I used to swear by WinMX but ive been recently converted to eMule thanks to christian!! Bit hard to get used to after the simplicity of WinMX but its worth it in the end!!

Nah, sometimes when people are behind a firewall, it will not allow you to download of another person behind a firewall

If it came to P2P I would say Limewire but it is worth paying the 12 quid or whatever it is! Other than that I use Newsgroups

Win MX was issued a cease and desist order. All the file sharing programs are being issued over the next few months.

Try usenet/news, or maybe BitTorrent (for as long as that'll last)...

It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it!

It is a case of searching on the site for something! Then you can open the file it will provide! this in turn will open up your newsreader and begin the downloading

Look here for a small guide
