Hey, does anyone know of a good file-sharing program for music that works well for the Mac. So far, I found only LimeWire. Any suggestions???

Limewire really stinks on OS X these days, IMHO. I always point people to Poisoned which works great and connects to gnutella (Limewire), Fastrack (Kazaa), and a couple other networks simultaneously and seamlessly.
Bit Torrent is good if you can find good trackers (as already mentioned). My favorite torrent client on OS X is Azureus though there is also Tomato Torrent and an official Bit Torrent Client for OS X.
[edit] Hey, nice link to xFactor, Looks like it hits all the same networks as poisoned and has a few nice other features to boot. I'm going to give it a try for a while[/edit]

I've never really had a problem with Limewire, works speedily enough. initial startup is slow, but once its up and running, works like a charm for me.

xFactor is the only way to go. Can't complain about a program that connects to gnutella, fast track, ares, and open FT all at the same time
