read the "spyware" poll first? i know bearshare and swapnut have taken a beating on this issue, and i don't want to start another "anti-spyware" thread here. unless that is the defining issue in this poll?
I have no problems with bearshare. it is the only client i have gotten to run smoothly on my system (sans spyware) for hours and even days at a time. I am still tweakin gnotella and i can't get an answer for my problems with swapnut. (I'm almost afraid to post it here for the negative feedback down there - but i will, because initially i like it - OK, that split screen on the search/download annoys me, but maybe it would not if I had a 21" monitor )
