Does /jp/ use any Japanese P2P programs?
I know there's Share, Winny, Perfect Dark but is it worth using them, is one network better than the others?

PD is the newest and probably the most secure, Winny and Share still seem pretty popular but they're much older so who knows about privacy. At this point though why not just use torrents though, since most shit usually ends up there after being downloaded from P2P.

>> No.7833964

>>7833933
Yeah I thought perfect dark was the newest but it has some crazy requirements like 40GB disk space.
I don't think the others have needs like that but from what I've read people have stopped using them in favor of PD.

thats 40GB of non-useful cache. when you're downloading GB as it is it is significant compared to share/winny's lower usage

>> No.7833993

all three are said to have had their encryption cracked by government agencies
they still haven't cracked down on people widespread, strangely enough

i doubt anywhere outside japan is interested in cracking down on japanese p2p. they're all too interested in bittorrent and shit like limewire

Im pretty sure Japan has mostly moved away from WInny to Share if not Prefectdark. Though theres no harm setting them all up and just trying to search for stuff and see whats better.

That's something that pisses me off with most Japanese software/freeware. But those networks rely on security through obscurity, so I can understand not wanting to release the source.

I use Perfect Dark, I've gotten a few things from there, comiket releases and porn.

I use PD to get stuff like NHK documentaries, Japanese novels and manga, and raws of obscure anime I can't find torrents of.

Thanks, that'd be very kind of you. あやかしびと－幻妖異聞録－ (the PS2 port of Ayakashibito) from a company called Dimple is what I and some others haven't had the chance of finding a working upload of, and no one I know uses PD. Was wondering if a proper upload might be uploaded on PD.

Why can't Japan just use usenet like civilised countries.

Usenet is the only thing that can max my bandwith, 8-10 megabytes/s

You're paying for access to more than three years worth of files/releases that you can download at whatever your maximum speed is with zero chance of being busted.

Shit's great.

>> No.7835790

>>7835782
Where I live I have zero chance of being busted anyway, since everybody downloads and police don't give a shit you do.

The rest meh. There has never been a time I couldn't find what I was looking for, and I don't care about downloading at top speed.

They used to, but stopped doing so a few years ago, because it was constantly down and the speed was terrible, and files cycled too quickly or whatever from what I heard (never used it myself).

Newsleecher checks for passwords/rars in rars automatically and warns you IIRC (I haven't paid for access since earlier in the year). Not sure if other newsreaders do the same. I can't use anything but NL personally.
