Finally, someone who is going the wrong way :))

Mostly people first use easy stuff like LimeWire and then hear about Torrents but you've gone in the reverse way :))

limewire is fast and usually the dl speed is over 60 kbps.. but the movie quality is usually bad and also many are just fake !!

i found torrents better ... everything id fine about them !!

I find ARES the best P2P software. But even in that, fake files are rampant and quality issues arises.

IMO, the best way is usenet or some private community.

My hierarchy of P2P tools/softies:
Private community > Usenet > IRC > Torrents > ARES > the rest

Don't ever bother abt "the rest".

limewire gr8 for individual songs which is a boon for dial-up users coz torrents usually have the entire album for rest torrents are good.

for me RS=sw
LW=music
torr=rest

Use limewire and not kazaa, its safer also i think limewire is good for downloading songs.

there is a hacked malware-free version of kazaa available during my windows using days.
