Well frankly neither.  Kazaa(lite) is all well and good for the odd
'popular' thing.  emule is best for the more obscure, but 'bittorrents' are
the newest and fastest by a long way.  I'm currently seeding the History of
Britain Ep.5 and have been doing so at about 150kb/s for the last 24 hours.
So far 6579mb worth of happy 'leechers' serviced.  This of course is just
the 5th of 15 episodes and the previous 4 all got about 15 gigs worth of
seeding.

I must pause to mention that it's not just this 'high brow' shit that gets
posted.  'Bittorrents' has a very broad church of material available - check
out a site called Supernova - no point in posting a link 'coz it jumps to
mirror sites almost every day.  However this place seems to keep track of
everything pretty well http://www.torrentlinks.com/

The hardest thing is too say to yourself "I really don't need to keep this
stuff on my hard disk any longer"  'coz you'll soon run out of space.  At
300 kb/s it's almost pointless to download heavily compressed .avi files
only to discover you don't have the relevant codec.  That latest episode of
'Enterprise' with great picture quality and sound in mpeg format at 450mbs
is just an hour's download!
