I've recently started using overnet, another P2P network, with the 
ed2k-gtk-gui (http://ed2k-gtk-gui.sourceforge.net/download.shtml).  You 
can search for shared files like most p2ps, but downloads come in pieces 
from several different users, similar to bittorrent.  So it seems to do 
both things well:  easy to find and easy to download!
