I'll second Soulseek. Another relatively bs-free program is WinMX, which happens to be my first choice. www.winmx.com I've tried Soulseek a couple of times in the few weeks I've had it... for what I've been looking for, WinMX seems to have a much larger quantity of offerings. And it's not simply quantity either, I've had good luck with finding new electronic music to sample. I'll note that a couple of people I know did initially experience problems connecting with WinMX, but after tinkering with some settings, they were able to get it to work fine. Personally, I've never had a problem (I'm on dial-up and I also use a firewall).
Tried LimeWire... I hated it. Also tried out something called Blubster, which was so-so... I still prefer WinMX over that. I also have Bearshare, I have had no luck getting it to even work. Check out www.afternapster.com for a fairly comprehensive list of what's hot as far as the current offering of P2P programs go. I know of people that have had good luck finding songs via ftp, but I'd only go that route with a broadband connection. There's not much that's more boring than watching something upload for 20-30 minutes in order to satisy someone's "ratio" requirements.
