I think these P2P file-sharing platforms are only as sophisticated as their user.  There is no way for an unsuspecting user to know where or when malware will strike, so it's up to them to stay savvy about the latest virus, trojan, worm, and other malware going around. \n\nCurrently, I use Morpheus to share files.  I did a little homework and decided that Morpheus was the best choice for my purposes.  And, as I have said before, I like Morpheus because it scans files for viruses and so forth after they've been downloaded, since you can configure it to work with your anti-virus software.  To me, that is a definite plus, because I might otherwise forget to scan a file, and as luck would have it,it'd be infected or mis-labeled.  \n\nThe best advice I can give you is to pay close attention when downloading files, and remember to scan them before you open them.  Prior to downloading any files, it might not be a bad idea to check the file size or make sure it's got a known file extension.  \n\nDepending on what you intend to use a P2P client for, you might be safer using something else to share files like Bit Torrent.  Bit Torrent usually features web based searches for large files and so forth.  Some of the more sophisticated P2P file sharing clients are starting to include Bit Torrent protocol as a part of their interfaces.

Download limewire at www.limewire.com  Great software that enables people to search for files and lets others share their files for free.  It is a free program too :)  Good luck!

Download the software (Strong DC is the best perhaps). You don’t even have to install it. Do the settings (which directory do you share) and launch it. It will show you all its public hubs. Some of them have a sharing limit (you must share at least ... GB of stuff), some of them don’t. Enter one of these hubs and you can search anything you want, including movies, music, software... etc. You will figure out on yourself the rest.\nWARNING!!! It is illegal to share copyrighted things, but it is not illegal to download them.

Any unregulated, "peer-to-peer" file sharing system carries a huge risk that the files you receive will include viruses, trojans or other malware.   And the really galling thing is that you went ahead and loaded them on your system yourself...\n\nI spend a good part of my day, vacuuming out customer systems, crippled by p2p file transfers.  I've had one particular laptop on the bench 5 times this year, so far, and it's always the same... hundreds of pieces of malware, format the drive, re-install everything, give it back to the owner with a stern lecture, and it comes back with Limewire and Kazaa in the start-up list...  and a million more invaders.

If you're on the same router, enable file sharing on the directories you want each computer to share.\n\nIf you're long-distance (not in the same network), then you'll need any P2P program. Soulseek is a great one.

You got it, the best way is through a router.  Just make sure it's a router with a built in ethernet switch (it should have around 5 network ports in the back).  Because it has a built-in firewall, it will keep your network safe from outside attackers while still allowing you to share files!

Are you sure that you're not referring to "BitTorrent"?  It is a filesharing application that is fairly popular.  If it is or is not, I've included the link to their site below.

Probably the best Windows P2P program is Shareaza.  It connects to many different P2P networks, which makes finding and getting your file easier.  For Linux, I like aMule, but there isn't a good all-in-one program such as Shareaza for Linux.  I have no clue what's available for the Mac.\n\nAs for legality... P2P software is like a gun.  It's only illegal if you use it illegally.  You can use P2P to download Public Domain and otherwise legal things or you can download a new release movie.  So, it's up to you to be legal or illegal on P2P.

BitTorrent, the tool for transfering files that that mininova.org centers around, is completely legal and legit. I lot of schools, companies, regular people, etc. use at as a great way to share large files.\n\nBut, like any file sharing program, it can be used for pirated programs, media, etc. as much as legit stuff.
