Yeah, I do, but I kind of wanted to switch to WinMX b/c of Kazaa getting sued and possibly shut down, and some people say it's better, but maybe not. :P

WinMX isn't very good.

I wouldn't worry about Kazaa. If they get shut down there will be 4660432 exact copies of it under a different name that pop up.

Psh, Winmx kicks the crap out of Kazaa for a few reasons. 1. Rarely will you find fakes on Winmx. and 2. It runs a lot cleaner and doesnt kill your resources.

Winmx can suck at times but you should easily be able to get high speed downloads of you fiddle with the dl settings and pull from multiple sources.

1. What do you mean by fakes?
2. Kazaa Lite uses little to no resources.

Fakes are songs that take on the name of a song (usually a new one) when they're really just another song. For example if you try to get an album that hasnt been released yet over Kazaa, more often then not you'll end up with a song that isnt new, but is titled like it is.

And Kazaa or kazaa lite does use quite a bit of resources especailly if you play songs using Kazaa. The more you play the more your resources drop. At least this is what i found.
