LimeWire: Running on the Gnutella Network. Just decided to make the move to Limewire. I’ve had enough of the Kazaa corrupted downloads. I scored a pro version of limewire from suprnova.org!!! Thank god for BitTorrent.
Limewire was the next best choice for a free, open-source p2p file sharing application. It isn’t bloated, has a large network (Gnutella) and contains no spyware! I highly recommend it.
Found a nice site called thebroken.org. Has a couple of videos on cracking/hacking consoles and windows boxes, interesting.
UPDATE 4/August/2007: TheBroken is now an IPTV show produced by Revision3. See http://revision3.com/thebroken
