Kazaa.. I've never touched it and will not.
It's a spyware devil.

yeah... Kazaa *lite* is great. No spyware I don't think, Fishu. They just released a new version which has an IP blocker that "blocks organizations like the RIAA" if that's what you're worried about.

Kazza, and the lite version are bad for your computers. MiRC would be the best bet, but I'd still be scanning each file I d/l. I agree with Fishu, there are much better places, but they are not really available to the general public. Learn MiRC.
