Lime Wire

[plug]

Anyone heard of this file sharing website, mate at work was telling me about it, just wondering if anyone on here uses it?
Is it any good?

[killer2005]

Yep, its fairly good.

I used it for about 2 years, then stopped for legal reasons as there has been a real clampdown recently. I don't actually know of any legal purpose of the site!

Just google it
if you sign up for free use

answer 'NO'
when it asks the obvoius legal question
else it just goes no further

I use it all the time,
some die-hards on here (beattles fans) say its evil incarnate but I think its good



so there

I used it for around a year up until a month or so ago. It always worked fine for me, and was comprehensive in content. However it slowed my computer down a lot, and eventually I discovered it was actually piggy-backing compressed porn files onto my computer...

...40gig of the stuff. I won't use it anymore.

Haven't found anything that works as efficiently as it did though.

FrostWire.

LimeWire without the associated sde.

There are some legal uses of p2p distribution. I'm sure everyone is aware of the potential risks of using it to infringe copyright.

BitComet is by far the most friendly torrent client.

[Scraggles]

bit torrent is finding itself more and more banned from servers as it apparently ignores the private flag from private trackers and lets people leech these files freely

Great for game updates and the odd large demo
