Here's what to look for.

Can download more than just music files.

The file sharing network of the best P2P programs now offer you the ability to download all kinds of media including pdfs, images, documents, software programs and much more in addition to mp3s.

Huge user database

The bigger the user database, the more files on it. The programs tend to build on one another, and share networks in order to make the networks bigger and faster.

Speedy Downloads

Network size plays a part because the more people there are to download from, the faster you can download, but it also depends on how the program finds users to download from for you. Your download program should be able to keep the number of people you are downloading form high so you get the best download speed at all times.
