The availability of files is indirectly connected to the quality of
the basic program - you can have the most technologically advanced
network, but it's otherwise worthless unless those who participate have
the media you want. I'm surprised that WinMX doesn't have what you
want - it's always been a great source of stuff that I couldn't get on
Kazaa or WinMX. As for Kazaa-lite, I herd it had spyware as well. I
tried it years ago, and could neither get it to run or even uninstall.
If you're going to go the P2P route, you're really better off with
WinMX.
