With Sharmans (sp?) threats and the RIAA's crap. What is the best alternative to K-lite, or should we all still use K-lite?
thanks.

Sharman just forced the removal of any references to Kazaa Lite on the main website.
K-Lite itself is pretty much alive. You can still use it with no problems. ;)
Any good newsGroups? but should be free :lol:

What about ES5 (http://www.google.com)*. It is a great program which provides direct FTP downloads and anonymous proxies :D.
I would go for using IRC. Newsgroups are crap for binaries because: Lots of servers don't cache binares
You can sometimes get incomplete files
You need to pay to access a good newsgroup server
*Don't use ES5. it contains malware. I was being sarcastic.

i have 5 day retention at 99.9% completion rate for free on 36000 groups (including the top binary groups) :)
you can't just make a blanket statement like that and expect it to fly...
edit: also, par and par2 files are used to repair incompletes

If you're looking for music exclusively, i would suggest SoulSeek (http://www.slsknet.org).
Otherwise, download BitTorrent (http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html) and take a stroll to Supernova. (http://suprnova.org)
for new things i use mIRC cuz: Best Speed
No Fake
No coruption
1st to get new files
