Mulve Returns as ThePirateApp and ‘Mulve Phoenix’

October 11, 2010 by sharky

Everything starts with an idea. While it’s clear that the original Mulve music downloading client isn’t coming back online anytime soon, that hasn’t stopped new developers from producing their own Mulve-based applications. Just a few days ago, Mulve’s own sourcecode was released to googlecode where it can still be found in subversion only - this got the ball rolling on what will probably be a long line of future Mulve clone successors. ThePirateApp and Mulve Phoenix are two new apps based similarly on Mulve’s code and principles.

Mulve - A Unique Leech-only App for Fast, Free Music Downloads

September 20, 2010 by sharky

Music fans finally have something new to rejoice over; and that’s Mulve - a tiny standalone app that’s changing the way how music is downloaded. OK, don’t expect Mulve to replace What.CD anytime soon, but this revolutionary app is the answer to everything that’s wrong with conventional ‘peer-to-peer’ networks. With a searchable database in excess of 10 million songs, quite likely you’ll never use Limewire/Frostwire again - and with good reason.

20 More Great Sites to Download Free Magazines, Books

September 10, 2009 by sharky

With the Internet being rife with piracy throughout nearly every form of media, most would assume that it should be fairly easy to find the latest issues of popular magazines - scanned, digitized and packed up for download. And it is - if you know where to look. Google can be your best friend here, but more often than not the search results will be unsatisfactory, if not downright misleading. We remove most of the guess-work here by continuing with Part II of 10 great sites in which to find free magazine scans.

PirateFTP Selling Leech Slots For Scene Releases

May 30, 2009 by sharky

Under normal circumstances we wouldn’t advocate for P2L (pay2leech) sites; everything you’ll ever need to download is freely available on torrent trackers. But if you have a little extra money to burn, or aren’t able to use the BitTorrent protocol - PirateFTP can be your alternative to getting the freshest 0sec scene releases. PirateFTP is a scene FTP dumpsite (think: "topsite") that sells unlimited access leech slots for about the same cost as a moderate seedbox. All without having to worry about seeding and ratio.

Active List of FTP Dump Sites For Warez And Music

March 31, 2009 by sharky

FTP, being one of the oldest methods of filesharing still in active duty, continues to be the preferred protocol for sceners, fillers and couriers providing & sharing the freshest 0day/0sec warez. With private BitTorrent, one must worry about maintaining a good sharing ratio. Usenet costs extra money for premium quality access and retention. eMule employs annoying wait times; even RapidShare downloads are queued & limited for free users. But none of this applies to FTP - it’s a leecher’s paradise.

But what is difficult for aspiring FTP users is to find available, working FTP sites to connect to. That is, until now. Here’s a list of FTP sites that are currently open (at the time of post), including an excellent 0day site, seen here:

Fixing Spotify Login Issues, Once And For All

December 26, 2008 by sharky

In an article published 4 weeks ago, we introduced how to Join Spotify from banned locations. If you kept up with logging in to your account at least every two weeks through UK web proxies (assuming you selected UK as your country of choice), you may still have received a notice upon logging in that says, "Your current location does not match that set in your profile. You may travel with Spotify, but only for 14 days". Worse yet, if you failed to login for more than 14 days the message becomes more dire, whereby you won’t even be able to gain access to the Spotify application, due to mismatched countries in your profile and home IP address. Here’s a few tips to get Spotify back in action.

Looking for an invite to Spotify? Here’s a site that has been known to post valid Spotify invite codes:

Join and Access Spotify.com in Unavailable Locations

November 28, 2008 by sharky

If you don’t already know about Spotify - it’s a sleek new music & radio streaming service on the ‘Net. With an iTunes-like interface and music that pumps out at a cool 160 bitrate, you’ll never again go back to Limewire to find untrustworthy music tracks. Spotify allows everyone to create their own playlists; search, browse & listen effortlessly - all without blowing your ratio at What.cd. It’s streaming; and it’s free!

Unfortunately, if you live in the U.S., Canada or Mexico, you’re on the blacklist for Spotify; as it’s not currently available in all locations - even if you opt for a premium account. But don’t let that stop you. First, you need to find an invite. Second, you need to sign up through a web proxy from a supported country.

EDIT: Dec 08/08 - It appears that UK proxies are now being blocked. I just tried a Polish Proxy, and it worked: http://secretproxy.pl, or try one from THIS LIST. Additionally, we’ve updated the accessibility in a future article here.

New Online BitTorrent/Multi-P2P Service at VIPeers.com

November 03, 2008 by sharky

zSlide, the creators of the online/email BitTorrent Podmailing service have outdone themselves once again, this time with a revolutionary all-in-one P2P solution called VIPeers: a new hosting service for Web & BitTorrent distribution. What sets this apart from 1-click hosters and other online BitTorrent services is that there so many more available options for users to share their files. Uploaded files can be shared in emails, as *.torrents, podmailing links (*.zed), DDL (direct download links), forum links, even as clickable links on your favorite social networking sites. Sharing files and torrents has never been so easy!

Sucubus - A New Music & Video Online Search Engine

September 18, 2008 by sharky

Recently-launched Sucubus is a new search utility for finding music and video files on the ‘Net. The application itself is installed on the host’s computer, but the interface (GUI) and searching is conducted through a browser. But what makes Sucubus unique is in the ability to save video files in a variety of formats, including AVI (XviD), iPod (MP4), PSP, iPhone, and DVD formats - not only does this make Sucubus great for searching, but also a versatile on-the-fly converter.

Firefox Add-ons You Need To Have

June 27, 2008 by sharky

If you’re still using Microsoft’s stodgy, slow, over-bloated browser Explorer, it’s time to make the switch to Mozilla’s Firefox. Last week’s release of Firefox v3.0 with over 15,000 improvements should be reason enough to ditch IE once and for all. Throw in the fact that Firefox is more secure, open-source, and just plain faster in page load times; the real benefits come from the add-ons (or extensions) that are available. Proactive plugin developers from all corners of the globe are chipping in to add functionality to Firefox.

Whether you’re a file sharing freak or just a casual surfer, there’s a Firefox add-on for you. Here’s what the real pros are using (and what they’re not!).

OpenNap for P2P File Sharing

OUR PICKS

OpenNap is a peer-to-peer (P2P) service server. It was created as an ‘open sourceNapster server, extending the Napster protocol to allow sharing of any media type (instead of just *.mp3 files), and adds the ability to link servers together. Today, OpenNap is still used the same way - all shared files are kept on each client’s machine but searching and indexing must pass through a central server (known as a centralized server) or group of servers. This is in direct contrast to Limewire and other second or third generation P2P services that are decentralized (and are much more difficult to shut down).

OUR PICKS

FileShareFreak is doing what no other website will do: We are actually testing various P2P programs under WinXP, and giving a personal review in our own words - not just some ‘cut/paste’ from the software publisher’s website. All programs were tested to be functional* in Nov./Dec. 2007, all are ‘Freeware’, and all are free of adware/spyware (unless otherwise noted). *Functional being that they connect to a network (with other users) and generate search results.

Also, we don’t include everything on this list. There’s only so many clones of Limewire and eMule we can handle! (Open source software often gets a minuscule makeover, bundled with third party adware, toolbar addons etc. and viola! a new product is born! - most of which we don’t include here). If you really want a complete list of available P2P software, visit www.download.com and search for “P2P program” or “MP3 finders” - you’ll be inundated with clones and the like. Know a good P2P program that’s not on the list? Try our Top Ten P2P page, or add one in the comments at the bottom.

Additionally, we wanted a list of P2P programs that contained variety. Most of these programs connect to their own network, or to multiple networks, thus diversifying the search results available in P2P. What point would it serve if we only included a bunch of programs that connected solely to the Gnutella network? - all of the search results would be the same.

NOTE: Keep checking back at this page, we add new P2P File Sharing programs regularly! Although these programs are adware/spyware free, most of these applications are not considered P2P safe (i.e. “anonymous” or “encrypted traffic” type programs), unless they are properly configured via the Proxy (SOCKS) settings internally.

BitTorrent clients are not listed here, since there are only about three BT clients that should be used anyways (see here). Moreover, the BTclient is not at all indicative of good search queries - this quality is ordained by the BitTorrent website hosting the .torrent files.

A List of File Sharing Networks

January 02, 2008 by sharky

A list of P2P Networks and Clients

A P2P Network is a network consisting of other connected users, implemented for file sharing and transfers. To access a P2P network, users simply download and install a suitable P2P client application. P2P clients require a network to connect to, in order to join all of the users to each other that are using the same client (or other network-compatible clients). A common example would be Limewire - when you run the Limewire program, it connects to the Gnutella network. It is through the Gnutella network that all Limewire users are connected and thus all available files and searching. It would be fair to say that the network is actually more important than the client program - remove the network and the client has nothing to connect to.

P2P Programs Designed for Anonymity

P2P file sharing is generating a lot of heat these days as countries introduce new copyright laws, stiffer sentencing for Internet pirates, and ISPs that restrict bandwidth for P2P file sharing programs. Fortunately for us, this new-age anti-P2P movement has inspired software developers everywhere to come up with their own counter-measures: Anonymous/pseudonymous P2P applications, encrypted traffic and safeguarded networks. Internet piracy is not exactly going to wither away and die, but it must evolve and adapt to strange days in order to continue to thrive. We’ve learned a great deal from Napster’s peccadilloes and KaZaA’s decoy-prone freestyle nature.

This is the future of P2P file sharing.

Filesharefreak is committed to providing information about these cutting-edge technologies and applications. Listed in this section are some newer (and some not-so-new) methods that incorporate anonymity into your Internet usage and file sharing. This is beneficial in two ways: First, you are out of the prying eyes of anybody snooping on your traffic (like the MPAA and RIAA); second, some client programs/networks support encrypted traffic/routing so that even your ISP can’t tell what you’re downloading (and throttle your bandwidth).

Categories of software include: F2F (Friend-to-Friend), P2P File Sharing, Instant Messaging, Chat, P2P Clients and Networks.

Usenet - Tips

November 18, 2007 by sharky

Websites for Usenet searching

There’s a few sites that offer search capabilities (some in ‘real time’) for finding content on Usenet. This can be a helpful service to find older posts, especially if you subscribe to a premium online news server like Giganews that will be able to retrieve them. These websites can also be used as a tool for discovering popular newsgroups that belong to your interests.

Usenet and Newsgroups

November 17, 2007 by sharky

Introduction to Usenet

Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. Check the full description of Usenet on Wikipedia.com. It is a virtual peer-to-peer network for exchanging text messages or binary files with people all over the world. Text message files contain just that: text. Binary files can contain images, multimedia, programs or basically anything, all of which is broken down into its simplest format (binary). Each subject collection of posted messages is known as a newsgroup, which number at over one hundred thousand. Users can “post” these messages to the newsgroups for others to read and download. Was this ever handy back in the day! To be able to share files with someone and you didn’t have to copy them to a 5.25″ floppy disk first.
