how easy is it to be caught downloading?

Guess ur talking about downloading illegal stuff, cause otherwise the server actually keeps a log of what u have downloaded so they would know.\nIf you are using rare software, encrypted software or servers that are only available to "members" its very hard to be caught.\nUsually if u share much, u have a greater chance of getting caught (they go for big fry). Otherwise no worries. :)\nFuck the MPIAA etc.

First of all, it is hard to totally protect stuff from geting downloaded. With that said, the easiest way to detour people from trying is a simple java script to disable the right click!

It's possible, but unlikely you would get into trouble from downloading some music from limewire.  It's true you can easily compromise security if you're not careful.  BUT, if you are good with how to control your firewall, spyware programs, and virus programs, you should be ok.  I mean life's too short to be worrying about "big brother" watching all the time.  Thanks for the good question.  Peace....

You have to download it.

If you have a paid account such as AOL or NetZero yes, its rather easy.  If you have a cable modem or DSL that you never turn off then its possible although very difficult.  If you have a dial-up or turn off your cable modem and have a free account it is completely untraceable.  I myself have created this yahoo account from prison and made up that I am named Pooptanic and live in India.  Nobody knows.  ; )

Well here is a tip dont download anything youre not sure about and if i were you i would download it and when it is finished downloading scan it with a Antivirus software which you should have because if you dont you are getting viruses right now so if the scan says there are no viruses go ahead and install it. But always remember if its to good to be true dont do it.

Assuming you are on a Windows XP Operating System...\n\nInsert the disk\nGo to "My Computer"\nOpen the drive that contains your disk by double-clicking\nRight-click the file\nSelect Send to>My Documents\nDone.\nRemove the disk\n\nAccess My Documents to get your downloaded file.

LimeWire, though make sure you have something protecting your computer.

I would NOT download it. That's for sure.\n\nJust use a good anti-virus and spyware remover from a company you trust, and remember to defragment your hard drive every once and a while. That's all you really need.

currently, I prefer Limewire..easy to use and plenty of search results that actually download. Additionally, I like how it tells you the connection type (ex: T1, T3, Modem, Cable etc..) of the files. It's also easy to resume a download if you chose to cancel it at any previous time.

The surest way is to not be on the Internet, not let anyone else use your computer and never insert discs from anyone who is not a totally trusted source.\n\nAs a practical matter, having a broadband router, the Windows firewall that comes with XP Service Pack 2, Windows Automatic Updates turned on, a good antivirus program, a couple decent anti-spyware programs (such as Spybot and Ad-Aware), and taking the attitude you will never, ever download any program ever from the Internet, should keep you plenty safe.

The website itself is not illegal, but some of the downloads are illegal. Such as Copywritten Movies, Music, and Software. Just stay wary of what your downloading, and be smart. :-D

If you have an up to date virus checker and a firewall you will be safe.  You may want to avoid dodgy websites like ones which offer free downloads of expensive software, music or porn.

Be very careful of downloading any software from a P2P website as most carry some kind of virus. Is it really worth saving 30 dollars to take that kind of a chance? Been there done that learned my lesson!
