I don't think it has the same spyware problems as Kazaa has. You should be careful with any P2P, though. I've used WinMX before and had no problems. I use Kazaa Lite now, though.

No more or less spyware or virus risks than any other P2P.

The console takes some getting used to.

Also for my purposes, there aren't as many people sharing obscure/alternative/hard-to-find musical gems as some others.

Some people will swear it's the best though.

Its pretty good, you won't get any problems. I have it because my computer freezes everytime I start Kazaa up. But if your computer won't let you use Kazaa, them WINMX is the next best thing I think. The downloads are pretty fast and a lot of users are on it so you can find pretty much anything that you need. And it's easy to use too.

I didn't mean to post the same reply twice.

Funny thing about Kazaa Lite and Kazoom the enhancement for speed freaks.

The other day McAfee told me the program (executable not any downloaded files) is now infected with some "new" P2P worm. My other a-v software and an on-line check doesn't confirm the thing at all.



I would still recommend Kazaa Lite for ease of use over the others.

My problem with P2P's is it involves punching a hole in my firewall.

WinMX is a pretty good program. I use it myself every once in a while when I cant find what Im looking for on Kazaa Lite.

You should have no problems as long as you virus scan all your downloads.

Kazaa Lite has a new version, Kazaa Lite K ++. It has way more features, including allowing downloads from more sources than Kazaa, hiding what you have in the share folder (so as not to attract attention of the RIA), and a boatload more. I haven't tried it out yet, but if it is an improvement over Kazaa Lite, I would use that instead of WinMX. But, you should be happy with WinMX.

imesh is the way to go

Like freddie said, Kazaa lite ++ !

www.kazaa-lite.tk...

You can set your participation level at 1000 (surpreme) nd disable to share any files, that way you can fully use your bandwith.
It auto searches for more users.

I use to have Winmx. you can download pictures,audio,and video. I uninstalled it because i was getting viruses

Thanks for your help and input guys, its helped me make my mind up!
