I am thinkin about downloading Limewire? is it safe? or is it somewhat like the old KAZAA and does it bring your computer virus'?  All you know about it would be helpful...also if you have it is it possible to download songs to your computer so you can burn the to a CD?

I have personally used limewire . Its quite safe though having a firewall installed would be a better bet as it s P2P network and accessing someones computer and other files is not a remote possibility. With a firewall you can be safe.\n\nA hint I would like to give you to avoid viruses etc. is always pay close attention to the size of the file you are downloading. If your downloading a music file download one which is reasonably big and which has many multiple downloads.\n\nThere have been many instances when I have seareched for a file generally music and got only one result . A file thats 149.1 Kb in size. This is a VIRUS or crap Do not download these.\n\nThats all I can say, personally I am very happy with Limewire .

When I started using Limewire, it wouldn't ever find a connection. I was super frustrated and thought I tried everything as it turns out not only do you have to turn off Windows Firewall, but if you are using a internet providers that admisinisters it's own firewall and antivirus program, then you have to diasble that firewall as well. There are a lot and pros and cons of course of shutting down the firewalls.\n\nPro: you can use Limewire\nCon: almost everything you download will freely enter your pc with a bunch of tracking cookies and other horrible stuff undetected, because your firewall will be disabled.

I have seen several reports of users getting spyware installed along with limewire. While I can not verify that, I can comment I have never seen a computer with limewire installed that was not also full of spyware. And I remove a lot of spyware from computers (boring but it's a living).

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?

I like the way LimeWire currently runs (I'm running on a free version of LimeWire Pro myself =p) - but if they could upgrade it a little bit more - it sure would help with the filtering (I hate searching for something and then getting zip file results - I don't know what they are, but it's a shady looking file at 850kb; probably a virus).

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....

Well none.Nobody has as many results as Limewire,and limewire doesnt give you the virus the infected file you downloaded does. alot of the others only let you have the songs for 30 to 90 days then they protect them again so you cant play them until you buy them. Limewire doesnt do this BUT you have to be very careful. songs dont usually have viruses but can, programs do quite often , movies sometimes. When you download something from them you need to scan the file w/ your antivirus protection before you open it. they will tell you if you have one before it infects your pc.\nI use norton 2003. it works awsome. just delete the infected file and be done w/ it.\nGood luck!

they should change the name to lamewire...lol... most of the p2p programs out there got some kind of spy ware, I have previous problems with kazza, Morpheus and such, until I started to use torrents the one that works wonders for me is uTorrent you should try it and see what u think. besides it let you download for free the whole album that u r looking for and it works wit 7 major torrents finders like mininova , bitTorrent, the pirate bay ect,  If you do try it I suggest to get the 1.5 stand alone version is pretty easy to use if you got more questions you can contact me

Did you listen to each song to make sure it was complete before you burned the CD? Sometimes only partial songs are offered on limewire. I always listen to each song and MAKE SURE that the files are compatible with my CD burning program before burning. I suggest using Gold Wave - a great program - you can edit songs - make them louder or softer - delete long fades - save as a different file type - it's awesome. Hope this long winded diatribe helped!

The site is legal, users who download copyrighted material are acting ILLEGALLY (as if we give a fcuk, lol).\n\nYou can download music, videos, programs, documents... basically snything that it's millions of users choose to share. \n\nas with any p2p network, you can download infected files, especially if you don't know your stuff ( eg: you should know that a 4 minute MP3 @ 128kps is not going to be 281kb in size), so don't use it without frequently updated virus protection

I also recomend limewire or winmx.  You run a greater risk of getting a virus with limewire if you start downloading files other than music. If you want to download just music use winmx.

I have Limewire, and i find that it works really well. I've tried both of the others but have been most satisfied with Limewire.

Beacause Limewire is a bad program...it has installed all kinds of bugs on your computer...I spent over 100 bucks cleaning LimeWire off of my computer...it is bad news. And you can't just "delete" it...it won't be fully gone if you do it that way. You are either goig to have to pay someone to clean it out or hopefully you know someone who is qualified to do it for you free. Good Luck.
