- Morpheus
One of the best programs to find music, videofiles and more
- can resume interrupted downloads. You can even find whole
movies to download! New
Morpheus preview edition.
KaZaA
Probably the best program now - it's exactly like the old
Morpheus! But ...
... were you aware that one California company had quietly
installed a "stealth" peer to peer application on thousands
of PC's?
Brilliant Digital Entertainment admitted to just that in a
federal securities filing Monday. In what can only be called
ambitious, the hidden peer to peer application exists to distribute
advertising or music to customers, or perhaps to assist in
distributed computing projects.
The application does require the user's consent to begin functioning.
Brilliant plans to "turn on" the network shortly. Once active,
the network will run along-side, but separately from the Kazaa
network.
Brilliant insists this is an "opt-in" technology, though the
companies have bundled the terms of service agreements, so
if you agree to Kazaa, you agree to Brilliant's client as
well.
More detail can be found at either CNet
article or in this
article at CDFreaks. The latter contains instructions
on how to remove the application
iMesh
Another fine program to download music. But with iMesh, you
can get much more - especially videos and pictures of your
favourite groups - even whole movies if you are lucky! And
you can continue downloads that were interrupted. But be aware
of the spyware that is bundled with iMesh!
WinMX
Very similar to Napster, but with some advantages - you can
download not only mp3's, but also vidoes and other files,
and you can continue downloading files when the transfer was
interrupted! Go

Bearshare
Built on Gnutella-technology (another program to share files),
it works similar to iMesh.
Limewire
Another Gnutella-technology program, with a cool design that
beats the others.
Works similar to Bearshare or iMesh.
