Salut seaweednew!
In my opinion (and the opinion of many filesharing experts) Bearshare 5.1.0 beta25 is at the moment the strongest p2p program on the net. Its completely malware free!
Visit the technutopia forum for support and download. Its the place where filesharing experts and beta testers meet. They are very friendly and will give you tips and advices, if you have any problems running bearshare or another p2p program.STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
5.1.0 beta25 is the last officially released beta version by Free Peers in September 2005. Being completely free of adware, spyware or any other extras like that, it is considered by Technutopia to be THE version to have (the latest BearShare--now owned by Musiclab, LLC--is available at the official BearShare website, and comes bundled with the Zango software).
Since the beta has long expired, you will also need to download the BearStart utility to make the beta work again.
Go there for 5.1.0 beta25 download:
