Just got broadband (woohoo) and was wondering which file sharing programme yall would recommend for downloading films and stuff like that.

I've got Winmx and that stinks, everything seems to have queues of about 100 people.

So which one is best?

Thanks for ya help.

WinMX is - do NOT get it.

KaZaA or KaZaA lite are the best. Morpheus (If you can still get it) is ok but there are lots of viruses on it.

Kazaa Lite.

Use Kazaa and it will spy on you. And when it finally gets busted, they won't see what you've been downloading... :^)

I use both and I think WinMX is faster when downloading but overall I seem to get more from Kazaa. WinMX does have better search results though. purely a matter of personal choice. Not much help but still.

Winmx definately isn't as good as Kazaa/Lite, but it can be useful for looking for something rare.

Lite's an option...

Closing kazaa pop-ups has become a rather standard thing that I've been doing now.

I'vew now perfect the art of clicking the window, closing it and returning to my normal work in one swift movement.

Kazaa Lite. Otherwise you'll have sodding annoying pop-ups CONSTANTLY ruining your life and making you suicidal.

Trust me, it's caused more deaths than all wars ever.

Most of it is deleted now :0)

Kazaa.

It's the one which most people use so the downloads are faster and are more available.

Simple to use too.
