A certain recent event put a temporary damper on my downloading.
But when I get back in the swing, I'm sure I'll be right back to using emule. Slow as hell, but I love the verified hotlinks for albums and movies. Never a question of file quality, or whether it is a fake or not.
Recently I tried alt.binaries newgroups. Man oh man, are those fast. But just as fast as they download, the file listings change, so it seems you have to time it just right to get the file you are after.
