For me, my p2p of choice has to be Kazaa. From what I am aware it is very similar (uses the same engine) to Morpheus.

The problem is very easy to use and presented well in a nice clear GUI. All the obvious searches are there for music, video, documents, and even playlists. There are filters so depending on your porn viewpoint you can get as much as you like or none!.

The intial install is 2 2 meg download and after installing you should be up and connected within 5 minutes. Connection speeds vary on usersbut you have a range from modem users to high speed T1 access. If downloading a file shared by many the file is split over the users to speed up download times. If a connection is lost, then it can be recovered at another time.

Whenever you login you will see many thousands of users sharing millions of files. Evenings are the best time to find files (uk time) as this appears to be when more people are on line.

The one drawback is spyware. I recommend if you use this to get some spyware catcher. I use adaware it finds loads.

Highly recommended.

In short loads of files all the time, and quick. Just watch out for spyware.

Well i don't know if you would consider it as a P2P but IRC is quite good. It's a little technical but I get entire albums from it.
Just download "Mirc" www.mirc.com
Then visit: http://www.packetnews.com/

You're own your own!

Kazaa lite ++ (K++) is the best
All bassheads features+ you can view the movies even when you don't have ended downloading them, you can let it search for more download sources (not by hand but automitic) your participation level is always 1000 (without uploading),
and no spy ware pop ups

I used morpheus, until it deviously switched sourses. Now I use kazaa, because spyware doesn't reather bother me. I'm not ashamed of what I d/l (... usually).

Why don't you use Kazaa lite?

It's exactly the same but theres no spyware or pop up windows.
