Question: (P2P File Sharing Programs)
Just recently I purchased a new Dell computer, with a CD/RW drive. Well, I'm going to need to download some files and I need some advice on what the best P2P program out there is. I had KaZaA on my old computer, and it was great; Lots of users and seemed like fast downloading rates. I'd rather not deal with all the spyware and adware BS that comes along with this program, although. Can someone tell me about WinMX and/or Bearshare? How do these programs stack up against KaZaA and Morpheus? Any information would be helpful...

Napster is reopening this holiday season.
Kazaa Lite (K+++) is the best. No spyware or banners. Its also supposed to cover your tracks.
Tip: Download songs, Burn songs, Delete songs.

Please don't start discussions on p2p software. We have a policy on not discussing furthering piracy:

Yes, I know, no one precisely mentioned piracy in this thread, but it's clear what p2p apps are for. Not recipe text files and purely free, indie music.
