I use Bittorrent or KazaaLite (which is getting harder to find these days). You could always crack Limewire. If you've got a version that let's you insert a serial number, you can always use
www.serials.ws to get a crack for it. I'm a little hesitant about recommending that site since it's hard to navigate without getting loads of spyware, but unless you can find a Limewire keygen somwhere else, it's kinda your only shot. I don't have any problem with P2P stuff so long as I'm running PeerGuardian2. If I see anyone looking in that I don't like, I can just terminate the download until they stop looking (no one will email you about a half-downloaded song). Really, as long as you're not actually sharing files you're not in much danger. I used Kazaa and KazaaLite (and the earlier version, Morpheus) for years and didn't have the slightest hint of trouble until I started sharing when I got cable. Then *WHAM* two very polite emails from BayTSP telling me I'd shared files that weren't mine (no shit). All I had to do was delete the files (although if I'd disabled sharing they never would've known if I still had the files, anyway).
mIRC is a good program, too...but it took me forever to learn how to use it (all of that /j or !list or /whois and !ping crap) and I've probably forgotten most of it over the years. Trust me Lyna...that's not the way you wanna go. You get frustrated too easily.
