iMesh...no need for Wrapster (Score 1)

There is a program called iMesh (www.imesh.com) that does basically the same thing except that you use their web interface to do the search and their software comes up when you want to download something. They didn't appear to have a linux version last time I checked.

My college banned napster a few months ago and now they have a bigger problem because more then 3300 students are using this iMesh thing to transfer files. The network admins here didn't say that they were going to ban it as well but did urge students to minimize its use. I took that to mean that they either couldn't or didn't know how to ban it.

This could make a good case for allowing people to use napster because it uses a central cluster of servers and the bandwidth to those servers can be controlled.
