     P2P Peer to Peer File Sharing

     The internet hasn't been the same since the creation of Napster, but alas all seemed dark once Napster had to shutdown, but it wasn't a dark day for long because there were many other programs just waiting to come out and take Napster's place and here are the ones I think worthy of a download.

Kazaa Lite
Rating: 
Cost:  Free

Review:  Kazaa contains spyware, but Kazaa Lite doesn't.  Yes some brilliant little computer nerd (sorry about that) came a long and removed all the junk that regular Kazaa has.  Gone is the spyware, gone is the unnecessary junk, and what's left is the best file sharing program around.  You can find everything on the Kazaa network without having the drawbacks of Kazaa.  This is a must download and you can get it here Kazaa Lite.  I like this program so much that I leave it running and hope that others will download it off Kazaa.

Direct Connect

Cost: Free

Review:  Don't get turned off by the Direct Connect layout, it takes a little getting used to, especially the first time you connect to a HUB, but once you do you'll find an amazing assortment of mp3 files, software, dvd's, and anything else you have the urge to download.  The only reason why this program received 3 1/2 stars instead of 4 stars is because it wasn't exactly the friendliest program to get to learn and a lot of newer computer users would be turned off by connecting to hubs and how the program is laid out, but stick with it and you'll soon be downloading all manner of files.  If you want to get a copy of this program you can get it here Direct Connect.

Kazaa
Rating:
Cost: Free

Review:  It's a very good P2P, but it has spyware!!  So use Kazaa Lite, I still rate it better then Morpheus though, because well, that also contains spyware but doesn't work :)  So, stick with Kazaa Lite, but if you absolutely have to, then download this Kazaa.

Morpheus 2.0
Rating:
Cost: Free

Review:  A once great P2P on a sad decline.  That's the general feeling you get when you use this new version of Morpheus.  Adware / Spyware, umm, something like that is added to your computer, the searches are less then spectacular, oh and umm, I do get disconnected a lot from it.  Generally not worth the download!  If you want you can get it here though Morpheus 2.0
