Thanks for the replies =)

VB6 sp5 runtime is 1mb, that isn't so bad and will be what I use most likely. Unfortunately I know very little C++ and wont be able to make too many custom controls for myself, but the ones vb already has and possibly a few already established ones would do.

As I side note, I liked Gnotella a lot back in its early beta days right when napster had its downfall [compared to limewire and bearshare] =)

Hopefully I can get it to all work out!
