Hello,
I have tried LimeWire and Kazaa (WINE) both kind of stink. Id hate to make it sound like im promoting windows software, but Kazaa on windows is the best one i have ever seen. Maybe someone can make me see the light? Where do I get mpegs, mp3s, books, images, etc..... Maybe something other than a filesharing program?

It's not a filesharing thing in the same vein as KaZaA, but it's some nice technology with which you can get some interesting content. It uses Java and usually works pretty well.
Freenet (http://www.freenetproject.org)
Just run the start-freenet script and then point your browser to 127.0.0.1:8888 and you'll be set to go.

check out Lmule (which is a port of the popular emule client to linux.)
lmule.sf.net
Absolutely superb for movies

Uhm, to my knowledge you'd be connecting to your own box with 127.0.0.1:8888 so.... yeah, would you mind explaining how that works?
sorry, I checked out the website, I misunderstood, it starts a service on your computer, and you have to use your browser to get the the user interface

Try giFT
It connects to OpenFT, an open Kazaa clone. It can also be compiled to connect to OpenFT and Gnutella at the same time.
It runs in the background so you can have files downloading while you don't waste RAM on bloated UIs.
If you can't compile stuff I wouldn't get it. Theres no binary out right now.

I don't know if you tried it or not but Limewire has a Linux version, Limewire for Linux (http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download#free)
It shows you all the ports it has.
Has anyone tried this, work well, install complicated?

Sorry to bump this up but... edonkey server is way better then kazaa. I use mldonkey, but lmule looks sweet.
Although I have kazaalite (wine) I no longer use it...

Though i have never tried it yet,
how about Overnet ?
http://www.overnet.com/
I've never heard of it before until I was research Linux P2P Clients just now and found it. {http://www.zeropaid.com/php/top_prog.php?frm_where=1&frm_where_type=nix}
anyone who has used it, what's your thoughts about it ?
