also: has anyone come up with a collective name for our kind,(limewire users ?). i keep saying limers, but can anyone think of a better one?
will have a poll if the responce is good  |
There's no reason you'd want to qualify as an ultrapeer, if there's reason to become an ultrapeer you will automatically become one. The only way you will notice, at least, the only way I noticed was that I began uploading. I think I'm an ultrapeer because I'm online regularly, have a non-switching(don't know how to say better, Im dutch
) ip address and have some files on my computer and a reasonable upload speed.
About ripping cds to your hard drive: I'm guessing you use windows. For windows there's an advanced ripper:
Audiograbber, CD-ripper for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP
You should rip the music and what you must do after the ripping is encode the music into mp3 or another audiocompression format. Only I suggest to all other limers to, including you and myself. Please don't encode your audio in mp3 anymore. Why?
Mp3 format is very lossy and we have a better and free alternative:
FLAC. FLAC is a lossless format, so I'd recommend it to anyone, because I'd like to see some quality music on the gnutella network.
Hope you will follo my tips,
Alain
