So I use Limewire Pro right now but I’m just wondering if anyone can suggest a more reliable peer-to-peer program? It doesn’t necessarily have to be on the Gnutella network either.

Discussions of P2P programs are generally not allowed, as it is assumed you are using them to violate copyrights.

Yes, and we don’t discuss the usage of the internet either, because bad guys use it to transfer _drug money_, which supports _terrorists_.

For copyright rules, see Post #3 in this thread… and see the Registration Agreement for “illegal acts.” We consider that discussions of P2P and file-sharing are pretty much discussions of how to evade copyright laws. The excuse “I just want to download public domain movies and Linux distributions” is lame. Very.
