What is the best P2P streaming software?

**admin** · #1 19-10-2006, 12:09 AM

Everyone has their own favourite program. Some work well for some but not for others.

Help out those new to P2P streaming and let us know your favourites.

I wish I could vote meaningfully but the majority of those programs don't work on my mac

Anyway...

My favourite programs are PPMate and SopCast, great quality streams lately, with no buffering.

TV ants works best for me!

At the moment it's PPMate closely followed by Sopcast. TV Ants works really well for some channels so that would come in 3rd.
TvKoo and TvNoo also work very well although both don't have as many sport channels as the others.

I find ppmate the best for me followed by Sopcast

I've just gone from 256 connection to 1500, bloody Australia is soooo far behind in internet speeds, and haven't had the chance to check out the streams with the new speed. I could only get decent streams through PPStream, nothing else would play

i always find myself watching tvants espn is english!!!...but i wouldnt necessarily say its the best picture and always freezes as some point even with the sp2 patch!

I`ve only been using two lately, PPMate and SopCast, both great quality streams with no buffering.

**drammy** · #11 27-10-2006, 04:15 AM

Sopcast best for me
Tvu was also great but seems to lack games now

Cheers had been using TVU Player... but that list is fantastic!!

TVants always seems to be buffering all the time. PPLive was excellent, but now the channel doesnt seem to have much football on it.

Just watched Blackburn lose to the pikeys on ppstream and it was an excellent picture. Shame the commentary was in an a language I couldn't understand.

For me PPMate has taken over as the best. It has virtually every channel i need and the quality is pretty good with absolutely no buffering at all.
I don't think there has been an English match in recent weeks that hasn't been on PP Mate.
Long may it continue.

**Barcelona101** · #15 03-11-2006, 10:58 PM

PPMate for me. Loads of sport channels, no buffering, loads quickly, english etc...

**5Bells** · #16 04-11-2006, 10:19 AM

Sopcast, PPMate & TvAnts are good for me, ESPN & StarSports are usually good for Man Utd and English commentary. Sopcast offers the best buffer free play.

**supasue** · #17 04-11-2006, 10:41 AM

TV Ants has always worked well for me followed by PPMate. Good to see StarSport is showing the Man U v Portsmouth match cos we'll have the English commentary!

**kuczer2** · #18 04-11-2006, 11:31 AM

PPMate is performing well at present!

TV Ants has always been a little up and down for me as is PPLive.

SopCast, PPStream and PCast (old version) are reliable also.

**D_jMc** · #19 04-11-2006, 11:52 AM

The perfect player for me would be the reliability of tvants and the sleakness and functionality.

Sopcast is good but the audio is always distorted for me.

TVants - "A most powerfull live TV is here!" LOL

PP Mate by a mile!
Then Sopcast and Podcast for me. They all run well virtually buffer free and no hassle apart from runtime error messages sometimes.
