Limewire

[kojak]

Can you still download files from Limewire....cause I cant. Not been on for about a year.

[jamoor]

noone uses limewire, everyone has moved to newsgroups.

[PhantomHumper]

More than likely, you will have an older version of the software and they don't really care about previous versions.

[Brian Fantana]

you need to get the latest version. uninstall your old one and go to limewire.com to get the new one.

still works for me!

[Distant]

Works for me, though most of the files seem to be infected with trojans these days.

below avg pc user - limewire
avg pc user - torrents
above avg pc user - newzgroups

[caiss4]

Don't go there. Just spent most of the weekend cleaning crap off my kids' PC most of which was courtesy of Limewire.

[kojak]

Think i'll not bother with it then. As for Newsgroups. Where do I find these.

[CyprusCraig]

The majority of Newsgroups are Invitation only.

I used Newzbin for mine

www.newzbin.com

The you will need a Usenet server.

www.newshosting.com

Then this

www.newsleecher.com

Then you have to set it up to work with each other...

Good luck

Cheers.

torrents work ok, newsgroups sometimes have the nice effect of missing parts which take a while to get, depends who supplies the news services, some are good and some are not

limewire and the like is what kids like and suspect most of the files are keyloggers, trojans and viri infected pap

try that on any decent torrent site and the torrent gets flagged as such

[Scraggles]

without tyring to get this thread locked,

http://torrentfreak.com/get-into-200-private-bitto... is a good pointer and a rather useful site to look at in general

already in a private site, but use public ones now and then

Personally I have had very few, less than 1% of problems with the missing parts, as you can rebuild them using pars.

Torrent sites are a waste of time as you need to upload as well.

[Silverbullet767]

for torrents, use utorrent, and find torrents with mininova.

[asbo]

also piratebay.org is a good site. You need to download something like bitcommet also.

[okgo]

Never had a problem with limewire in my 8 years of using it to download odd tracks here and there.

[Invisible man]

I use soulseek which seems to find stuff that limewire cant

For sharing music Soulseek has no peer that I have found. Absolutely fantastic (so I have heard, allegedly)

LOL, absolute rubbish.

Usenet has been around for years, before all the p2p crap.
