Napster

…

…iMesh, ftp, etc. are all alternatives to Napster. The most promising one right now, however, is Napigator. Napigator uses Napster technology. This Windows-only program lets users select an independently run, Napster-compatible server to connect to, based on capacity and performance data. It's easy to use, folding nearly seamlessly into the Napster application itself. Individual "nap servers" could still be shut down, but it's unlikely that all of them could easily be expunged from the Internet.
