Thanks for the recommendations...

I haven't tried KaZaa, because of stuff like this:

I don't fear my browsing habits being "secretly sent to servers"... but I do run NT, and I don't need these silly little programs bringing my OS down... I've rebuilt it enough ; ).

Similarily, I haven't tried MusicCity Morpheus.... I can't ignore the hundreds of reports by users of this one ruining their systems. The music isn't worth the risk. On top of that, the authors propose no response to user complaints.

This is what I find a real shame... the most popular file sharing applications out there are either malicious or riddled with garbage.
