Kazaa is just a slow poisen to your computer. It was my first ever P2P network and it royally screwed my computer. From that point on I have used bearshare BETA. I tried Limewire but I found it to be too cramped with files that ultimately do nothing but advertise pr0n. Therefore, I would recommend Limewire over Kazaa, but ultimately would recomment Bearshare or internet torrents for your downloading pleasure, since they are more secure and have less malicious software/adware.

I use Limewire & I love it. Sometimes the searches don't have anything good in them, but the searches are pretty broad & it's a good program.

Do not under any circumstances use KaZaA! Unlike limewire and most other well-known P2P programs, KaZaA is bundled with 9 different types of malware that is automatically installed on your system. Here's my P2P guide:

I have a short explanation of the popular protocols in my latest(bottom) post at that link.

(Bearshare isn't actually a P2P network anymore, you have to pay. When it was a P2P network, before it was acquired, it operated on the same network as limewire)
