SS Silv Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Does anyone else use limewire to download music? Is it legit? Should I keep the filter to block copyrighted music on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMID8R SS Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Does anyone else use limewire to download music? Is it legit? Should I keep the filter to block copyrighted music on? It isn't legal if that is what you mean about legit. It works great but leave the filter on if you don't want to take the chance of getting pinched. the best way to be safe is to remove all the contents of the folder limewire saves downloaded information to. It is usually called saved or local, something like that, it's located in the Programs file under LimeWire. This is the folder that the snoops from RIAA are looking for, so get it all out of there. The true way to stay safe though is to pay a few bucks a month for a legal service. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brobradh77 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I have never had any problems with limewire like spyware,etc... but I have software for that so in my opinion Limewire is the best file sharing program I have found that is free.

NTMID8R SS Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I also use eMule, it's a bit larger site than LimeWire, but does have a bit more junk. Just use your filters and spyware protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silveradoclone07ss Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 i use one called bearshare. it free from freedownload.com. comes with a program that supports it called save now. but if you have filters it stops the program from running. its not a big deal just come up when you want to buy something showing other sites with cheaper prices. you can get the pro and pay for it but i will stick to free things.

TexaSS Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Torrents are the way to go. I can download full cd's in less than ten minutes usually. I use a program called uTorrent, and get the torrent links from piratebay.org, mininova, and torrenspy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porno Joe Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I used torrents as well. I think it is the best way to go, esp. if you want the full CD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nxtnlne Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 try EASYNEWS....check this link Forum disscussing the site. High jacked the quote from another forum. "Premium newservers like easynews.com, newscene, etc do not log downloads, thus there is no log of what you download or even what group you downloaded from. they track how much you downloaded and how many times you request a group (but not the group itself). If fact newscene.com has told me their software does not even allow them to log anything more they would have to rewrite to provide those features. Also they provide SSL if you want to encrypt the data tansfereded between you and them. They do keep complete logs on posters, but some only for a limited time Alot of ISPs do log more things some log what groups you entered, some even the article numbers you request, and burn these to CD. Downloading from usenet is one of the few areas where there is still some degree of privacy, as long as you pick a good premuim service" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
