I've been using the edonkey network for about 2 years now, so i know alot of things about it. During this time i've been able to track alot release groups to their favorite website to realease to, therefore finding the source of the filesharing river. To my experience it is something like this.
1. Dude inside major corp with access to media unreleased to the public.
2. The releasers, they encode, crack, and format the given media, then distribute them to thier fav site or forum of choice.
3. Program X* this seems to be the primary method of distruibiting the files amongst releasers on the edonkey network, it has extremely fast upload speeds, and chops the file up into extremely small chunks, that doesnt require the user to move in numerical order, rathre it downloads whatever is available. Given my experience i would say this program is roughly 7x faster than any emule, donkey, overnet, or hybrid program. I was able to literally download 5 gigs of files within a 12 hr period.
4. Edonkey network. MIRC. The files released here usually go out to the more hardcore computer people, which number less than 10 million wordwide users. Thus if you run into someone with alot of illegal software look no further than here.
5. Kazaa and other shit programs. Usually some filesharer wannabe, "releases" this stuff to the general internet population. And you can thank them for everything you find on these bigger, file sharing networks. However these networks dont have the garuantess that the edonkey network has, and they are generally full of viruses and improperly named files.
My personal preference is Program X. Rather than post its name and provide links, you'll have to PM me for the info to get this program, but dont expect a reply, its undergroudn for a reason so ill probably be keeping in that way.
Active, i mentioned that program to bert, so you can ask him about it. However it has a extremely high upload rate, you can expect you 60kbs downloads to have similar upload rates, so you'd really be chewing up your campuses reasourses. I've downloaded a modified version of ProgramX that has more features including upload limitation, however i found that when it tries to connect to a "tracking server" as they term it, it gets rejected more often than not.
