^cuz it sucks
(my computer all gets too slow when I open it since I downloaded like 250 songs on it)

and I know about the Limewire Pro that I can dl with LW but I'm searching for something else. Reliable, easy to use, no viruses and lots of songs.

i use bitlord as the torrent program, it has a built in search function but that's ok but you can always find torrents on other sites like pirate bay etc. and then just use bitlord as the downloader program, google torrents and u will find a bunch of sites to download from

I've been using Morpheus extensively for the past 8 months without any sort of drawbacks. I've heard some bad horror stories about Morpheus, but nothing bad (viruses) has happened yet and I've downloaded thousands of songs from it.

For big files though, I use bittorrent with Bitlord. That's how I get my free movies.

bearshare is safer than limewire, but with any program like that you can get viruses, if your dumb about downloading stuff. if you see a song you wanna download and its only 513,122 bytes, its probably a virus, jsut use your head, but i have never gotten anything bad from bearshare that norton didnt detected, and a friend of mine used limewire and downloaded a virus that detroyed his computer. easy way to never get a virus. get a mac

definitely. best for music without a doubt; good quality, can usualy find what you're looking for. torrents the way to go for other things

limewire blows though. it didn't used to, but now it is difficult to find anything, and there are countless irrelevant results that come up. Sketchy and lame.

or you could of just downloaded limewire and from limewire download limewire pro as a program which is why they screwed themselves by making a program like that
