Looked at Kazaa, but that has ads and spyware software.

Any other recommendations?

Have tried Shareza, but this isn't free

Thanks

A good start would be the search feature at the top, this question is asked at least once a week.

Oh and filesharing is so last year.

free copyrighted filesharing is illegal, suggest you google to your hearts content, but avoid moderators and forums...
from past experience, THIS isnt the place.

Shareaza should be free if you get it direct from them, in fact IIRC it is open source to proove it isn't spyware etc and it plugs in to a number of networks. Try http://www.shareaza.com/

WinMX used to be good but it slipped a lot as they went quiet for a long time, seems they launched an upgrade in July of this year, but reading what they have updated it doesn't offer much new for over 12 months of development.

There is also freenet - very slow but very secure

Could try Kazaa Lite, works the same as Kazaa but doesn't install any adware or pop-ups (which the makers of Kazaa didn't like too much!)

Think they've removed it at the request of Sharman Networks
