Audiogalaxy Satellite is a real-time, transaction-based file-sharing system for MP3 users. This program uses a Web-based interface to let you search for artists, tracks, and albums, and download the tracks onto your computer. The client program is small and simple, designed to use a minimum of CPU and memory resources. Satellite automatically selects the closest user with the file you want, reducing external bandwidth usage. Files currently offline can also be selected for download, and once somebody who has the file comes online, your transfer will begin. If your download is interrupted, the Satellite Auto-Resume function will find an alternate user with the same file and complete the download.

The last update fixed the bug (found mostly on Win95/98 FAT partitions) where Audiogalaxy could not write a file to disk properly. In the latest version the user account signup process has been greatly streamlined and the program has some Windows XP fixes making it more XP friendly.
