P2P is NOT illegal.

However if you download files/data that you have no license etc for.... that is illegal

get kazaa lite at www.k-lite.tk. there should be no other choice. a new minor update was released yesterday and it's absolutely astounding. no spyware, super fast, a ton of extra options, and above all, it looks great.

www.slsk.org is also very good but moving their server, so wait a week or so.

Direct connect is good for serious downloading. Its not kazaa or the others - if you can share 50gb+ and have a fast connection then Direct Connect is the ONLY good one for you

How does Kazza Lite compare with Grokster. I have used Kazza in the past and find Grokster whilst on the same network was better for "Resuming" and seemed better for getting files from multiple users simultaniously.

Kazaalite is excellent but it DOES have spyware contrary to what everyone thinks. Make sure to use AdAware to rid you machine of spyware.
Another choice would be Sharezaa not nearly as good but spyware free!

Do tell more about KLite having spyware, please.

I've checked clean installs with Ad-Aware and SpyBot S+D and never found a thing. Perhaps you downloaded it from another website?

Or perhaps you are confused because older Ad Aware scans would pull a false positive on the "dummy" Cydoor that Kazaa Lite installs? (Newer updates of Ad Aware no longer pull this false positive)

Read through the FAQ @ www.k-lite.tk and they have a section on spyware.
