I use a program called Ares. I've used it for the last 4-5 years. Easy to use and laid out similar to Limewire.

I ditched other p2p years ago, too many viruses. At least with torrents you can see other comments which suggest if it is a safe file or a virus.

I stopped using p2p years ago too. Never really felt comfortable with allowing people a direct connection to my PC.

I've heard *ahem* there are filesharing forums that will provide links for you to download whole albums, films, TV series etc. from RapidShare (and other hosting sites) these days.

Not that I would condone this of course... ;-) But getting a 30 day unlimited access to Rapidshare or similar could provide you with a lot of downloads in one go very easily and quickly.

Torrents are of course the other commone one, and finally Usenet/Newsgroup services.
