All the filesharing applications above have closed their activities and it looks like Limewire will be the next. Then filesharing with this particular peer to peek technique will soon be over. IF Limewire closes as well - then DC++ will be the only network left which uses this technique, even if it differs a little from the others mentioned.
How does one use bittorrent???
Well - first of all yah needs a bittorrent client - of which there are several.
Here is one example:
http://www.bitcomet.com/
To find a song or a movie one needs to find a torrent first. A torrent is a lite file which helps the client to find "seeds" and "leechers" (a swarm) who're in possesion of this file. There are several search engines for this and the links below go to the most used:
http://www.torrentspy.com/
http://isohunt.com/
http://www.mininova.org/
http://thepiratebay.org/
Once you've dl the torrent (something.torrent)yah can open it in your client and you're all set, downloading AND uploading starts.
This technique makes downloading fast - and reduces bandwith problems - it's obvious that if let's say 100 users dl a song from ONE and the same person - there is gonna be bandwith problems. Therefor bittorent is a great technique to download huge files (talking about GIGAbytes rather then megabytes) fast
With bittorrent it's not easy to find older songs or movies since a torrent gets obsolete very fast (noone seeds it anymore) so yah might find only newer material.
