Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Software

Though not an exhaustive list, these are some examples of peer-to-peer file sharing software that can potentially put you in violation of college policy and U.S. copyright law:

Acquisition Freewire Mactella SoulSeek
Aimster Gnotella Madster SwapNut
Ares Gnucleus Morpheus TrustyFiles
Ares Lite Grokster NeoNapster Warez P2P
Audiogalaxy GTK-Gnutella OneMX WinMX
BearShare iMesh Overnet XoLoX
BitTorrent Kazaa Lite Phex  
Blubster Kazaa Media Desktop Piolet  
Direct Connect LimeWire Qtella  
eDonkey2000 LordofSearch Shareaza  


The University of Chicago maintains a list some of the most common peer-to-peer programs and link to instructions on how to disable file sharing on each one at http://security.uchicago.edu/guidelines/peer-to-peer

Even with file sharing disabled, illegally downloading copyrighted material puts you in violation of U.S. copyright law and college policy.
