I use WinMX for hard to find (almost obscure) stuff. I can't say it's the best. What's the better alternative?
Generally speaking, you won't find truly obscure stuff with P2P clients. A much better alternative is to find a "specialist" site you can download Torrent files from...

yeah-but your in the minority then...😛
And these sites shouldn't have to worry about being shut down or harrassed. Which means they'll probably still be where you'd expect them to be next time you need them.
Originally posted by Bowmanni'm not saying it's not popular, meerly that it's not as popular. people like getting something for nothing, and when it comes to music/software, most don't care if it's illegal or not.

Originally posted by Bowmannmy point was that most people use peer to peer sharing for illegal purposes. if you download a song off WinMX, then it is, generally, illegal. that is my point.
Nor do I.
If you have a point, please make it soon and put us all out of our misery.
my other point has a long shaft at the end of it. most people would call the shaft and the point combined a "spear". i call it betsy.
