Sorry I know there would be a thread about this but the search bar is broken...

I used to have Kazaa Lite but now that I re-installed it it never connects. What other programs are good and dont fuck up your computer with spy-ware and virus'. Any help would be appreciated.

old version of limewire is safe... new one has mass spyware. if you download the limewire pro off a hack you can be free of infection

yea it becomes inevitable. I have used ares in the past not for long but it worked fine had a good selection.

If u use it unshare all your files though!!

If you want safe but slow downloads get Shareaza. I haven't found a bad song yet. And no bugs too. But downloading is so slow.

yep pretty much, download http://www.bitcomet.com/

then go to (just one of many sites) www.mininova.org to download stuff.

also, for rare stuff, www.slsknet.org is really good.

I downloaded Limewire and then just downloaded Limewire PRO off of Limewire. Turbocharged downloads and no adware or spyware.
