I still use piece of shit kazaa. except I don't really cause it's a piece of shit, and I mostly just trade music with friends and get songs by recommendation.
use bit commet to download things, it is faster, and takes up less rescources then anything else, and its not made with java so it doesnt suck, unlike azurus:
as for download sites, torrentspy.com is good, but i like www.demonoid.com a bit more. although you do have to register there, but thats not hard at all.
