so i got my hard drive wiped the other day becasue my sister thought it would be a good idea to click a pop up that said "you have 65 infections, download antivirus 2009 to fix this"

so any way, i used limewire before, but i hear that frost wire is better, which do you say is the best?

if you want one of those, get frostwire. It is the exact same thing as limewire, just faster and other colors. And the desktop icon looks better!

frostwire. free and equivalent to limewire pro.
watch what you download and its fine. look at the size of files, and if they dont seem right, dont click it.

I remember a thread a little while ago where you could use a program to connect to other peoples itunes. That would work if you have an Ipod.

Out of those two Frostwire beats Limewire. They are basically the same but Frostwire is faster. I use Frostwire only when I want to download specific songs. The rest of the time I use Vuze to download torrents. Its convinient if you want a whole album and I use it for movies too.

Frostwire is limewire but better... youll get a bit of spyware but nothing a weekly scan cant deal with... its good for downloading a few songs every now and then...


torrent if you need albums and whatnot though.

Frostwire is better.

But to the people who say fuck both, use torrents. Torrents and the Gnutella network (what frostwire/limewire/kazaa run on) compliment each other. You use torrents for full albums and you use google/gnutella to get single tracks for when you don't want the whole album.
