User opinion is clearly divided on Warez. In tests, we didn’t notice any significant difference in either download or search times between Warez and these applications although much depends on your own personal configuration and broadband network. It claims particular speed advantages over Kazaa and Gnutella networks. Warez claims that its major advantage is an “advanced queuing system” and “multi-sourced swarmed downloads”.
