Looking For An Mp3 or Video Downloading Program?

By Terry Hunter

There are a lot of file sharing programs that you can use out there, such as Kazaa, Limewire, Napster etc. These programs are very convenient for downloading music, video and more off the net. Many people believe they can be dangerous, but it's easy to keep viruses and spyware off your computer by having an anti-virus program. Out of all the programs out there, which is the best? Here's what to look for.

Ability to download all kinds of files, not just mp3s.

The networks that the best downloading programs use also support media other than just music files. These include files such as word and pdf documents, software programs and video files.

Huge user database

A bigger network and user database provides the network with more files. Some of the P2P programs share networks so that downloading is faster and there are more files on the network.

Fast download speeds

The number of users on the network is important because if there are more users with you file it can download to your computer much faster. The ability of the P2P program to find you users on the network to download from is also very important - some programs are much better at it than others.

Your P2P program should also be ad-free and be very easy to use. The last thing you want to have is a program on your computer that is impossible to use or is very spammy. - 15465
