Kazaa lite, or i use torrents, which is really a program, more of just a direct download.

Soulseek for rare music

Bittorrent for movies/anime

I use mirc all the way. You can get the quickest downloads and has everything you could imagine. Just not exactly user friendly for all those noobies.

Same here, takes a bit of time to get your head around if your just starting out. It has the best download speeds out of everything else I've tried and you can get practically anything you want if you know which servers and channels to go to. ;)

There's a real easy way to find what servers to use. just go to packetnews.com and enter what your looking for. It will display your search results, just click on the file you want and will take you to the server and channel needed. just hit "control + v" when in the channel and will paste the xdcc send request. Hope that makes sense.

Kazaa installs too much memory intrusive crap on the computer... gotta hate the gator adware! I've been using WinMx, but it's not been friendly lately... I'll be looking at the other programs mentioned here, for sure!
