limewire is crap!!

i've noticed in the gnutella forums that limewire has the most threads posted on it by far. i take the reason for this to be the unreliability of the program. i've "tried", unsuccessfully, to use limewire since os 9.1. i can honestly say i've downloaded approx. 6 files off of limewire in the last year and a half. it always ends up with bunk search returns, or the famous "infinite requery". sometimes i disconnect and reconnect and will get more search returns, but alas, there is always the naughty "infinite requery" to dash any hopes of trading any files. i don't want any help with this problem, because there really is no helping this situation. limewire is crap. sure it may work wonders for a small percentage of you, but for the rest of us, we're tired of posting useless threads just to get the same reply to the same question:

"i can't d/l a thing!"
"uh, are you behind a firewall?"
"no"
"........"
"thanks"

so what are mac users supposed to do? i have yet to run into anything semi-comparable with Morpeus, or Kazaa. does anyone use these progs on virtual PC with any luck? all we have to choose from is limewire, mactella, and carracho. i need music, files, information, community!!!
