I have recently been looking for software that I can get some harder to find music. I was gonna try eMule, but I've been told its confusing & slow.

But I found DreaMule which apparently is a lot faster and does not have LowID problems. It also has many feature's including automatic server, so I don't have to get one myself. And that's good cause I don't how that works.

Its been givin some really good reviews
DreaMule - P2P to extreme
DreaMule - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com
DreaMule - Download

Looks like worth trying out. Seems to have its own network, therefore a little limited (website sez "5 million users worldwide"). But reviews say that whatever is there can be dl'd very fast.

I waited months for LW to dl a movie from 1967 and another from '41. I switched to Vuze and got both movies the same day. If you want obscure stuff torrent downloading is the way to go.

Never heard of it, but it has it's own network so it might be worth trying. Who knows it could be better than limewire sometime in the future...

I tried it, Fantastic results but the downloads wouldn't start downloading. Is it a Mule thing?

So I'm still using it, And I just wish it was faster. I might go back to Guntella.

You know DreaMule is a eD2k client,and to use them ,you have to have good time.....I use the real eDonkey2000 client on network,its working ok!
I belive the problem is the new servers and the RIAA/MPAA -they try to destroy the entire network,but the Donkey/Mule refuse to die...But that network makes Gnutella like peanuts in compare!Nearly all previouse Kazaa user ended up there...On a good day i have acess to nearly 30 million files,not bad!Small files goes usely in seconds,larger files take longer time-i love the eDonkey2000 BitTorrent support-working great!Shareaza is support eD2k network too,but i never get enny files at all!!!But for the good old Donkey is thumb up!But to use that network i will advise to use Peer Guardian with good block list,els you are the DOD on the network...The RIAA/MPAA goons try all the time to make me DOD for them with out i even know it,sorry i do know they trying all the time!

I only download Music so I'm good with Guntella, Mule had a great selection of files but I was getting a max of 25kb's, On Ares I get around 40kb's and on Mp3 Rocket I get 70kb's.

Thats cool,i usely download music,and my friends call me "TunaHolic"-wish is true.....On eDonkey2000 i get 2,5kb's-1000kb's,on Gnutella i have mostly 5kb's-1500kb's,and Ares give me from 2,5kb's-1200kb's.I have 10mb in line speed.The strange thing is i have better speed in kb's on both Ares and Gnutella,but eDonkey2000 is still faster for me mostly-atleast on small files....On LimeWire i have only maxs 250kb's-mostly 67kb's as averge!Iam a huge kiss fan,and thats mean i like to" keep it simple stupid",and for me is that eDonkey2000 and Ares mostly...Gnutella flodding over of spam
and stuff-so much,no fun enny moore PS: I did tried DreaMule to day,i wasent to happy...To much to config and tweeks to do!Its use eD2K and Kad network,similiar to eDonkey2000 its use eD2K and overnet!The fun part and the eDonkey feeling was'ent there at all....

I don't really get why you talk about the speed of downloading. As long as you find and can get the file in the end it's all good.

BTW try SoulSeek. Few things you can't find there. Of course it takes a bit more interaction between sharers, but well worth it I'm told. I never tried the public shares there. Only between friends.

It's music only.

Because I don't have the time to be waiting for a song to start for hours and then have speeds that my connection could do so much better.
