Unhappy Fine, I've gone and made my own

Yeah, so I've absolutely scoured the net looking for a p2p that will automatically download a list of songs for me - I came up with 3 options:
1) Napshare (does run on Windows) - but DOESN'T @#$#ing WORK ON WINDOWS
2) GTK-Gnutella - only works in Linux
3) MLDonkey - a script that only runs in Linux (they did make a Windows version of the script, but guess what? IT DOESN'T WORK!)

So after coming here and receiving absolutely no help,
and after moaning on the Napshare forums and receiving absolutely no help

I've gone and found an OPEN SOURCE p2p that was developed in DELPHI.
After MANY MANY hours of work, I've gone and changed it to my needs.

So, all you windows developers trying to compete in a flooded open-source p2p market, I greatly respect you all a lot, but c'mon, did I really have to invest about 15 hours of my life on developing something that would have taken you 15 minutes to program?(It took me so long because I had to find all the missing components, install them all, and then figure out what the hell was going on).

Limewire still rocks, but it's rather shameful that there hasn't been a Download Robot for windows or Limewire
