    Without mentioning anything illegal (I think) , I reckon the best share programs available are DC++ and eMule , with DC a fair bit above eMule.

    If you're lucky KaZaA can be useful, but I have to say, I find KaZaA pretty much useless for everything but the occasional single music file.

    What do you use?

    I usually use Kazaa.
    Sometimes I use DC++.

    But the BEST way to get Stuff is the newsgroups. It's local mirrored on the news server of your ISP, so the downloads are super-fast. The only problem is the selection, which varies wildly from chock-full of crap, to full of cool stuff.

    Both Shares and Source programs have the bad parts and good parts..

    I use DC++ alot, but due to the lack of slots , Klite does the job sometimes :)

    Everything?

    Many sources for entire OSTs Zipped into one file with album art included?

    Rated files with specific information as to the quality?

    I'm sorry but on KaZaA you don't know if you're really getting what you want until you download some of it.

    CuLT got a point there...

    Basiclly, if you want to download a movie i.e Jackass the Movie, You will end up with Fight Club :/. Alot of frauds are on the Kazaa.

    For music, Kazaa is fine 99% of the time.

    For movies, no.

    For anime, usually it's fine.

    For software, no.

    The Best programs aren't as easy to use as kazaa, but eMule is a happy medium between DC++ and KaZaA, can be got here eMule Project.net .

    For a server enter: 209.126.150.101:700 . This is the AnimeReactor Server, best for everything anime tbh.

    As for DC++ , its really for broadbanders, I suggest 56kers stick with eMule if possible.
    This is a link to the DC++ homepage: DC++ Home , and this is a link to the Hub help thread: Hub Help .

    If you have any specific problems I'll do what I can to help you, but I sugest reading the Readme first :) .

    Yeah... for people who don't have broadband, STAY OFF MY DC++.

    You just slow it down for the rest of us and take up slots for years.

    :p
