Avoid kazaa like the plague unless you have full Anti-virus, Firewalls up the kazoo, and can fit at least two extra strength condoms to your modem. :)

WinMX suffers the same but perhaps not quite as bad but watch out for hoax and wrongly named files too.

Kazaa Lite is good if you can still find it, no spyware, ads etc.
I agree if getting software, mostly it is in zip files and some, only some that I have encountered, have viruses.
Saying that, I got MS Office XP and WinXP from there:p

i never have a problem, downloads are usally instant or a few people ahead of me which does not take long to clear

if a queue is longer i wait for a bit and it starts downloading if you search for better sources you can get your stuff quick on there

BitTorrent and IRC do me fine...

Main thing to watch on all these download programs is they are nearly always full of spyware stuff like gator etc.

This will inevitably cause slugish performance on the PC after a short while so you will need to run adaware or similar progs to clean the system even more than usual. :)

Limewires pretty good, and it doesnt seem to have any spyware.
