I cant get my limewire to work.
Do any of you use limewire?if not do you use an alternative downloading programme?please let me know because it looks like ill have to start using something else

[GiRTh]

Don't use Limewire. It's pretty dodgy stuff.

[supernoodles!]

do you use another similar programme?

[GiRTh]

e-mule.

[Lauren]

If you insist on downloading illegally use BitTorrent, preferebly on a private tracker (nothing like torrentsearch or demonoid etc - as you can see, they've been in RIAA sights for a while).

I use limewire and its working fine for me :S maybe try uninstalling it then installing it again

[XxShortyxX]

I use it, it was working fine for me.

[Ann]

ive tried this but im giving it another go now

[Ann]

Matt my sister also loves itunes aswell

[supernoodles!]

nah i cant get it open its so frustrating it loads to 12% then just goes off

[Ann]

well if that wont work try either e-mule or itunes they are very good ones

[Hugo]

Do't use it it will eventually ruin your computer with viruses and is also highly illegal. An eleven year old's parents got find 50 thousand dollars the other week because she used it. It is vitually theft. You are taking tracks that others have maybe oaid fr of Itunes.

I use it, but only for songs I can't buy.
If I know I'll get the CD, I won't bother getting it.

Then again, my disc drive's currently broken so I've been relying on it, along with Converttube.com to rip audio off youtube, and Firebug to get songs off myspace =/

I'd suggest using Bearshare, or Kazaa, practically Limewire, just not as good.

You could also try µTorrent, which is complicated but REALLY safe, my friend uses it.

[supernoodles!]

ive got it working cfor the time being anyway!

[GiRTh]

I agree with all the people who say you should get rid of it.

I've a friend in the PC install business who is going to start charging extra fees for any PC that has been infected due to limewire.

[Hugo]

Why not try seekasong.com that's simple and easy and uo don't need to download any thing (apart from the song)

[supernoodles!]

okie doke-thanks

[Sarah.]

I rip songs from youtube. I don't trust Limewire=]

[Matt08]

If limewire is so highly illegial then it would have been closed down by now....

[Ann]

i agree with that too as ive got limewire but i never use it but my sister keeps on begging me to get either e-mule or itunes

Oh, it is highly illegal - stealing music is.

I buy CDs and download from iTunes.

I stopped using limewire about a week ago when I found a better place to download stuff from, and it doesn't carry viruses with it.

Share please?
xD

I use Limewire, like I said, on not-so-mainstream artists, or artists who's stuff isn't available to buy in the UK.
However I do try to rip from youtube/myspace to prevent viruses&stuff. xD

It's not that it's illegal, it's more that there are some dodgy shares on there. You may get your music, but you'll get a whole lot more.
