I use LimeWire. I guess they all have their pros and cons.

Too much spyware on Limewire.

I seem to get on OK with EMule. Not the best, but does do the job.

The actual Limewire software is bundled with Spyware. I spent about three days cleaning up a PC at Source once, because some spoon had decided to install it.

Never used it, but Frostwire is apparently a fork of Limewire that doesn't contain spyware:
