I do use BitTorrent, but it's never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.

For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.

I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?

soulseek, fopnu, emule, dc++. For old/rare content, emule is the best.

Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.
