Thanks, I'll give this one a try as well.  All of these places seem to come
and go.

I think Kazaa is dead.  They're involved  in some legal wranglings in 
Australia so I think the network is down and has been for some months now. 
Direct Connect works very nicely though.  For this, I use the DC++ client. 
I'm using DC++ version .674.  Another file sharing program you can try is 
Ares P2P.  This one is very Jaws accessible as well.  You can find it on 
Download.Com.  Make sure the one you get says Ares P2P and not just Ares. 
The version you'll find there will not include any spyware.  However, it is 
a shareware version and you'll periodically   get a pop-up message asking 
you to buy the thing.  I wouldn't buy it though because I've tried emailing 
the makers of the software and never got any response.  Still, the software 
works great and I don't have a problem putting up with the occasional pop-up

ad.  Another option is BitTorrent.  There are many different clients you can

choose from.  The one BitTorrent client I've heard that works with Jaws is 
called UTorrent I think.  I haven't tried this one yet but I intend to.

Michael
