I have reinstalled Windows XP, and I am eager to get some music and videos (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Preview) on my computer. Which program should I use? I''ve been looking on Download.com for a while, and I can''t find any that are very functional. KaZaA is spyware, and it''s not that great; Morpheus doesn''t work; WinMX is great for having the utmost control in filtering and downloading, but it''s often slow; Blubster seems a little bit beta-ish. What program do you guys use? Which do you recommend I use? I want to be able to download all kinds of files, not just MP3''s (I don''t think this really matters anymore because most programs have many file formats that you can download). Thanks! ------------------- The saddest part about Microsoft bashing is that it''s all true.

A little hint, kazaa lite is kazaa without spyware. I won''t say where although my friend has a nice website www.hiveworld.co.uk

What''s so hard about that? Jeese, you''re treating it like a warez link.

Kazaa(Lite) is great most of the time but can get *really* frustrating to find pre-release singles and top 40 stuff based on there being hundreds of matches and a lot of shitty looped stuff.
