Limewire?

Post by island_hopper »

I just downloaded it ans was wondering if any of you have used it for file sharing? Your experiences? It seems to be good so far.....

Any others out there you'd recommend?

Thanks! :D

i've had it on my computer for about a year and haven't had problems. just be sure to run adaware,macafee etc. more often because of the spyware etc. the only bummer, not many buffett songs :( otherwise its pretty good
breathe in, breathe out, move on

I have used Limewire for a while as well. My entire Buffett collection (minus the concerts) isfrom Limewire. Spyware is an issue but the Microsoft Anti-Spyware software seems to work pretty well. I dont' have any real complaints about it.

I was noticing that! :-? Thanks all! I figured with this bunch I'd get some quick answers! :D :D I'll be sure to run those programs more often....

Can't you upload your music into it? Maybe we should start beefing up the library with Buffett.... :wench:

I put mine on this computer about 3-4 years ago from some European website. I tried to find a download for a friend a little while ago and couldn't find a link for the free version with no spyware.

Thing is you're going to get that from almost any site you visit...

I have http://www.ccleaner.com/ and it does a great job...then I run Spybot and it doesn't find any issues. I also run a registry cleaner every now and then, have the Microsoft Antispyware as well as Zonealarm.

I like my PC lean on junk...
