That's one of the joys of Audiogalaxy. You queue the songs the want on the website and no one has any idea who's downloading what from who. The "satellite" program automatically downloads from the fastest connection available and there are no "hotlists", so no leeches can target your hard drive because you have a fast connection or a lot of files.

Lowly 56k modem users like me don't have to feel guilty about the time it takes us to download files, either. There's none of that sense you had with Napster that the user you were downloading from was getting pi**ed off with you. It's all blissfully anonymous and any broken downloads are automatically resumed. There's no chat program, which is sometimes a shame, but on the other hand, you don't get leeches screeaming obscenities at you because their download failed through no fault of your own.
