I've tried:

Bear Share: It was awesome, but the songs wouldn't work on my mp3 player and 2 weeks after I got it, it said my trial had ended....bummer.

LimeWire: My current, Its okay but hardly any music will download and it always says "need more sources to download".

Ares & Kazaa: My dad won't let me get these because we got really nasty viruses from both of them.

So is there any better ones? And it has to be free...

Me personally I'll take Limewire. Probably whenever you get on nobody is using Limewire so try having it on from Mon.-Fri. Midnight-9 or 10 pm. If that doesn't work try Morpheus
