2. Linux versions of gnutella
The windows versions (limewire and bearshare) might be OK, but I can't vouch for them

6. Seconded on Shareaza.
It's the best for anyone too lazy to learn Linux (like me).

7. I have Kazaa Lite, but I'm likin' WinMX more these day's
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 09:33 PM by JohnnyRingo
I think the lawsuit publicity has chased some away from Kazaa and driven them to alt P2P nets.

I find more files on WinMX now.
Great Interface, too.

10. xNap on Linux
I myself use xNap on Linux. I don't know if there's a Windows version, but I do think that one exists for OS X.

11. use ad-aware to get rid of the spyware
I think the URL is www.lavasoft.de or just get it from download.com

I mainly use DC and DC++ but you have to know some hubs and have permission to connect to them.

otherwise, the ones other people have mentioned work great but make sure you get rid of the spyware.
