Soulseek is a bit lackluster as of late. In it's prime, it was quite good, but nowadays there are much fewer users and I can't seem to find what I want usually.
Sorry I can't add a suggestion as well, but I'm sort of in P2P limbo like you after the aforementioned decline in Soulseek users.

Oops, forgot to add--I usually am looking for uncommon or rare stuff on Soulseek. If you're looking for relatively conventional/ popular music, it might be right for you.

DC++ is good only if you have a good library and connection. Ares might be good. Gnucleus would be good for music as well. It uses the Gnutella Network(Limewire) AND Gnutella2. Lots of good stuff there.

Always use BitTorrent if you can find a torrent for what you need.
eMule is the largest one and it's great for rares, old downloads no longer available in torrents, and mass downloads (downloading many files at once). It's bad for choosing one file and expecting it to be finished quickly. It works best in long sessions.

Signed. eMule can't work quickly worth a damn, but over an extended duration, WOW. I left it on when I left for Christmas vacation once with like 100 rare items queued (all 700mb or bigger), and returned to find a HD stuffed full of "late Christmas presents." ;) Yes, eMule is a miracle worker indeed, but be prepared to wait a loooooong time.

On a side note, lately my intarnets have been cutting out for no reason when I use eMule heavily/run more than 4 torrents at once. I'm using a Scientific Atlanta USB Cable Modem with Roadrunner. Anyone know why this might be happening? It didn't before at my old place (SurfBoard non-USB cable modem, Roadrunner) so I was guessing it wasn't the ISP...but I could be wrong. Unplugging power cable from the modem and replugging it fixes the problem, but this is obviously a pain and I can't keep doing it when I leave the house.

Did you saturate your bandwith? Also try different port for your p2p needs.

USB was not meant for that sort of thing. You will lose your connection periodically. It is great for transfering files and print jobs, but a connection sustained for weeks on end? Not so much.

BitTorrent for life man. Limewire or Shareaza work good enough for those single songs you want but for almost everything else (movies, games, porn, games, albums, porn) BT rules the street.
