WHY do I feel like I'm hearing an echo? READ the whole thread, it might answer that question.

With that said, it's not Mac, it's PC and if you're on the PC and like Kazaa, then use KazaaLite++ BUT the best for both are Direct Connect and Bit Torrent.

I've used mlmac for a while. It's a GUI for the mlnet daemon which hooks into kazaa, edonkey, soulseek, and a couple others. mlmac has a few quirks but it seems to get more stable with each release. There's also another GUI for mlnet called G2GUI which looks nice but won't run on my G3/800 ibook (10.2.8) for some reason.

mlnet screws up my upstream, i've basically stopped using it, i load it only when i need to let my friends access a few files.

I've found it isn't very noticable if I drop it to about 1/3 or less of my available outgoing bandwidth. I wouldn't want it running if I was into online gaming but 5kB keeps it from slowing down my email/surfing/telnet/etc.
 
i read about mlnet using more than what it's set for, and so i, at first, gave it 1/2, then moved to 1/3, and now it's at 1/4th, and it's still slowing my upstream, and when my mom uses her PC, she can't reach most websites.. but when i use my upload credit, and shut it off for a while, it's fine :)
 
is there any other software that uses multiple networks like mlnet? seems like folks have a lot of trouble with it.
can't seem to find G2GUI anywhere.
