I don't actually know if thats the proper term for it, but i was wondering if anybody had an recommendations. I used Kazaa for a while when it was out but it caused all sorts of problems with my computer so i got rid of it. Is Limewire any good? Mainly looking to download music, but with some other crap thrown in as well no doubt.

Any suggestions or advice much appreciated

As a footnote, i'm not really a computer whiz so no complicated stuff or ideas as i won't have a clue what you're on about!

have you thopught about newsgroups, costs a small amount of cash thought but quicker.

Depends what sort of stuff you are after really. Newsgroups are fine but stuff is pretty much there and gone in a few days or maybe a few weeks at most.

Emule (Google for emule-project) has the largest archive of stuff but is slowest. Systems that use the bit-torrent protocol tend to be between Emule and Usenet (newsgroups) in terms of speed and 'back-catalogue'. The FAQ at mininova.org should tell you all you need to know about torrents. Obviously pay special attention to the question of legality!

Sorry lads, forgot i put this here! Thanks for the info, not quite what i was after though, mainly because i haven't got a clue what you're on about

Was more wondering if it would be worth my while downloading limewire, or is it a bit crap and not worth the effort

Cheers
