If you really know something than you know it is better to not say anything about it. And though there's nothing wrong with naming a p2p program, generally this forum is against the distribution of illegal, copyrighted material, and would like your cooperation to not help the spreading of this illegal material by promoting other p2p programs.
If dc works for you, than stay with it, before legal authorities will come and chase after those networks and shut them down!
In the mean time you're doing book authors a favor, by allowing some people to buy their books.

That's about as ridiculous an ask as I've ever heard. All p2p programmes have legitimate purposes, there isn't a one out there that can't and isn't used for distribution of legal IP. The sharing of copyrighted material is only one facet of p2p (a big one, I'll grant you) but still not exclusive.
You may as well ask people not to mention 'Google' which plays as big a part in the indexing and making available of copyrighted works. While we're at it, nobody should mention 'Youtube' either. Have a look in the "What are you listening to right now" thread and you'll se a vast majority of the posted "Youtube" videos are infringing Intellectual Property rights on some level.
Bittorrent, Newsgroups, DC++, Rapidshare, Megaupload, Emule, Soulseek, even Limewire have been and will continue to be used to distribute legal IP from non-industry affiliated creators.
