I am in need of a good spyware free peer-to-peer file sharing program. I currently use WIN MX but find that downloads take a long time as it currently features only single source downloading.

Any suggestions?

Mods don’t like us to discuss ways to break the law on this board, and they’ve decided that that includes any discussion of this type of program. I expect this’ll be locked soon, I’m afraid.
