I've been using a program called Gnotella for awhile now. (NOT THE SAME THING AS GNUTELLA). Gnutella didn't work for me at all, and basically just drove me to forgo the whole downloading thing. I stumbled upon Gnotella a few weeks ago, and it works better for me than Napster does. It's a lot faster, and you can set how many users you share with at once. The thing I like best is that you can determine how many people can download from you at once and how long you will support their downloads. Happy downloading!
