    Don't bother with gnutella clients anymore, too many RIAA plants and viruses on it. I use soulseek for music, bittorrent for everything else :D

    Yea I use bit torrent for almost everything except when I just want 1 song instead of a whole album. Then I use limewire. But I've never tried that other one...frostwire? I think limewire is good enough. I barely use it anyhow. :p

    Or an old song too. Sometimes it's hard to find old stuff on torrents! But sometimes I lose them on my HD or mp3 player for some reason and need to download them again.

    LimeWire is no good anymore. It's filled with bogus files.
    Torrents are good for games.
    I use google to find Music on rapidshare megaupload and all those other upload websites.
    For movies I use Newsgroups or Mirc.

    I tried using Newsgroups and mIRC but I still don't know how to use them. I even had a friend come over and show me but I still don't get it. I never thought about using google to look for songs on mega upload but that's a good idea! +rep for you!

    the lengths the pirates like us will go to, to beat it to the man and refuse to pay.

    Yo-ho yo-ho a pirate's life for me.

    Seriously, they try to shut down all of these, and it's gotten to the point where limewire has been sued or almost, yet it's not going anywhere, it's like no one really cares anymore. :) But if they do 10 more will sprout up.

    I use Limewire for pretty much everything... Its just a matter of scanning before you open files. Either that or rip them apart with a program and check the programming if its an executable. Almost all of the songs on my ipod were downloaded from limewire :twisted:

    Yeah I usually use Limewire for music and torrents for movies and games...

    You just gotta scan the things from limewiere before you open the rar file.

    PS - To get limewire pro free...search for it in limewire basic. Be sure to scan the file after downloading.

    You can also use torrents to get pro.
    No linkage though, against the rules.

    How come Limewire never got fully sued or whatever? I don't really see the difference between Limewire and the old Napster except that Limewire seems to offer more stuff. But Napster was taken down, why not Limewire?
