if you are on a college campus, more than likely you have a DC++ server, which in that case I use shakespeer

Wrong forum. All P2P apps are APPLICATIONS, right. So they don't go in the iBook/MacBook forum, the go in the ... that's right! The Applications Forum! Good job!

I also recommend the free Cabos. LimeWire is bloatware (and isn't to be trusted after the LimeShop incident), and Acquisition is nagware. Plus they're all based on the same core anyway!

Can't believe nobody has said bittorrent. Although it isnt a pure p2p, but none the less it is definitely the only thing I use. I dont like LimeWire because after the Kazaa/Morpheus incident of the RIAA polluting bad files, I havent been on those kinds of networks

BitTorrent's really not a replacement for the gnutella network (of which LimeWire, Cabos, Acquisition, etc. are clients), and neither is gnutella a replacement for BitTorrent.

Can somone help me?
I have resently switched to a mac. The only problem is my downloading speed. I have a 2 meg broadband which running on a p2p normally gets around 50 to 200k/s. Downloading on a pc.
But on my mac i am struggling to get 10k/s. I have tried a number of applications and they are all the same. Even direct internet downloading is not very fast.

Limewire.
Getting better and faster with every new version ( now up to v4.13 ; go with the Pro ---it's only $ 18.00 ). Just be sure your Java is up to date, too.

IMO, Limewire has turned into a resource hog. I'm sitting on a Ghz eMac with 10.3.9, and while I haven't tried the latest version, the 4.10+ versions would drag the whole system to a crawl. Eventually I downgraded to 4.8.1 (good thing I tend to backup nearly every little thing I download), and been happily using that.
