Hey,

Iv'e heard that Limewire has been sued, if this is correct will you have to unistall Limewire if you have it on your computer, or would it still be okay to use it?

    Limewire is shite any way. Take a look at www.frostwire.com - it's Limewire but better.

    I use those to download games, but not music, it's too complicated for me i think.

    I'll check out frostwire, thank you.

    Torrent? Complicated for music? The only difference is you download whole albums at once instead of one song...

    Christ, its better! Just do artist search... find an album... download away.

    I like limewire but then I use it on a Mac which means I don't get all the spyware that it usually comes with.

    Torrent is good, but sometimes I don't want to download the whole fucking album.

    Oh okay

    So what is a decent site for torrents?

    Do you just find the torrent for the album name and then open it in azureus and away you go?

    Then after it has downloaded will it just be in your recieved files ready to put onto a disc?

    You can so tell i'm female :blush:

    ETA: I figured it out myself, i'm impressed.

    Don't ask for torrent sites here.

    Discussing technologies for downloading is fine.

    Why aren't you allowed to ask, if you don't mind me asking?

    Actually, what we don't allow is actually sharing around individual torrent files, or direct links to copyrighted material - whereas torrent sites could contain legal material - should have made that clearier to Saeed.

    Commonly used torrent sites would be mininova.org and the pirate bay, please be careful on all torrent sites though, don't go clicking banners and make sure you've got a pop-up blocker.
