Limewire.
 
Who uses Limewire?It's free,and it's the alternative to Itunes...Except,10% of the time the song will not be the right song.:o:o:o:o:o:o

And full of viruses. Limewire is bad news, using it is a great way to hose Windows and get lots of fun Trojans. If you have Mac I don't know how it effects that but Mac doesn't have nearly as many viruses as Windows does.

Anyways I prefer use of torrents myself but I don't do that very often either. I only download stuff when I'm impatient, usually music. Sometimes a movie but that's usually when the video store doesn't have it or I can't get to one. I know I could download it off Itunes or whatever but they don't always have everything. I had Netflix for awhile but they had a poor selection of stream movies.

Not everything on LImewire is a Virus,just the programs like : Photoshop,Microsoft Word,Paint Shop,etc.

don't use limewire, it's a virus fest

Used Limewire several years ago. Then I learned of torrents and Limewire became obsolete to me.

I work on computers on the side, cleaning up spyware, viruses, etc... 99% of the time I am cleaning up the computer is because Limewire was installed... Just installing Limewire installs spyware and viruses...

Almost anything you download can if you're not cautious about it.

I'm on the torrent bandwagon myself.

WOW.I downloaded a song off LW,and guess what???????????????????!!!!!It said: "Downloading this is illegial,please go to this site instead,[Don't remember site].",instead of playing the music.

I only torrent things like TV shows I can't either find streaming somewhere, which is rare, or shows I can't buy on DVD. Where music is concerned, I just find iTunes to be the easiest and quickest way to get songs I want, when I want them.

My one big problem is that a lot of the stuff I listen to isn't on iTunes, and the CD's are always $25-$30, or more if I need to import, which is a lot for a CD. In those cases, usually involving weird Japanese Ska bands, I try and find torrents, but usually can't. That's when I rip songs from YouTube and the like.

I try my hardest not to resort to theft for things I want, but when they're not made available to you in any other way, it's really difficult to take the high-road.
