Now I know piracy isn't supported on here, but im just looking out for you guys...
Limewire succesfully downloaded 18.6 gb of porn zip files onto my comp, along with numerous other tracking keys and spyware.
When I tried deleting them, it wouldn't let me, and somehow rebooted my computer and fucked it up - it took everything off my desktop, and fucked around with the settings.
My friend reccomended me bearshare, you download the trial, and search for the full to download. Apparantly its the safest P2P...
Just thought I would let you know, if you use limewire, search your "downloads" or "shared" folder.
20 November 2005, 10:35 UTC#2
I use to use Limewire all the time, now I just use torrents. If I cant find just one song il just download the album, they download fast as fuck.
20 November 2005, 10:38 UTC#3
I have a NAT problem with my torrents.
20 November 2005, 10:44 UTC#4
I've never had anything like that happen to me. Limewire is the only P2P I ever use, I've been using it for a few years. Although...I never keep it installed on my comp. I just install it for when I wanna download some stuff..and then uninstall it when Im done.
20 November 2005, 10:45 UTC#5
hahahahaha ......don't use bearshare....I dunno who told you it was the safest but I know of four people in my area who were caught downloading songs by the police and they were all using bear share
20 November 2005, 10:45 UTC#6
Same, I might have downloaded a corrupt file or something....
EDIT: ha really? looks like you have gay cops, my ip is hidden anyways.
20 November 2005, 12:17 UTC#7
nah. Ive never had any spyware from LimeWire... There the only P2P client I trust.
Defo wont have been them.... Maybe you have some ports open or downloaded sme file.... did you download it from there site?
But yeah if you got a NAT problem try this torrent site www.utorrent.com its new to the scene but uses only 6kb of memory and is so small... since useing this I get 300KBS ad I used to only get 60+KBS.
The nat probs are solved with me now as far as I can see.

Same here im a torrent user now, and I do the same, just get the album if I want 1 track!
20 November 2005, 13:04 UTC#9
If you are using torrents try utorrent www.utorrent.com like I said... it really is thebest ive found since using azureus (Used since it was new)
20 November 2005, 13:42 UTC#10
use torrents or get edonkey
20 November 2005, 14:07 UTC#11
you probably got a virus.
20 November 2005, 14:34 UTC#12
I've never had problems with Limewire. It even warns if I'm about to download corrupted files or possible viruses
20 November 2005, 14:50 UTC#13
It's your own fault for downloading a zip folder, and one that's for porn!
^_^
I just download tv episodes and single track files off Limewire, WHILST using PeerGuardian...
20 November 2005, 15:50 UTC#14
I use it, download what I want, then delete the program after

Anyone I know?

Limewire sucks. Bearshare generally downloads everything I need. I mostly use Soulseek for songs. I'll check out Torrents and see if it is better.
20 November 2005, 17:23 UTC#17
I never got along with hearshare... With Limewire I found eveyrthing I needed and always 100% got my max speed out of it...
20 November 2005, 18:13 UTC#18
It's because you downloaded a bad porn file I think, I have LimeWire PRO I think it's the best out there.
20 November 2005, 21:01 UTC#19
Limewire fucked up my comp. I uninstalled it. and my comp dstopped working
21 November 2005, 00:45 UTC#20
I use Shareaza. it downloads with ease and there are tons of skins available for it. I've never used anything different and my computer is still good with no virus's.
21 November 2005, 01:00 UTC#21
on everything you download you have to watch the filesize, if it's ridiculously small for whatever you're downloading, look for another.
21 November 2005, 01:05 UTC#22
yeah man. Theres this one file that have billions of names... something lie 137.7KBS (Cant remember now) and it takes on whatever file your looking for.
Watch out for them. But I very much doubt its limewire.

I had that at first, then it told me to configure my firewall, so I did, and now it goes tripple the speed it use to go.
21 November 2005, 07:19 UTC#24
I like Limewire it finds everything I need. Those little files that have thousands of names do annoy me a lot though.

If you didn't know that, you deserve to have viruses. And lots of them.

I just downloaded TinXP which is XP stripped down to the boes (You can find it on isohunt.com or TPB) I have installed it on a old old computer and itsrunning faster then my own new computer.... But the main reason I have this now is to just downlaod music and movies... which I use utorrent for as it uses like no memory. Plus I use it for games now which I could not even do when I had windows 98.
