Just wondering what is the hot new music downloading site I need to know about?

My current choice just stopped working and I need my music fix.

I know of blubster but it has alot of popups (i think) what are some others?????

I didnt even think Limewire was around any more.
I'll try that.

Be careful which version of limewire you use, some of them have spyware in them.

Limewire is awsome, I was able to download a list of 15 songs I was never able to find on Winmx, and they download fast!

Whats spyware?

I tried bittorrent and found it pretty much useless for finding individual songs and it was actualy a pain in the you know what to use.

I don't remember the version off the top of my head. Just run a scan with adaware and it should clean it up.

given you use a friendly client, you can tell it what files from the torrent you want to download, incase you only want one or two files.

I found bittorrent rough until I figured out how to use it to most of it's potential.

I find with kazaalite, etc. you get a lot of bogus files that aren't even 192kbps 90% of the time.. :confused:

KrazyKuch 10-24-2005 01:20 AM

I use limewire works awesome!!!

Joe Reefer 10-24-2005 02:21 AM

I use limewire.

Chad 10-24-2005 02:24 AM

decided to not bother with those sites any more and now just buy the songs on Itunes.

Which is not always good, since there are a lot of songs that are not available. :cry:

I........6th limewire or whatever it is, lol.

Take care,

I use mIRC ... it's good for downloading full albums. A bit complicated to use at first, but once you get the hang of it it's the best of the best. Full albums can be downloaded right away, and (usually) always 100kbs + speeds .

For individual songs I use limewire as well. Limewire, Kazaa, all the p2p are crap to use.. too easy to get infected with viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware.. you name it. You're taking a risk using any of these programs.. or should I say a higher risk.

Well atfter having Limewire on my computer for about a week, I get a mysterious computer problem.
I start up like normal, comp seems to boot up then displays the "It is now safe to turn off your computer" banner and off it goes.

I have no idea if this is actually related to Limewire at all but seems to coincedental to me. I believe this must be a virus, if it is it slipped through the AVG virus scan I have.

In a hurry to fix this problem and also in desperate need of an upgrade I picked up a new computer on Sunday.

Does any one have any suggestions on how to ensure this never happens again? Remembering that I am kinda computer illiterate and I need things spelled out to me.

I want to keep this computer running good. Thanks.

If you are willing to spend a few cents per song, then you should visit http://www.allofmp3.com

Agreed! :razz:

outtafocus 11-02-2005 11:19 PM

whats P2P?
person to person?

Invigor 11-03-2005 12:40 AM

"peer to peer" to be exact, but means the same thing.

predator 11-11-2005 04:43 PM

I use torrentspy.com. Works great, you'll have to install Bitlord (link is on the site). Bitlord allows you to select individual songs on the album. For the most part it is safe, there are people who will post if the file is something other than what it's labeled as.

scuglass 11-13-2005 12:12 AM

invigor what torrent sites do u use i have been using torrent spy but all the cds i try to dl arent on there im loooking for sites with alot of metal and punk(inflames, scarykids scaring kids, thrice, ect)

addam4208283 11-13-2005 01:45 AM

my bro and I use bearshare, I think that we had to pay like $40 for the year which I think is cheap compared to others and also I have had the least amount of probs with this one compared to others that I have used in the past.
