Default so which is the p2p program of choice?

Paying great heed to what my peers have posted here, I have duly gotten rid of KaZaa and Grokster, and purged my system of all the nasties therein embedded by the wicked BDE witch. So now I am left with Blubster and WinMX, and a whole lot of patience- testing queueing, and downloads which would not even qualify on the last row of the grid in a formula 1 snail GP.
Do I mean slow? Well, yes, if you call 0.08KB/Sec. slow. That goes for both progs., at all different times of the day. I'm still on dial-up connex, but I used to get much better downloads than this.
My ISP dishes out internet in 4hour blocks, and no matter what's happening on my puter, on the stroke of the fourth hour, its whammo, and up comes the dialog box "your connection to ... has been broken". This weekend, I tried, almost continuously, to download (one at a time) two songs. Neither download completed within the 4 hour block!
My question, then, is this. What is the most likely p2p program to give me some complete downloads? Is there a "safe" one?
(Using Win98SE, 384MB RAM, Zone Alarm, and oh, yes, 800MHz cpu)
