    I use it from time to time, but I don't like it much. Too much of a resource hog and somewhat sluggish due to its Java components.



    I much prefere DC++ but it's not available for OSX. There are some clients written for the Direct Connect protocol, but they're either very unstable, or are abandoned as projects.

    My niece uses it download music sometimes but I've been reluctant to use it even though we dont have to worry about viruses or spyware.

    I guess I'll just let it go and forget about it.

    I use Limewire Pro - It does everything Im after in a P2P program.



    I find it's quite easy to get what you're after quickly and only falls down on some functions.

    Maybe Ill give it a shot, but first I have to buy an external CD burner. I was just going to buy a Mac Mini after they updated it, but now that Apple is switching to Intel chips I will just wait until the Mac is Intelified

    I use Limewire all the time. Use it for movies, programs , songs. I use shareware version. But I will someday get the pro version.

    there is no kazah for mac that is know of. But there is a program that search's

    kazah,bit torant gnuella, and a few other sites it is called XFactor. Limewire is still better because it more customisable.

    I wonder if people who purchase the PRO version of Limewire then think that downloading movies/music/programs without the copywright holders permission is legal.

    I hope not, downloading any media without direct permission from owner is illegal.

    There is a mac version of DC++ here .



    Is you want to access the Kazaa (Fastrack network), try Poisoned, my favourite.
