QUOTE(jcp @ Jun 19 2009, 04:13 PM)  lol. Sure ill look for something else. My mom has a thing against human heads on animal bodies. you likey my new one? I took that. And I got to play with the (not) so little guy. =) Thanks, Joseph. Much better. haha I don't really download much these days for a number of reasons, mostly I'm chicken shit. Then again, I don't like much in the way of readily available torrents that I can't get for super cheap on eMusic. |

If they were to fine me for all the crap I've downloaded illegally, it would be probably be over half a million dollars. Any enterprise software on my computer is pirated.
Digital distribution, nobody loses any money. |

QUOTE(jcp @ Jun 19 2009, 03:59 PM) I think it would help. Obama wanted to give money to companies, which would include adobe, and Microsoft! But there are so many people that illegally download photoshop, and Microsoft word, and windows xp, and if they had bought those products then those companies would have much more money, therefore lowering there prices, and making the economy stronger in those areas. it would take a hell of a lot more than buying microsoft word and adobe photoshop to stimulate the economy. |

For every instance of something on Limewire, there are a thousand on Bittorrent. |

I prefer to only download files with comments that dont say virus virus! or files that have lots of seeder. I have use bittorrent for a lot of stuff and never gotten a virus. I think I may have downloaded one file that was infected but my anti virus caught it. Its all about common sense. |

If it's an archive or executable, I only download it with 50+ seeders. If it's just a single file, I'll usually download it with as low as 7 seeders. |

Archive being rar, or zip?
I have never had to download a exe. I only download files that I feel I have the right too. No programs, music, or movies. |

RAR, ZIP, ISO, TGZ, etc. If it's from a legitimate source like Red Hat or something, I'll go for it if I have any more than two seeders. |

I was just wondering, how do you "scan" files? i have norton, is that a good enough virus program? &will i be able to scan with it? |

And it is lighter then the rest of them. Norton sucks. I just know that in avg, you can right click a file or folder and click scan with avg. |
