Ok, so I'm now broadbanded up, and I've been using Kazaa, Imesh, WinMX, but each one seems to be good at some things and others better at other things, which is the definitive one to go for, and are there any security issues with them ?

Installed Overnet last night which is a straight p2p version of eDonkey2000 ( no connecting to servers reqd ).

Requires .Net framework download as pre-requisite.

Inital impressions are very good ( specially for movies )
