May I recommend Poisoned and XNap for Macs.

For direct connections and browsing Carracho is unbeatable. Although you have to negotiate access with the server admins, once you are in it is great because you just look around and go for what you like.

Hotline is similar and older than Carracho but nowhere near as nice and riddled with PC nasties.

For those of you who seem happy with LimeWire can you tell me what I am missing out on? I have used it for ages and it has never been a stellar performer for me. It is slow and difficult to get to complete downloads.

Report Card:

Appropriate Forum Accuracy - Improving
Cessation of Client Slagging - Could Try Harder

Try it again, or better still: use Acquisition, which makes the connections look nicer.

For a list of Changes, whch improved Gnutella during the last year, plese look at http://gnufu.net : Gnutella For Users

Emule

gnucleus

The best and latest content is to be found on usenet.
My provider has improved the newsserver lately and it's filesheaven now :D

Do not use outlook to browse newsgroups but use a decent newsreader like Agent.

The free basic version bundleds software, many people say its spyware (including me).

:confused:

You can use IRC for downloading files but its a chat client and not a filesharing client. And you should know that they asked money after the test period of 30 days...

Can you point me to a decent newsreader for MaOSX?

Sorry Arne,
I am not into Macs
Get yourself a cheap 2nd hand PC and join in for the goodies :D

Just wait for some MacProgrammer writing a NewsReader on a UnixBase as Interface Projectm and I'll need none of that.

And besides: I have a few, but they aren't up the the level I expect from a Mac. I hope I missed one.
