what do you use for downloading?
 

Aside from torrents.

Just got a brand spankin new computer and don't trust limewire, etc... what's good? (defining good: low on the viruses high on quantity of content)

lrn2torrent

torrents ftw.

torrents are good but not if theres just one or two songs I want...

why not?

torrents?

lies. I can pick/choose what songs I want. n00b

Tru. you can get single songs fyi.

yeah but thats more annoying haha

when the album list comes up just look uncheck which songs you dont want... but for ****s and gigs sake, i like to use limewire pro, havent had a problem ever and ive been using it since it joined the internets

utorrent and btjunkie.com for torrents, ares for single songs...both while using peerguardian

mIRC

torrent ftw and yes you can choose which files you want before DLing. Of course, this is all hearsay and in no way have I done this personally.

torrents are legal. it's the contents which may or not be legal

youtube downloader?

+1 :nod:

100% correct.

Frostwire + Peerguardian

utorrent with peerguardian

I've never had a problem but I don't think it protects much or at all against viruses.

what is this peerguardian you all speak of?

peerguardian i believe is a program that runs with your torrent program to either block or scramble your ip address so its harded for the feds to find you

Google FTW!

buy a mac

peer guardian takes known spyware, education, government, etc. IP addresses and blocks your computer from connecting to them during P2P download sessions. basically, disallows big brother from watching what you download, because you'll have never downloaded anything straight from them.

... and I run into my first problem with vista...
