I have completely abandoned the whole idea of individual downloads to obtain a complete album. Downloading albums in zip or rar format have been working well for me. The files are all ripped and encoded from the same source so you get less variation in quality. I typically stick with the edonkey network using emuleplus as the client. The files are 90+% good quality. Also alot of good music can be found on Direct Connect but typically the hubs have insane limits for required shares but the file quality is great.
If it is just a single track here and there I stick with WinMX or opennap. Soulseek is also a good place to look.

From my experiences Fasttrack/Imesh whatever flavor is a rubbish pile of crap files and fakes that isn't worth the bandwidth.
