A peer to peer file sharing utility that works over the Gnutella framework. It is a clone of the older LimeWire programs.

Features: Similar in looks to LimeWire Fastest P2P is also a peer to peer file sharing utility that runs on the Gnutella framework. It can be used to search for and then download many different kinds of files: including video, music, games, pictures, documents and more. In addition to basic searching and file downloading / uploading functions it adds a number of interesting features to improve the performance of the file sharing. Multiple parallel file searches are also supported. Firewall to firewall transfers are supported and so it can somewhat alleviate the frustrations that have been experienced by many users trying to download files across firewalls. The interface is similar to LimeWire’s so users who are used to that one can easily make the switch. It is available in many different languages, and also for several platforms.

Overall: The publishers of the software make lofty claims about this being the fastest peer to peer utility over the Gnutella framework. This is not necessarily backed up by the software’s actual performance. That is not to say that the software performs badly. It actually performs quite well, but this is not noticeably better than say the latest version of LimeWire. All things the same, the drawback for this variant then is the fact that it adheres to an older interface style. The LimeWire (and similar) projects seem to have migrated to a slightly more user friendly interface style (or in many cases have made their individual interface truly unique). Fastest P2P looks like an older edition of the peer to peer solutions and although it performs almost the same, there is always the nagging feeling that one might want to change to a better looking interface. But this may not be a problem for many users who are already used to the interface design and then this can be a choice among the many others, neither much better nor much worse.
