Any one use Limewire to download music? I was thinking about downloading it but don't really know much about it. I don't want to end up with a bunch of viruses either.
It's virus laden.
Look into bittorrent (sp?).

How much computer knowledge do you need for that? I have heard of it before but never really checked it out. Thanks [thumbsup]

I use limewire quite often. Here is a link to a torrent which gives you a FREE limewire 4.0 PRO.

But I prefer to use u torrent for my torrent downloads.
There are viruses out there, as one poster noted. I use the free version of avast antivirus - the limewire software will detect viruses, but avast always catches them first. PM if you have any problems.
Lol, he asked how difficult it is to use torrents and then you told him to use torrents to d/l limewire. [laugh]
Torrents have a potentially higher peer pool than limewire (more people to get stuff from) and also theoretically have a lower chance of you getting in trouble for d/l things you shouldn't. As with any peer to peer program you should be careful what you d/l and always have a good anti-virus program. Extra programs like peer guardian can help keep you from getting in trouble w/ [leo].
I used to use limewire back in the day and got tons of viruses from it.
i use soulseek, and think it's the proverbial cat's pajamas.
*shrugs*
Had to reformat a hard drive to get rid of the virus's that are attached to this program. No anti virus program I tried would clean it up.

4. when installed, click the green 'u' on your desktop to start the program
5. go to btmon.com - this is an index site. Type something you want into the search window - like 'James Bond'
6. click to download the movie you want..... doing so will install a tiny file on your computer, and your system will ask "do you want to open this with utorrent." click 'hell yeah', or equivalent.
