OT- to those who download music... which software is best?

Limewire?
Bearshare?
Kazaa?
Emule?

any users out there with an opinion?
I just don't want to try them all - I have heard some good and bad things about all of them, so advice is appreciated!

of a nephew attending a Computers technology carrer at the University. Feel it is better, but have never heard of the other two.

If you're at school, both Kazaa and Limewire will get red flagged pretty easily, and bit torrent is just ****. At home I have limewire and kazaa, kazaa seems better for porn and limewire for music. At school there's always some new
p2p sharing server popping up, be-it sharescan, i2hub, etc etc. Ares works now and again, but there are a lot of crap files. I miss the free napster.

i've been using torrents and soulseek
with good results

if you try kazaa, consider kazaa lite resurection instead it claims it has no spyware, but still same features

I use soulseek.

If you're not a hacker (or greater skill set) you shouldn't be using any of them. I make a living bringing back computers from the dead because of these stupid programs. Nothing in life is free. Get itunes and save some money to spend wisely, borrow music from friends, learn to live life without instant gratification. You will be much more happy in the end.

i use limewire but my brother in law is over almost every month deleting some virus/trojan/someother thing that we get from it.. he's a tech guy so he knows pretty well what he's doing
lots of good music on limewire.. just dangerous sharing.
i try to borrow music from friends as much as possible since being advised not to burn it from limewire and since getting my ipod.. my collection is almost 5000 songs

I could have either bought all the music I have, or I can now buy a 540i/6 ... which would you rather do?
