It depends on the way you're searching for stuff, and the quality you want to get.
With emule, you can search all connected computers for a file named "Knoppix". However, if a malicious user decides to download a porn movie and hide it by renaming it "Knoppix", you will get a porn movie instead of your Linux distribution.
However there are several websites to get edonkey links, that find files via an unique checksum instead of a filename.
Make sure, that you download emule from the official www.emule-project.net, as a lot of other emule sites bundle emule with spyware and/or trojans.
Another popular P2P client works via Bittorrent. The Bittorrent protocol ensures, that you don't get any fake files like in a emule search. However you need a website that links to the Torrent file.
Currently there is no way to search for Torrent files like in emule.
A popular Windows program is Azureus available at www.getazureus.com

It used to be Kazaa, but right now I think limewire is in the top spot. Bit torrent isn't technically peer to peer is it? Anyway, a lot of people use it, but the interface isn't nearly as convenient, I've had better results with limewire.

Hi,
You can download Emule for free here http://j.mp/1qd9PY1
To use eMule, just connect to a server or the Kad network, search for the file you want to download, and wait for the download to complete. It is surely the best free open source P2P client.

I think that using torrents as much as possible is the best solution. I like Utorrent. Limewire and others like it put spyware on your PC.

Limewire, http://www.limewire.com
There is also bittorent:
Bittorent is a bit more advanced and requires configuration if a router is present. read up more on bittorent before trying it by googling it or typing it in a yahoo search engine.
Hope this helps.

its depends what type of files you want to download.
go for limewire pro if you need to download smaller files. if you are want to download fiels which are greater then 50mb then go for torrents.
install bitcomet from www.bitcomet.com and there is inbuilt search option.
you will get anythign you want.
