I use SoulSeek as when I can't find what I want on WinMX or KazaaLite (and I'm looking for dance tracks). I've found It has mp3s even WinMX doesn't have!

I use shareaza or blubster if winmx doesnt have what im looking for, which is rare, but it does happen.

Limewire, what else? Anybody who uses Gnucleus is just somebody who hates spyware. I do too, thats why I use Freewire, a Limewire clone with OPTIONAL spyware. I don't know what to tell you, but Limewire is much more effective than Gnucleus. (Both open-source, but Limewire has a bigger set of coders that span the globe)

Look out for Limewire 2.5, its coming in less than a week, and has features that make it resemble WinMX in many respects, such as file hashing, optimized swarming, ultrapeers, and something Gnucleus doesn't have, host browsing.

I use different clients because of the different networks. To me - different networks mean more users & more files. I like to use WinMx (with Open Nap), Blubster, IMesh (FastTrack & their own network), EDonkey, Filetopia & FileNavigator (Their own nwtwork, OpenNap& Gnutella). I use 3 Gnutella clients - Shareaza, AquaLime & Gnucleus because each has it's good points. Between all these clients - if I can't find the song I'm looking for - It's not available.
