| The Bottom Line | Though its search hits are capped, LimeWire Basic is spyware-free, attractive, and easy to use. | Unrestricted searches, a relatively ad-free interface, and chat connectivity make Ares 1.88 a good choice for many users, but LimeWire offers a cleaner interface. | After months of hemming and hawing, Streamcast finally delivers a new and improved version of its popular file-sharing app. | With blaring ads, bundled spyware, and limited searches, Kazaa 3 is one free P2P client you should avoid. | Kazaa has a decent set of file-swapping tools, but watch out for adware, paid listings, and for-fee downloads. |
