What is the best file sharing (no spam)program?
Uh depends what you want?? Though I don't think spam is a problem. viruses and Spyware yes big prob.
if your willing to pay some cash then go for newsgroups. if not Bittorrent.
Learn more about bittorrent:

if you decide to go for Bittorrent should use UTorrent: http://www.utorrent.com/download.php
of coure i'm not biased in any way ;)
you could always try Limewire or Kaza they're good :shifty:
This is so subjective..so here is my choice ... Lopster http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/w...0.zip?download
This is a multi-sourcing client with irc compatibility... and you can log onto my filesharing network with it :)
bittorents run best for me, and I have never had a problem with spam and viruses. other than that, emule is the only other program I really run much. it seems to have a good selection of files and is reasonably easy to use.

Yep,
I think Usenet is well worth the cash though....
Is usenet worth it? And how does it work compared to bittorrents?

Best of all, you upload nothing to anyone. So you're not connecting to anyone or thing but a server. It's virtually impossible to get caught using. To the best of my knowledge no one has in it's 25 year history.
You always download at full speed (this is wonderful. I went from downloadind Divx to DVDs)
Your downloads always complete
No bleeping rato to worry about.
It's worth the maybe 15 dollars a month.
I use Bittorrent for large files (movies, software etc.) and Limewire for music. I think they are okay.

Check out DC++ and take a glimpse of other peoples programs that they want to share. Also connecting to hubs also depends on how much you have to offer. Say you have 50 GB to share total then you will be able to connect to that min share hub at start up. This is a great source to Dling your files.
utorrent by far is the best
