For 'stuff', Carracho is an excellent Mac-only resource (for educational purposes only, people!). For 'smut', I find gnut to be an excellent Gnutella client, although it is command-line only. For music, XNap is excellent, although you have to share at least 100 files to be let on to most of the servers.

mldonkey appears to be quite good although you may need to be a relatively technically minded person to use it. Also DirectConnect.

XNap.

It's nice to have other programs like iSwipe and Neo around, but XNap is the best.

You may want to consider Virtual PC with Kazaa Lite and WinMX. I know that's not a Mac solution but they do work really well.

After about a week of running Aquisition, I'm finally happy with it (It takes forever to collect a good Ultrapeer list.)

Every bloody file I get from Acquisition is one of those RIAA corrupted files.

If I wanna sample a CD, I get on Sharaza on my XP box.
