Limewire

Was using limewire on old pc but it caused huge problems and still have not managed to get rid of it. Have a new Dell now and kids are hassling me for someway of getting music. Does anyone know of or use a better p2p network for music - preferrably one that does not have all that adware crap attached to it.

Re: Limewire

Patrick I asked the same question a while back:



I tried Limewire, that some swear by but didn't get on well with it. I now use Morpheus and get all what I want without the add ons etc.

But I'm a miserable git as soon as I have what I want I place somewhere else so no one can download from me. ;)

Re: Limewire

Thanks for the link and info Baz - tried Morpheus to but it also started doing funny things, perhaps it will work better on new PC which has not been corrupted yet by idiot kids and their idiot mates on MSN.(do I sound grumpy) As for you being miserable - I've never seen you miserable - well apart from the time you got the hump with that bloke who was dancing like a twat at Trojans.

That other site looks interestin , I 'll check it out too.

Re: Limewire

You could try Rapidshare.de. It's about 23euros per three months. It is safe as far as viruses but there are a few section that you may not like. The XXX ones for instance.
Once you have paid you can go to rapidshared.org and browse for any music you want.

All those like limewire, Kazaar the idiots get there and put out all manner of nasties

Re: Limewire

one could use bearshare. it's like the others as it bungs in a load of other stuff that runs in the background. I got it on a gash laptop and i stripped out the "Share" stuff that runs. You got to do some registry editing as well. What a palaver.

If anyone has this running, have a look at "processes" in the task manager and you will see just how much resources it uses.
Assuming it's XP it running on.

Re: Limewire

beware there is a version of limewire on net that contains a trojen virus

this ones called dropper trojen and will infect your anti virus,only way to get rid is to delete anti virus and re install and then do full system scan,i know i got it thanks to a download from a legit site so stuff limewire wont use again ,i didnt even get chance to check the file,as soon as came onto pc in a rar file it infected my pc so beware
