 

[dngl]

cough run ad-aware and then get a cracked dll cough

Kazaa rocks. I have found some amazingly rare things on there (mp3s and programs).

 

[eric343]

KAZAA LITE! RULES! Thanks for telling me about that...

Don't worry about cracked dlls, just grab kazaa lite!

 

[dhwilkin]

Is KazaaLite totally free of spyware and ads? Please say yes.

 

[eric343]

Yes!

For Mp3's i would recommend bearshare hands down, you can find 320k Mp3's regularly. Kazaa has the best video clips, like for music videos and the such. I have become addicted to DC++ though:

Enjoy!

There is no reason to use the new morpheus. Download gnucleus in order to get the exact same program, without the ads.

The thing that makes me mad is the gnutella network used to be great, but now all the people from morpheus who don't share or share one freaking mp3 are clogging up the network, making it slow and unreliable.

I would reccoment Limewire or bearshare, but they both have ads. If you can find limewire 1.7d then download it! No ads, good features, my favorite way of finding things. I stay away from bearshare because the guy who made it is a total person, IMO anyway.

Dude, fill us in, what did he do?

YES! Thanks, I'm going to use KazaaLite, then. Since all I want to do is sample, 128 kbps mp3s are good enough for my purposes.

I love DC, it fulfills almost all of my anime-sampling needs. Question: Does DC++ get rid of the annoying memory leak in DC? My computer gets noticeably slower after running DC for a day or two.

Not that I ever used bearshare before, but now I'm curious, too...
