    www.winmx.com

    and

    www.kazaa.com

    These are the two I have used.
    If you use there free version you run a chance of being hit with a bunch of pop ups.

    You need a torrent client though, I'd reccomend azureus http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

    You wont find better quality downloads anywhere.

    That is why I gave the warning about the pop ups but that is true about kazaa being worse though.

    If you downloaded winmx when you open it up you have to wait for the green light in networks to start searching.

    I dont see why anyone would use anything other than torrents, it's the best plain and simple.

    True. I've used torrent sites even when I just wanted one song off an album. :spudniklu

    I couldn't agree more!!! Kazaa and even WinMx are garbage compared to torrent files...

    I agree 100% with your 1st post recommending TorrentSpy and Azureus but IMO KazaaLite is indispensible for finding rare or non mainstream stuff. You need to have both to really cover all your bases.

    when using torrents youre sharing parts of the file you have. sending it to all sorts of other people WHILE you download.. making it so someone could monitor who all was downloading by watching who was uploading etc..

    theres never a safe way to do it really. but i like mirc and ircspy.com.. youre pretty much only connected to one person.

    personally i just have private ftps i use that have all the music ill ever want. but if you want to take a risk (its a minimal one though) torrents are definitely the way to go.

    For those who dont want full albums.... use ARES... I havent got one pop-up, or corrupted song.... If you have a MAC, use Poisoned, because it searches through ares, plus a bunch of others...
