I use WinMX for hard to find (almost obscure) stuff. I can't say it's the best. What's the better alternative?
Generally speaking, you won't find truly obscure stuff with P2P clients. A much better alternative is to find a "specialist" site you can download Torrent files from...

yeah-but your in the minority then...😛
And these sites shouldn't have to worry about being shut down or harrassed. Which means they'll probably still be where you'd expect them to be next time you need them.

If you have a point, please make it soon and put us all out of our misery.

Originally posted by Bowmannmy point was that most people use peer to peer sharing for illegal purposes. if you download a song off WinMX, then it is, generally, illegal. that is my point.
Nor do I.

my other point has a long shaft at the end of it. most people would call the shaft and the point combined a "spear". i call it betsy.
