A while ago I looked at p2ps to find a good one that was mostly GOOD files and had NO ad or spyware, this is hard to find anymore. I settled on shareaza which was clean but never got the amount results I wanted. well now Shareaza has stopped returning results completely, I may have to configure my router or something cuz i havent done that but what is a better p2p that still has no adware or spyware?

Limewire & Frostwire are equally good clients. If you get Limewire, look out for the Pro version which is marginally better.

There is no way remotely whatsoever that you will ever avoid infected software using one of those p2p group apps.

The only way you get pretty good security from that is joining a private tracker and using the BT network, or better yet, buy your software.

my main point was avoiding adware and spyware that is bundled with many p2p programs, I know you cant avoid some of that when its in the stuff you download off p2ps. But shareaza did have 95% of its files as good files where others like kazaa only half of the files may be good. the problem is my shareaza stopped returning and search results.

Bit torrents need to be settings changed in your router or your adsl modem.

Also in regards to p2p go with frostwire, basically limewire has gone down or is going down and frostwire is made by the same people but because of the ongoing lawsuits goin on they moved to frostwire and its clean and has no problems with adware or spyware, but u will always need to check for viruses regardless.

Limewire is now known to be bundled with malware, use frostwire, you'll be fine (if you use peergaurdian2)
