With Limewire you really gotta be smarter about what you click on. Tons of viruses. | |

i've had limewire for almost a year and i've never had problems with it...it must be because of the files you're downloading, because limewire itself is virus-/spyware-free. | |

it's easy to tell the decoys from the legit files though...i get mostly songs from limewire, i don't bother with downloading programs from there. | |

thanks u guys..that stuff makes me nervous...i had to reinstall all my software and the operating system after messing around with file sharing....  Im so tempted to go for it again...might be cheaper and easier to just buy an old computer just for downloads ??? if it gets screwed up..just reinsatall everything every couple o weeks ??? | |

[Edited 12/29/05 13:15pm] yeah! I downloaded something dodgy off limewire which fucked my system up and was shitting myself, but managed to restore it pretty easily, I'm much more careful what I click on to download now..whew!! | |

there are better p2p's out there...
I'm on a prgram that pretty much has the best you can get. Most of the people I talk with on there have stuff directly from bit torrent.. way ahead of the rest.. | |

With songs I've been fine so far, I haven't noticed or sen anything unusual. I've tried to get some programs but they were stopped midway with a warning, therfore I deleted it. It should have a virus detection system in it now which hopefully prevents them from getting through, check for the newer version. This post has been modified from its original thought. It has been formatted to fit into the space and run in the time allotted. |

 Ive had it for a year & no problems yet,,,how do you know which downloads are "bad"?  | |

Try and get LimeWire Pro if you can. It filters out a lot more of the "fake files" , i.e when you download a song, try to open it and it's actually a virus. I use LW Pro and have no problems. |

That I agree with. I definitely have to be cautious whenever I use Limewire. Ooh, little darlin' if you're

I always get a warning from Limewire that the file that I'm attempting to download is corrupted and do I want to continue the download. I'm using a Mac and I've never had a big problem with Limewire. I did download a bit torrent fileshare yesterday and my mac went haywire later that night when I turned it on. Had to go through tech support - an almost hour long phone call - to get it running again...Never had a problem with my mac - a powermac G5 - before...

I love LimeWire. I can get a song in like 4 minutes and shit. And it'll tell me if I'm downloading a corrupt file and ask me if i want to continue or trash it. I do miss kazaa though. i got a SHIT-LOAD of boots from there. If I typed in "Prince" in the search, and left it over night, the next morning there were TONS of boots on there. I'm liking bit-torrent too. I got a lot of hard to find sentai on there. One of Dansa's org hornies
