Not that I'd ever advocate it ...

.... but if someone wanted to download, oh, say games and movies, where's the best place now a days ? (disclaimer, not that anyone ever should of course coz it's illegal )

I, er, someone I know has got Kazaa Lite but most of the movies are poor quality 700k jobbies, and I've {cough} he's never managed to download a game that actually works

Cool, thanks.
Um ... for nothing of course

[nevpugh308]

[nevpugh308]

Someone mentioned alt.binaries.cd.images .... what on earth is that ?!?

its probably a good idea to stay away from Kazza, for thousands of reasons.

Um. Why ?

Somebody I errrr know has just tried the imesh thingy, and it was FULL of bloody spyware.

Ah p***. Guess what I installed last night

Running S&D now ...

[nevpugh308]

Cripes !

So, if they can track Kazaa users easily enough, are ANY of the above filesharing programs secure, or could they trace you on any of them ? (I'm guessing they could, assuming they wanted to ...)

Btw, if anybody knows a way to remove New.net spyware, I'd like to tell my 'friend' how to, as each time he tries, he also loses his internet connection... (running cable though, it must screw something up software-wise...)

I just stopped iMesh from running at startup (so the new.net files weren't locked) then used Spybot S&D 1.2 (had to run it twice) and that seems to have cleared up the beastie ...
