All you really need is ffdshow and xvid codec, It's hardly rocket science.
If you use Gspot it will tell you precisely what codecs you need to play the file.

VLC player will play basically any file, including incomplete and corrupted ones, i just do not like its control panel, i use zoom player and installed the CCCP just run the insurgent prior to installing. i rarely ever get a file that i cannot play with that codec pack on zoom, and when i occasionally do, VLC will play it.

soulseek is incredible for music. usually organized as full albums, properly labeled, usually ripped at higher bitrate than stuff elsewhere, no junk files or viruses. i don't know what i did before it. i could never use limewire again.
for everything else, i use bit torrent.
soon i'm going to see what this usenet is about.

Torrents are definitely the way to go. Think of it as the manual transmission of file sharing.

avoid limewire and kazaa. for real. it's not 2001 anymore.
decent p2p:
soulseek (nicotine on linux and soulseeX on mac) emule (amule on linux and mac) bittorrent (oink and demonoid are great trackers) dc++ (get invited to a private hub and you'll get everything you need)
oh, and, all you nicotine users (all 3 of you), you should update to nicotine+ - way more stable than previous versions: http://thegraveyard.org/daelstorm/nicotine-patch.php

You just open the file using Gspot and it tells you exactly what codecs you need to play the file...
If you can't work out how to open a file I suggest taking a basic course in computers

spyware? no.
just be careful of what you download. I recommend blocking files that end with the extensions of .exe, .dll, .zip, .bat, etc. soulseek windows client should ban these by default. and you should "allow extensions" on windows always (I dont know why microsoft defaults with hiding extensions - that is just retarded - but it is microsoft).

no adware.
be sure your soulseek client is banning those extensions and you'll be fine.
