You could also try one of the Gnutella clients, eg LimeWire, but it will be slow unless you have DSL. A couple of tips: Most of the napster like programs are spyware (sorry I can't remember any of their names). WinMX is one of the few that aren't. When you set up file sharing, do share your files too (usually MP3s) other wise you are leeching (also many users will block your download, including myself). But don't share your entire hard drive, for obvious reasons.	Guest (0)

It can resume broken downloads but you cannot listen to the song as its downloading. Although it can be a little slow on 56k. I heard winmx is good so I might give that a go soon.	Guest (0)

18196	2001-09-05 12:24:00	i use winmx it is good for linking to multiple servers at once. i also use morpheus, i belive it does have the spyware mentioned above, but i not had any problems from this. with morpheus you can share mp3s, pic, videos, software almost anything. i would advise a good firewall for any p2p activity and anti virus software updated	Guest (0)
