I use kazaa/morpheus, morpheus has that annoying pop-up advert though. So I use kazaa and remove all the spyware.

Stuff like Direct Connect rox when you have a cable modem or T1 at home, but when you have ADSL you do _not_ want people to start downloading a few GBs from your PC. A lot of DC servers require you to share at least a few GBs if you want to use them. Then Morpheus wins easily, as you can just share some smaller files or none at all (leeching ots).

eDonkey is a great file sharing program. I like its concept, because it is fair. As long as someone is downloading the file from you, you cannot move the file away or delete it, because eDonkey has a handle on the file; unless you shutdown the program, that is, and risk losing your queue number for other files that you are still downloading ;)

One of the great things about Morpheus over Direct Connect is that it takes parts from different users who have the same file and streams it to you, assembling the whole in the end. Thus you get to download the file faster and more reliably than Direct Connect. Besides, getting into a good hub and finding a person with slots open is a pain.

Yep, kinda like those download managers such as download accelerator plus or gozilla. Good feature, I say!

[sarcasm] Wow guys, you download stuff from morpheus? You should be like me, and have everything on your computer legally. Even if you are just backing up your stuff, that's immoral. I'm whining because I'm too stupid to use a program like Morpheus and feel inferior to all of you.... whine, whine, whine [/sarcasm]

there, that should sum up the next few responses you are going to see when those 'i must be pure of heart' hippies find this thread
