I do use BitTorrent, but it's never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.

For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.

I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?

soulseek, fopnu, emule, dc++. For old/rare content, emule is the best.

Wow, I haven't used the old school P2P programs in over a decade. I honestly didn't think they existed anymore for some reason.

They’re going hard still

Which client would one use for Emule nowadays?

Any specific server you recommend? And is there anything on windows like mldonkey where you can search call the servers at once?

Yeah, seriously, the most updated one for Linux had the last release a few years ago.

Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.
