Dial Up Question

[pureadrenaline]

What music files should i download with dial-up? Should i use T3, Cabel, modem, DSL, etc.?

The things you mention are not file types. They are the (alledged) speeds of the hosts sharing the files. It will probably make no difference to you who you download from in speed terms, as even of they are very fast, your download speed will still be relatively slow. My advise is to not go for T3 files for a variety of reasons. My last attempt was yesterday and the file was "corrupt". In this case I deleted it with further ado .... I digress....

The size of a file, which is governed by the bit rate, is more important for you and you must decide whether you want high quality ...192 bit rate or higher, or pretty good 128 bit rate which will download faster.

Let us know if this helps.

thanks, i just descovered that the T3 files are "corrupt". I tryed
3-4 different music files and none of them work.

Well T3 are not ALL corrupt, but I can honestly say in the 9 months or so I've been using Limewire I have only had a single case of a good download experience with T3!

A couple of tips here: 1. T3 Spammers; mp3 Bit-Rates Versus File Sizes requires some very careful comparison to realise which files might be corrupt. 2. Most Popular Songs R' Corrupt And yes not all T3 sources are bad. Just that some are giving T3 users a bad name for obtaining music from. This is a universal gnutella problem faced by everyone & applies to all clients.
