PPLive
PPLive is one of the next generation P2P programs that allows many users to share live streams, not files. These streams can contain any sort of media from
the news to pornographic movies but one of the most common uses for this type of software is to enable you to watch live football matches and other sporting events on your
PC. What PPLive has above all the competition in the area of watching live football over the internet is it has a very large number of channels. If there is a game available, have no doubt that you will it on one of the
many sports channels available through PPLive.
When downloading PPLive it is best to remember that it may be hosted on a Chinese server. The download speeds you will see will be far slower than you would normally expect so you will have to be patient.
