Need Advice: Looking for a better downloading experience, better selection, etc.

Hi all, I mostly download music, mostly single mp3 files. It's easy enough to find newer music. Stuff in the last 10 years for example, and I download a shitload of new stuff. I've used several different P2Ps including the old Kazaa lite (which I liked until half the files became garbage) I've used shareaza, emule, ares, limewire and soulseek. But most left me wanting more. If I try to find stuff from the 80s or 70s I'm out of luck unless it's Zeppelin or Eagles. So my question: Is there a decent P2P out there with good selection or am I screwed? I have downloaded bittorrent but don't really understand how to use it. I'm not a computer moron but torrents seem a little confusing to me. So anyone who has time to help me would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try reading about ng but takes more time to learn it.

NG's aint very hard, its kinda like torrent based but its just pure download no uploading required
