Use this free p2p file sharing software.  It's called Ares and you can download it from http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/  I've been using it for a while now and downloads fast without viruses.  Also it has a nice user interface.  Don't use limewire.  It's complicated and I've encountered viruses before.

As long as you have decent virus protection, you should have no problem. It might occasionally find a virus, but if it does, it will cancel the download. I've used it thousands of times and only found about 3 viruses. A lot of people say limewire is full of viruses, but I don't have any problems with it.

No don't use Limewire unless you want a million viruses on your computer. Just go to YouTube or YahooMusic.

You probably got scammed. Limewire is completely free, and you shouldn't have to pay for it (unless you have the Pro version).

Limewire's Legality:\n\nLimewire and other file sharing software is legal. Using it to upload or download copyright protected media - music, videos, images, software - without the copyright holder's consent is illegal because it is theft. \n\nHere are more opinions and tips: \n\n\nLimewire says its legal because technically its just a "file sharing" service and it is not held responsible for the files that are downloaded onto the system. Only the users are responsible. That's why when you download songs from Limewire, it's legal for them, but NOT for you. \n\nIf you are not paying some sort of fee to download, it is illegal. \n\nDon't be fooled by the fee you pay to use the pro version of Limewire. The artists of the songs you download don't get a penny of that! ("LimeWire offers two versions of the software: LimeWire Basic which is free of charge; the other is LimeWire PRO which costs a small fee, features faster download speeds and better search results, including up to 6 months of free updates and customer support via email.") \n\nEven if you download a coyrighted song for your own personal use, it's still illegal. Perhaps one could skate around the issue if they already own a legal copy on a CD, but then why download it if that's the case. Any fees paid to Limewire are for purchasing the software and that's it. \n\nLime Wire is not illegal software. All it is is file sharring. However many people abuse this by sharing songs without the copyright. For example if you have produced a song, then share it on Limewire, anyone else can legaly have it for free. But when you haven't made it, but an artist has, who has copyright on that song (which they all do) downloading that song without permission from the producer, it is totaly illegal. \n\nBasically, yes, downloadig music from any free service is probably illegal. You may be paying Limewire for the software, but that's just for the software, so the money goes to Limewire, you are not paying for the song. To be safe, do not download music for free. If it's free, nobody has paid the artist. \n\nDownloading songs and other copyrighted material is illegal, but if you wanted to share a music file of you singing or playing an instrument, then that is perfectly legal. \n\nLIMEWIRE IS ILLEGAL! Although with Limewire you will probably never get caught, if you even bring your computer in for a repair and a worker sees the program or any music you downloaded from Limewire, he is ordered BY LAW to tell his boss, and you will get a fine (I had to pay like 200 dollars.) It's not pretty. Although we all want Limewire to be legal, it isn't. \n\nThe Limewire software itself is not illegal - that is why the site is still up and why you can still download it. However - if you donwload a song from the program and you do not pay copyright on it then that is illegal. Songs from the 1950's or before are legal to download because their copyright has expired. Anything from after that is illegal to download. However - you are all going to do it anyway so this just makes you aware! \n\nDownloading songs on limewire is illegal and always has been. However, as for the legality of the program itself, its confusing. The program is legal, but I believe I read somewhere that the supreme court recently ruled that file sharing services can be held accountable for sharing music. \n\nIs Limewire illegal? No It is not. It CAN'T leagally be held accountable for what it's users do. Let's put it like this. A major virus takes out the whole internet. But when they trace the source, it leads to runescape servers for example. Runescape is an online game that gives its users access to its servers, kind of like limewire. Now are the people owning runescape responsible? Nope, but its users ARE. Same thing with limewire. My advice to you, do not use it to access "free" music, or "free" programs...images...and so o

I don't understand why everyone discredits LimeWire - it works perfectly if you know how to use it - I have never caught any malware from it because I understand how to work it and how to avoid malware.

What people do with Limewire is distribute music files to everyone who wants them.  This is piracy of copyrighted property (the songs).

I love limewire, it's one of the best & my favorite programs for downloading music. Those are types of file sharing networks that you & others are connected to as you share your mp3 etc. A gnutella network I believe is the term...Do you know about browsing host?
