I use Kiwi Alpha and I haven't gotten any spyware or viruses. And I always find what I'm looking for.

You'd have to make sure that IPod supports the fileformat that you're trying to put on it, otherwise it won't work. I believe that IPod's don't work with WMA and WAV but don't quote me on that. I know for sure it doesn't work with WMA since that's Window's format but not sure about WAV.

iTunes auto-converts your wmas into .mp3 during transfer to the ipod.

I dislike all p2p programs exept a few. They put spyware and viruses on your computer. Viruses are bad... really bad... LOL... some can give you e-mails talking about nasty stuff.

The only p2p services I would ever use are shareaza and eXeem. eXeem however will not be released sinced suprnova recently went done. But if the team is still working on it it should be one of the better p2p programs.

You have to know how to configure your client to make it run well with your computer, if you have closed ports it will also affect you downloads heavily. Download speeds/rate could hinge on one small factor from computer to computer.

Almost every p2p program can get you a virus. It not 100% safe.
But usually when u DL music 95% of the time, u can't get a virus so it safe dling from kazaa lite. I used WINMX theses days.

I use limewire strictly for music, and I have never had a problem with the gnutella network.

Its a free download, just click a google.

Suggested DLing program: Bittorrent. Doesn't make you dl a desktop program. DSL is a preferrable connection. And you just get raw .mp3's and data.
