Vague study into filesharing speeds leaves a lot to be desired

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 11:44 PST -08:00   News  


The clever folks at consumer-reviews.us recently did a “study” of filesharing programs to figure out which one was fastest for free music downloads. The music download comparisons were performed with a number of top filesharing services, including one of our favorites, Limewire.

The fastest filesharing service is, apparently, MP3 Rocket. The MP3 Rocket filesharing program was released in 2005 and is said to have download speeds 20% faster than other filesharing programs. MP3 Rocket was tested against Limewire, Frostwire and Bearshare. Shame they missed out the major filesharing programs in their study.

MP3 Rocket went head-to-head with popular service Limewire on the same computer. The results were pretty much the same, but MP3 Rocket was a bit faster.

However, MP3 Rocket is still lagging behind services like Ares in terms of popularity and reliability. When choosing a filesharing program to download music with, there are a number of factors you should take into consideration. Yes, even press releases by companies claiming that their product is fastest should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Try programs like Ares out for yourself and then let us know which is best.
