With all the trouble I had deleting Kazaa http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=7881 , I was wonder what everyone else uses as their P2P software?

Depends on what you're trying to download. I would really like one that doesn't have all the crap attached to it like Kazaa did, but it's hard to find Kazaa-lite anymore. WinMX is good for music...Apparently not watched by the RIAA....I use MIRC for movies....and looking for something else to replace Kazaa....Could anyone give a review of limewire or whatever it is.

I am currently using diet kazaa. i guess it is sort of like kazaa lite. Since i am not sure what lite does, i can tell you that diet does a pretty good job tho. you can get it from http://www.dietk.comI am not sure if it deletes the spyware, or replaces it with a dummy, or keeps the spyware on teh computer and disables it every time you load it,....but it works pretty good. I am using version 2.5.2, and am not sure how the new version (2.6) will work, since it is a major kazaa upgrade.I tried bearshare too. its good in regards that it has a great layout and almost no spyware. but it is slower, and not as much quantity of files. so I went back to kazaa.
