I personally dont use any p2p s/w. coz of several reasons...

But if I have to recommend, it wud b Kazaa & limewire. Dont go for
warez p2p as many of my frndz ended up downloading spywares,

Mouse Gesture (for firefox):

Allows you to execute common commands (like page forward/backward, close tab, new tab) by mouse gestures drawn over the current webpage, without reaching for the toolbar or the keyboard.

You can also use click-only "rocker" gestures which are even faster than drawn gestures.
