alrighty. so i'm going boy band crazy right now and i'm really wanting to get n'sync, bsb, spice girls, etc. songs!!! i haven't used limewire before (i've been getting all my songs on different sites online), and i was wondering if it's a good idea to download it? i just bought a new computer and i don't want to screw it up.

just use bit torrent. it's safer in terms of not getting viruses. most of the torrent files comes with comments people leave behind, and they usually tell others not to download it if it's a fake file or not. limewire is so 2005 mang.

torrents are so slow... I use limwire for music and torrents for movies, programs etc, oo and torrents have more viruses than limewire just to let you know, but again your antivirus system can recognize pefectly normal files as viruses, like keygens :]

Well for torrents, depends on what you're downloading. If you're downloading pr0n or from some shady website, then that's pretty much the risk you'd be taking on yourself.


Nicki - we don't get "capped" or whatever it is. And well, from all the torrents that my bf and I have d/led, we haven't gotten a virus from any yet. But I know just from songs d/led form limewire, there was a virus that was d/led as well with the song -- well we didn't d/l the song, more like his brother did when we weren't home, lol. So really it depends on a case-by-case basis, I guess.

But I'm going to say this one last time: It's not even that difficult to find any song that you need want through DDLs (direct downloads), as long as you know where to look. And the speeds can be even faster as well.
