that's a brilliant wee program with the best codecs in it, I use it all the time.

on a download level I use 3 programs, each with a different use.

azureus (amazing torrent client, but requires java to be installed first): best option in my opinion for accessing torrent files and as anyone knows, if you want something at the best speed possible, and it's popular enough to be listed then there's a torrent for it. azureus adds the ability of an emule or kazaa kind of feel to torrent downloading, with columns, trackers and even an upload ability where you can seed stuff to friends or just make your stuff known to the torrent community.

kazaa lite k++ v2.4.3 (kazaa lite was created by some coders who hated kazaa's inclusion of bonzai buddy, gator and other useless shite spyware, these days even kazaa lite requires a fee to download but the last and best free version was 2.4.3 but even that is slowly being hounded off the net by the kazaa corporation): kazaa is easily the simplest download program, you just search & click. it is useful for just about any kind of music and most other little files and has a fairly good download rate for most things.

emule plus (a version of emule that was created by the emule community to have all the things people thought emule should include) again, my opinion at the best edonkey client - emule is easily the slowest of these 3 programs but seems to always find somewhere within it's network that really, really obscure file that nowhere seems to have. I use it for everything from gaming files to songs kazaa can't find, but it just tends to take 2 or 3 days to Download stuff

I've tried a tonne of different programs like dc++ (all the best stuff is on the biggest hubs, you need like 160gb of pure music/movies to even gain access to them, all the shite stuff is on the smaller hubs, so you still need atleast 40 to 80gb of pure downloadable media just to get humperdink's greatest hits.) and i've tried stuff like imesh, audiograbber, winmx and soulseek and tbh most seemed to me to be either fiddley beyond control to setup, awkward to join a server or channel or just plain shite. though i did like winmx for a time and i do have a few friends that swear by soulseek, yet i've never seen it running :cheese:
