Aimster is cool. Download here and see the screen shots of it and see the benefits of switching over. So far, after installing, it is stable and downloading nicely. I have emailer on, netscape browsing and Aimster is just doing what it should in the background.

Yes, I like Aimster too. It's quite a bit like Napster. I found two problems though:

Joining channels crashes the program EVERY TIME. But I can live without the channels.

However a worse problem is that there just aren't enough users. I never find what I'm looking for and even if I do, the files aren't downloadable, because there's a queue, which usually is very long and slow.

So unfortunately I don't get much out of Aimster for the moment. On Gnutella there's a lot to be found so I guess I have to put up with Mactella until something better comes out.

I have tried everything from Limewire to Mactella to Phex to Napster. I tried allocating more RAM, but they all crash or freeze. Let's face it, Macs are great but the availability of a good file sharing program is horrible. I just downloaded Aimster and it seems to be working great. As for the availalbility of files, I found some pretty obscure stuff, so I think it will work great for me. Try this one out, I think I can finally stop stressing. Yay for Aimster!!!!

yes, now i use aimster as well, but i had a much easier time finding files on limewire, until it stopped connecting. aimster's the best thing i can use now, but if anyone finds out what's with that -39 error (in the limewire installer), i'd be VERY happy.
