I've heard a lot of problems related to using a P2P program (most notably Kazaa). I tried Morpheus, too. It was fine at the start, but then several Trojan horse viruses appeared. Never using that one again. I recently decided to try Shareaza - open-source, no ads and no viruses/spyware/adware. Not sure about Ares or Limewire. How are those programs?

I haven't used Bearshare or Kazaa at all, but I do use Limewire and Ares. They work very well. Fast downloads, lots of sources, can't go wrong

BEARSHARE IS BAD BAD NEWS! I installed bearshare a while ago and it puts TONS AND TONS of spyware on your computer. Currently without a doubt the best software for peer to peer sharing it is advised to used Shareaza. Shareaza is brilliant as it has absolutely no spyware or pop up advertisments or anything and whats even better is that it connects you to various peer to peer networks! yes that's right, it connects you to e-donkey, bitTorrent, gnutella 1, gnutella 2. It's great, I've been using it for a while now and am really happy with the results. It also allows you to control the application remotely. Go check it out on www.shareaza.com, it's worth it.

I personally hate Bearshare and Kazaar. I'll only use Limewire, seeing as it's fast and reliable, especially when you're using dial up.

Kazaa just annoyed me. It ruined my old computer, so I guess I learnt the hard way.

Bearshare wasn't all that good, either. I got TONS of spyware from that thing. Plus I couldn't find anything I wanted.

I've been able to find everything I've ever wanted on Limewire and even on dial up, it doesn't take long for a song to finish downloading.

Most P2P programs are bad news, which is disappointing, really.

If you've never tried Limewire, I suggest you do. :[B][/B]D

I never have tried bearshare before, but I have used limewire and Kazaa. I think limewire is better than Kazaa because Kazaa has so many currupted files and adware (unless you have Kazaa Lite). My expierence with limewire is very positive so far. I would recommend Limewire to anyone.

If anyone wants to download limewire, heres some links:

Yea bear-share is crap. I use the program "Warez". It has no spyware, no maleware, and the speeds are pretty good. Also 1million + people on

I use Ares... I have heard that Ares and Warez is the same network, but I'm not sure though...

Of course Kazaa is the worst, viruses, spywares, adwares, alot of ads, yeah, I wouldn't recommend it!

I would also recommend Ares, its has a lot of users for music so you can download them very fast... the only downside is, its not very diverse and its hard to find some rare things but otherwise its an excellent p2p.

Another good p2p would have to limewire but limewire seems to be very slow compared to Ares...

But personally i never tried bearshare... the name just seems lame

But kazaa is definately @!#$ no one should every use it, it should be banned from the net and all related scripts and programming should be put in a box and chucked into the sea so it can rest there for all eternity...

sorry about that i got carried away... its just that kazaa wrecked my previous computer.
