I don't think discussing peer to peer applications is the best idea mate.

No, because the forums can get into trouble.

...and use torrents.

Limewire seems to be going downhill lately. More and more random rubbish getting into searches.

No. That's the internet in general.

On Youtube, I look up Family Guy and I get 50 personal blogs from morons who string-spam. I hope they poo their undies then eat it for breakfast, like Shooter McGavin.

Use a program called peer guardian - it protects your IP from certain users who are deemed to be unnecessary.

AU2PWR · 31-01-2007, 08:39 PM

I Used Napster in the Old Days , Now using eMule and Bit Torrent for all my 'Studying' Needs

kyro_02 · 31-01-2007, 10:09 PM

Actually it's like half the people saying peer guardian is the be all and end all from getting caught.. but the other half are saying it's rubbish. I'll say 'go with your heart' :P

I'm not really a downloader anymore .. my leeching ended after 12 months of 60-80gb p/month when tel$tra were 'implementing' a capping infrastructure.

gozza · 31-01-2007, 10:45 PM

expect your computer to die a slow and tedious death...even if you don't use it but have it installed youve opened the gateway to hell.......at the worst formatting won't even rid you HD of naties....some you just cant get rid of

uranium_death · 31-01-2007, 11:18 PM

To clear this forum of any wrongdoing...you can purchase music download cards at some supermarkets and discount retail stores. I believe they come in 10, 20, 50 and 100 dollar values. Purchasing these cards means you are supporting music legally.

You then use the credit gained from these cards to download the music you want.

kyro_02 · 31-01-2007, 11:44 PM

Yeah, but if people can get it for free, why would they want to pay; apart from supporting the artists. :P

SHHHHH! We're supposed to APPEAR to be law abiding you fool!

LTDHO · 31-01-2007, 11:49 PM

I haven't used Limewire in years.

It died off for me.

Oh well there are better ways to get music.

There is?

Ive used it for ages with no problems what so ever, if you are worried Ive just make a dummy folder with nothing in it, and thats what I share.

Yeah yeah its not in the spirit of the app.

jonk · 01-02-2007, 08:23 AM

Stuff file share progg's.

Never looked back since going with rapidshare & megaupload fully subbed.
