It is hard to make a proper list of P2P file sharing programs, as
this will depend on the way you use them, but there are a few worth
mentioning in all cases. Some of these are on the list both due to their
legacy and their utility, as well as their design. Qwer432
Regretfully, some of the services like Napster and Kazaa ceased to be a
sole P2P sharing clients and became music and video subscription
services, still working on a P2P network model. Others, like LimeWire,
have been discontinued.
If you are using a VPN, you will have a secure connection to all of these platforms and will be able to use all of their services.
uTorrent
Very light and very fast, uTorrent (Technically μTorrent, pronounced
“Me-Torrent” r/iamverysmart) is one of the most popular services in the
world, with over 150 million users having it and more than a million
being online at any given time.
BitTorrent
BitTorrent is the creator of the torrent extension and one of the first
companies to start with making P2P file sharing systems. As they “fell
from grace” for a while, most think of them as a new contender, even
though they are, in fact, the biggest platform in the world, and the
oldest on this list.
BitComet
Although this software came out back in 2003, the development phase
lasted a long time with a stable release coming out only in 2019.
While they are developed in China, they do have quite a bit of security
protocols, and they are well adjusted to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese
alphabets.
eMule
Developed back in 2002 by Hendrik Breitkreuz, also known as Merkur
(Mercury), eMule is a structured client system that works on a GNU GPLv2
license.
While not as populated as other clients, eMule is much safer and has a lot more moderation.
Vuze
Also known as Azureus, this client was made back in 2003 and quickly
became of the most beloved platforms around due to its intuitive, and
for that time beautiful, design.
Azureus Vuze is the only torrent client that has an I2P system that
provides native anonymity to their users. It is disputable how much
security this provides, and you should still use a VPN service, but it does inspire some degree of confidence.
