Ok well i use Limewire and i was wondering, what do you guys think is the best? I am not interested in Kazaa because it slowed down my other computer drastically. Id like a very wide span of videos and music with decent downloading.
Games Played:DoAC, EQ, CoH, Lineage 2, Planetside, and Shadowbane.
Games Playing:None:(

Well the real answer is: There is not one good P2P program. The slowest but most efficient would be Bearshare or WinMX. The fasted but one with the most spyware and viruses and imps would be Kazaa and the one with ok download speeds, little spyware, but small selection would be morpheus. Limewire is slow and has a low selection.

If you like 22 kb/s downloads then yes, it does have a decent selection. Not too many games, though.

i use and have been using WinMX for the past 4 years and have never really had many problems...
its completely spyware, adware, virus and trojan free, and is very dependable in terms of getting what you want...
its not as popular as some of the big name ones like Kazaa, so its a little harder to find very rare songs and stuff... but so far i have been able to get everything i want...
it allows you to download songs, videos, pictures, and even programs, however you CAN get viruses and such from downloading programs (it gives you a warning before you download any programs) but that's just common knowledge... if you just stick to songs, pictures and videos you will stay free of any of that crap...
anyways, it's VERY simple to use (pretty much like old school Napster) and i highly recomend it... oh, it also uses the same chat thingy a few other P2P programs use so if you get bored you can just go talk in a chat room for a bit...
anyways, look it up www.winmx.com
it has the BigSealer peel... err BigPeeler seal of approval

just dont download "programs" through WinMX and you wont get viruses/spyware/adware/trojans...
like i said though, pretty much common knowledge... very hard to put those things in a song... very easy to put those things in a program...

Um no. Kazaa lite is the free Kazaa WITH all the spyware.
Use the usenet if you know how the net works. You can find anything from a movie made in 1935 to a recipe for people stew.

How about the following:
1) Get an old machine, like a P2 400Mhz
2) Max out the Ram
3) Load whatever OS system you perfer (I used WinXP just turned off all the eyecandy)
4) Install VNC so you can remote from your main machine to control this one
5) Install mIRC
6) Get into Fservering and FTPing
7) Limit your bandwith so the machine won't eat it all up
8) When your files are in, scan em, and place them in whatever computer you wish
