4) Kazaa:

kazaa logoLike Shareaza, Kaaza was one of best and most popular p2p during early days of p2p evolution. but in past few year due to many issues like virus infected files, lawsuite, spywares, Kazaa has lost its

popularity.

However kazaa has been continually trying to make Kazaa network virus and spyware free with many new features like built in virus scanner, infected file blocking made available in latest Kazaa Client to protect users.

Kazaa Lite is one of best client of Kazaa P2P network for file sharing.

iMesh LogoiMesh another popular and

spyware, adware free

p2p file sharing

    Great round-up, but I can’t tell you the last time I used p2p, partly because of the crappy download speeds, partly because of all the malware that goes along with the sites and partly because very few work on Mac. Bittorrent has been very good to me for the last few years.

    Beware, the above link to Shareaza is a Scam!
    The real address is http://shareaza.sourceforge.net for current version 2.4.0.0

    The old Shareaza.com domain was taken over by the music industry and given to iMesh, read about it at FakeShareaza.com

    Bearshare (or Bearshit as I call it) is the worst app ever. If you use it long enought it will fill up your harddrive with viruses and not let you delete the most of the files. It will youse all the free space you have to save diffrent files. Just stay away from it! Personal I only use uTorrent (Bittorrent works fine to). But what ever you do, dont use Bearshare!!
