And now to end with the best. mIRC. With sites like packetnews, xdccspy, etc there is no way you can't find anything on the mIRC network. mIRC has evolved and is now very fast and reliable. You wont get a corrupt file, unless you download and resume your download off another bot. The speeds are incredibly fast. Although this program is confusing at first. once you learn it you will be glad you spent your time in learning how to use this unique P2P/chat client..
You do know that files you download off XDCC bots are hosted on compromised (trojanned) PCs which could very well be granny's old PC she uses for e-mail?
btw. mIRC isn't a network, it's a client. IRC is the protocol and there are many "networks"

No. Bittorrent needs no work, YOU need to work to open/forward the necessary ports so that people can download from you. If you don't do that, don't expect fast speeds.
