Simple and functional P2P client compatible with iTunes

Cabos is a stripped down lightweight peer-to-peer file sharing application based on Limewire, which uses the Gnutella network (currently the 3rd biggest).

Cabos' interface will be instantly recognizable to anyone who's used Limewire before - you have your networks, downloads and uploads easy accessible on the left sidebar, above which sits the search bar and your current searches. The retouched Cabos interfaced looks simple yet modern, certainly an improvement over the aging appearance of earlier versions.

The results window allows you to order them by file type, artist, album, bitrate and so on. This 0.8.2 Cabos release features a nice new filtering system, that as well as filtering file types allows you to filter by keyword within your results, and four slides to further filter by size, bitrate speed and number of sources. This makes trawling through the sometimes odd results found in P2P searches much easier.

The Gnutella network is big enough that most people will be able to find anything they want in it, and while it may not be the fastest way to download, it's fast enough. Limewire and the other big P2P programs are more advanced, but Cabos has the advantage of speed. Compared to most programs like this it loads much faster, and is less of a draw on your processor, so your other applications shouldn't grind to a halt. That it's totally free and features no adverts or requests to 'go pro' make it even more attractive.

Cabos is a highly recommendable lightweight P2P client.

Cabos Rocks!. I've used Limewire, Napster and a couple of other P2P sharing programs and nothing comes close to Cabos. It's small in size, there are no malware issues, it runs seamlessly with other programs and takes very little time to startup. Specifying the file type desired is also a great feature. I highly recommend Cabos and have been using it for at least two years now -- on both Mac OS9.2 and Windows XP.

Love It!. I have used Cabos for at least a year and the only problem I have had was that one or two songs didn't download all the way due to resources not available at that particular time. I just re-searched the song again and many more of the same song came up to choose from. Tons of songs and found every one I've searched for! I have had many searches and songs loading at one time. Once finished downloading, I just saved to my WM library or file on my PC to hear again later or upload to my MP3 player. I love it!
