  1. So yeah. I use bit torrent for all my CD needs, but I want a program to download specific songs. It helps me explore my interests in music.

    It\'s also great for pornography.

    But anyways, I used to use Limewire, then all my files refuse to download and uninstalled it. Thats was a few months back. What is the best program now-a-days?
     
  2. Whatever you do, don\'t use LimeWire. My computer got fucked that way. It\'s full of viruses.

    Good luck
    Peace :smoking:
     
  3. Thats why you maintain an up-to-date anti-virus.
     
  4. I would have suggested Limewire... As R_M said, an updated Anti-Virus program should keep you safe, as should common sense, when using Limewire.
     
  5. If your wrong... well, we\'re going to play rochambeau and you won\'t get a turn this time.
     
  6. lmao, how the hell could we play that if I do not get a turn?

    And when using Limewire, pay attention to Bitrate and file size. You should be able to figure out which ones are bullshit.

    I used to use Kazaa, but damn did that become useless quick.
     
  7. I can\'t seem to find limewire lite anywhere.

    Help me! I\'m too drunk for this shit!
     
  8. I download stuff (music, movies, etc...) from Newsgroups using a program called Unison. I also occationally use bit torrent.
     
  9. I use Utorrent to dl movies and albums, www.torrentspy.com. And i use Limewire pro just to dl single songs just download it off torrentspy for free. I use kaspersky for all my virus protection needs.

    Oh yeah and LIMEWIRE PRO doesnt have any viruses so get that. Not the free one.

    Heres the torrent link for the most recent version. http://www.torrentspy.com/torrent/784377/LimeWire_4_12_3_PRO

    Also i\'ve never had any problems with Limewire, but i\'ve always used the pro version which you usually have to pay for.
     
  10. Well, there are other places to get Limewire... I suggest you check out This Site.

    EDIT: Bah, I need to become quicker.

    EDIT 2: I sent ya a PM, do you check them? :p
     
  11. Hey,

    I\'ve been using Limewire pro. I used to use that Kazaa bs back in the day before it broke my computer. Of course, it wouldve helped if I actually tried to protect it, heh. I\'ve never experienced any problems with Limewire, personally. But, I\'m actually using anti-virus these days. I\'ve heard about this \"torrent\" thing a lot, but really am clueless on it, sounds a bit confusing... or maybe its just me. Peace.
     
  12. I download everything using rapidshare links, megaupload links, sendspace, etc.

    I can\'t use Limewire [my school doesn\'t allow it].
     
  13. you can usually use Bit Torrent to download individual songs. if you have a client like uTorrent or Azureus when you download a torrent and you are prompted to select a place to save the files you can choose which files to download

    That way you can select one or two songs from a cd, just an alternative to other programs that no one on here seems to trust.

    Soul Seek is another program you could use, i haven\'t used it personally but a lot of my music oriented friends have used it and love it. so you could check that out if you wanted.
     
  14. Give bearshare a shot. It\'s a great program.

    You\'re gonna want the bearshare pro, just incase the basic has got some crazy spyware or something.

    If you want I can PM you a link to download the pro one.
     
  15. Kazaa lite I guess, I use limewire and love it. For the record I\'ve never bought a single album in my life. Funny right?
     
  16. If you really do like an artist you should buy their album, especially if they are independent or on a smaller label. Or at the very least, pay to go see them play live. gotta support the musicians some how.

    Now im definitely all about the file sharing, 130 gb of music says this (thats just what i have after cleaning out some of the stuff i thought was horrible) and i have an account at Oink which pretty much means i could download anything ever, but i still buy the albums of the stuff i really enjoy.

    just my opinion.
     
  17. i hate peer to peer, torrent sites, i download everything I get from newsgroups

    newzbin.com indexing service with nzb

    newshosting provider i use is giganews.com tried many and giga is the fastest, i get around 680-720kb/sec stable.
