I haven’t downloaded an album in 3 years, but I always used Bittorrent.

i’ve always stuck to soulseek for my music downloads. about all limewire’s ever been good for is attempting to download a shitty cam copy of a new movie, having it take all day regardless of my connection, and getting Big Wet Asses Volume whatever instead.

Ive never used limewire, but i know that google is much easier and much faster for downloading albums, and there ftp not p2p so its way faster.

Ive been using limewire for about 4 years (though less often now) and have never gotten a virus from it. ever. i guess its just about knowing which files not to download before you actually do it, since some are displayed differently than others.

I don’t care about the downloading issue, but I do hate limewire and hypocritically bastards. Mostly, its a shitty product. I spend way too much time fixing issues created by limewire ranging from viruses to the infamous blue screen of death.

Also there are ways to control the files in p2p networking like that, but seeing as how cheap they as demonstrated by this article. Its rather complex and way more than they can ever hope to do with their product.

Although the story claims not to be be anti-downloading for fear of the wrath of the internet generation, it still brings up the issue. I think that over time silly articles like this will shift public opinion and eventually music will be taken seriously as a commodity.

Ok, I read the article and those Limewire people sound like they suck. But the biggest question I had was, “What kind of fairy ass hat takes a lap-top to a bar.” Seriously, though, what the fuck are you doing with a lap top in a bar? Isn’t the purpose of a bar to socialize with people and get drunker than snot? I guess maybe that fella had a raid planned with is WOW buddies.

I definatley got LW Pro from LW Lite… But they eventually won and gave my laptop the Blue Screen of Death. Bastards.

I’m going to download a pizza from Limewire just to spite them.

My favorite Limewire moment was when I downloaded the free version and every time I turned it on LW would harass me with an add to buy the “Pro” version for like $30 dollar or whatever the fuck it cost. Finally I got so pissed off at this add that I ran a search and downloaded Limewire Pro…. FROM LIMEWIRE. So I basically used LW to steal LW. Fucking morons.

Yes! “We just drilled out the lock of the front door of the electronics store. We can’t control who goes in through the door to steal the stereos.”

Hmmm, my computer hasn’t had a virus in a while, lemme fire up Limewire! Does anyone still use this POS?

That’s hilarious! I love how P2P places put software out but claim they don’t have control over what people share on it. These folks shoudl be in politics.
