I use mIRC for all my file sharing needs. Well, it not really filesharing, more like nothing but leeching. Well, no spyware and pretty fast most of the time. It is just requires a bit of configuration for it to work and you kina need to know what you are doing to get exactly what you want.

The other way I fileshare (or in more accurately... leech) is using torrents. The progam I use to handle torrents is azerus, its faster than bit-torrent and I can leech better by lowering my upload limit to 5kb/s. It doesnt force me to upload at a fast speed in order to download at decent speeds. I woudlnt have no problem with this if uploading too much didnt slowdown my internet to a crawl, making browsing worse mcuh than it is on a 56k.

But I get mostly big files so the method I download things with probably isnt best for you since you are on 56k.
