P2P Software for the Mac?

Posted by Cliff on from the power-to-the-people dept.

NeptalTim asks: "I've recently started using the Mac as my primary computer again after a hiatus of several years. All 'switch' jokes aside, I'm liking it very much, except for the decided lack of good P2P software. I always used Kazaa on Windows, but the best app I've found for the Mac is Limewire, which is a tad slow to say the least. What do Slashdot readers in the Mac community use for P2P?" I've been using iSwipe for a short amount of time and have found it useful. It's no WinMX, but it works. What other P2P programs have you found that you like?

    seriously. I love this name. it says, "hey, lawyers, come and get me! nya nya nya!" it also sounds like "asswipe" if your from the right geography.

    Yes I agree, those poor musicians won't get their .0001% cut of the cd you steal.

    This doesn't have to do with Macs, but I hadn't heard of the WinMX program before, so I did a Google search on it, and the first Paid Ad that came up was:

    Winmx - Downloading unauthorized files is illegal.

    Thought that was kinda interesting.

    Why is it only music that is concerned when someone brings up P2P? We could be sharing video clips of our kids' birthday parties, or databases of our favorite holiday recipes....

    Nevermind.....Yeah, we are stealing music....
