Anybody else use these programs? got a mail from musiccity telling me of the new morphious. I havent used another since the first morphious went off line so i decieded it's time to get myself some new tunes and the like. I went to the download report and 67% say its crap so I decieded against it. I thought about kazza but have been told it's full of spyware!?!?!?
And morphious seems to be the same...
So I've decieded to try XoloX, however this seems real slow and just seems to search all the time when your downloading something. This has no spayware whatsoever but does seem abit crap to me.
What does everyone else use and what do you make of them?
Apriciate your input.

"Excellent program but BEWARE OF SPYWARE!"
I must say... this is one of the best P2P program available in the market. But nothing comes free in the real world, especially in the world wide web. KaZaA maybe the cream of the crop of file swapping programs but tons of downright dirty spywares sucked everything good out of this otherwise excellent program.

"Still a joke"
They have taken a perfectly good open source gnutella client (Gnucleus) and loaded it with pop-up ads, ugly banner ads, pop-under ads, skyscrapper ads...ads...ads...ads and more ads. It is dreadful, then they included this shopping spyware junk that you can not remove from your computer. What a mess--does not even work well. Just stick with Gnucleus or if you want fast and easy try the new XoloX.

I use kazaa for downloads and PestPatrol (about $20) to keep the spyware and other nasties at bay. Got broadband so I use ZoneAlarm firewall too. The amount of adware I get is bearable enough not to use anything special to defeat it.

been using kazaa lite for a few days now after aimster shutting down, then audiogalaxy shutting down.
Everything i've searched for has been there and download speeds have been absolutely fantastic. can't complain.
Only wish there was an option to choose the quality of music/videos downloaded. i.e 190kbps instead of 128..

http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ supply free ad-spyware-banner removing software which searches in your registry and hard disks for known spy-ware programs registry keys and give you the options to remove it.
I use it; it comes in handy just run it every month or when ever there is a problem.
