I use emule at the moment (used to use edonkey - whih I found to be excellent) but I am gatting a little pi**** off with emule and how hard it is to find complete files.

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.

For all my music I use http://www.multiply.com - it's free to register and it's pretty good.

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:

Ah yes - you're right. I thought you meant the network, which is basically identical.
