is there a file share like WinMX out there

[twilight-zone]

I forgot how bad some of these fiel share programs can be after using WinMX for 3+ years anyone know of a good program out there, or where WinMX has gone?

There arent exactly a hundred networks to choose from. I'd say pick the best client per-network and see how you like it. I use eMule (primarily), Limewire (rarely) and Azureus (occasionally).

I've never used WinMX so I don't know what the best replacement would be.

Gnutella? Limewire Pro (http://www.nsaneproductions.com/index.php?page=p2p/gnutella) (For now, until they potentially cut off copyright materials)
eDonkey? eMule (http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download)
FastTrack? K-Lite (http://www.nsaneproductions.com/index.php?request=325314) (Kazaa network is getting pretty damn bad though)
BitTorrent? Azureus (http://www.nsaneproductions.com/index.php?request=331848) (There are so many clients, I like Azureus but some people prefer BitTornado or the Official Bittorrent Client)

MP2P, Filetopia, Freenet, MUTE, Ants, Direct Connect? Dont bother.

K-Lite has over 2 million users and a shallow learning curve. For newbies, not a terrible choice (not really a good choice, but not terrible).

Ares is a comparable alternative to WinMX, but then I am using WinMX v.3.54 Beta 4... If I had to swich to another app, I'd go for Ares until I found a better app for movies and games.
