Can anyone please explain how p2p(LimeWire)works?

ok, how this works is that when you donload limwire, it takes all the music files and stuffs and adds it to its library. then whoever doenloads limewire, thier music is available for download. and thats how u get music, it's other peoples. i think?

Dude.. use Limewire insted... and p2p software use several port above 6000 .. so .. check if the new shared connection .. has any firewall  on .. coz if it has then you can not connect thouse p2p software .. none of any .. tell your network administrator .. to open all port's for you againest your ip address\nENJOY..

If you are using Morpheus for P2P downloads switch over to Limewire Pro.For torrent downloads use utorrent. ]\nTorrent downloads are much secure, faster and freely availaible as compared to P2P downloads.

Both downloading and sharing items with programs like limewire are illegal. You are also not permitted to copy songs on disks and hand out to friends. This is US law.\n\nDownloading songs and other items from limewire IS NOT SAFE. People have paid me hundreds of dollars to clean their computers of viruses and malware. This software opens up your computer to an internet-wide network, and you can easily download infected items.\n\nI somewhat suspect that infections can happen even without downloads for programs of this type.

It doesn't matter how many P2P programs you download, if you are behind a firewall all of them will not work. What you have to do is in your firewall, in the programs list, select ALLOW to the P2P program

P2P software may be "legal" but most of the music distributed by such software is not legal.\n\nPlus there are the viruses transmitted by these programs, the poor quality of the tracks, and sometimes never being able to get a copy of the songs you're interested in.\n\nTwo years ago I discovered subscription music services which let you get almost any song you want and listen to it for as little as $5 a month.  I deleted all my downloaded tunes and went completely legit because it was so much better.  For as little as $10 a month, you can load up a portable player with thousands of songs (less than a penny a song a month) without buying them.  But you can buy tracks at discounted price too if you want.\n\nCheck out Yahoo Music Unlimited, Rhapsody, or Napster.

Limewire does not download songs from any website. You are downloading from other strangers computers that are using the Limewire software.\n\nAnd at the same time, these strangers are uploading files from your computer.\n\nThat is why these sort of programs are called peer to peer (P2P) filesharing programs.

I can never get Limewire to do what it's supposed to do.  Try using Shareaza...  Oh and Limewire was recently court ordered to block content.

Use a bittorrent client instead of limewire. Bitcomet is the best one and torrentbox.com has lots of full albums to download with it. Basically you install the Bitcomet, then you go to a torrent site and click the files you want and it connects you to whoever has that file, so the site is like a whole database of files instead of having a search in the program that doesn't find everything. Bittorrent is a lot less trackable too, and the creator is working with companies, so they don't really bust it's users.

general rule is any site or program like kazaa or limewire will have its faults, many virus's seem to get thru it.\nfile size and format is one thing to always watch, i have yet to hear of a totally free p2p site.\npersonally limewire is esier to use than any others.\nagain be carefull on what you choose to download and make sure your anti-virus is up todate.

Any unregulated, "peer-to-peer" file sharing system carries a huge risk that the files you receive will include viruses, trojans or other malware.   And the really galling thing is that you went ahead and loaded them on your system yourself...\n\nI spend a good part of my day, vacuuming out customer systems, crippled by p2p file transfers.  I've had one particular laptop on the bench 5 times this year, so far, and it's always the same... hundreds of pieces of malware, format the drive, re-install everything, give it back to the owner with a stern lecture, and it comes back with Limewire and Kazaa in the start-up list...  and a million more invaders.

P2P softwares are pear2 pear softwares. P2P has become so famous in recent years. This works on the concept of sharing some data on a system. When you make a request it logs on to some remote system and downloads the file.\n\nThe problem with P2P softwares is the tons of spywares that it loads into your system. Use a effective spyware scanner if you use p2p softwares.\n\nI can suggest ypu two good p2p softwares\n\nLimewire, downloadable from \nhttp://www.limiwire.com\n\nand \nBearshare, downloadable from\nhttp://www.bearshare.com

Network  Info  Clients\nBitTorrent This is perhaps the weirdest network mankind could have invented in history. You cannot search for a file in it. You have to find a web site, from which you can download a (very little) .torrent file. The program, using this file, will be able to connect to a mini p2p network made especially for that file.\nOdd indeed, but the download rates can be magnificent: even over 100 KB/s. The choice is surprisingly big.\nSee here a list of clients.\nAres (Warez P2P) The network is actually called Ares, but since it only has two clients: Ares and Warez P2P, it is sometimes referred to as Warez P2P as well. It is a little smaller than Gnutella (around 1.000.000 users), but has a very similar efficiency and content. However, unlike Gnutella, it is not open (when you create a program, you can not connect to it for free), and so the choice of clients is very little. \nAres\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nWarez P2P\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neDonkey2000 (ed2k) This is the biggest network that there is. It has about 3.500.000 users. You can find almost anything there.\nBut beware: the queues are enormous. You may have to wait for hours (sometimes, days) before the downloads actually begin. Once they begin, the rates are usually acceptable but never stunning. \neDonkey\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neMule\nprobably the best Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nvery good;\n+ Gnutella, Gnutella2 & BitTorrent Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nFastTrack This network has become very well-known thanks to its extremely over-advertised client, Kazaa. It is big (almost 3.000.000 users) and full of fake files (an effect of RIAA and MPAA hard work).\nIt is technically very good but the number of fake files is a major overhaul.\nMost FastTrack clients are loaded with adware and spyware. Lite versions recommended. \niMesh\ngood;\n+ Gnutella Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nMammoth\ngood; no ads Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nKazaa\nfull of adware and spyware Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nGnutella Gnutella is a very good network. It is not very big (about 1.300.000 users), but big enough to ensure a good choice. Downloads very often begin immediately, and the rates are good. However, they hardly ever are as good as in BitTorrent. But unlike BT, it is searchable.\nThere is a child of Gnutella's, Gnutella2, which is quite a small network (about 150.000 users).\nGnutella has perhaps the highest number of clients. \nCabos\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nLimeWire\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nPhex\ngood in Windows;\nvery good in Linux Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nOther networks\nThere are very many networks out there but most of them are tiny and unimportant. Below are some other names you could have come across. I did not put them in the table simply because I do not recommend them.\n\nDirectConnect - quite a big network (about 300.000 users), but a user-friendly GUI is yet to come; if you like having much too many windows open at once and being constantly confused as to which information on the screen is important, you can try it.\n\nFurthur - the idea is nice, but its usefulness is minimal; its main goal is to promote unknown musicians; you can give it a try, but the content will most probably disappoint you.\n\nIRC - the grandfather of p2p networking; unfortunately, it is still as comfortable in use as it was when it was born, which is a good couple of eras before the GUI-controlled modern p2p clients.\n\nManolito P2P - this network would be not bad if it only allowed for sharing anything more than music.\n\nSoulSeek - too little; sometimes you can unexpectadly find interesting things there, but in most cases the choice is very little.\n\n\n\nA beginner's guide to P2P., caminoix\n.: Publication date 17-July-2005 :: Reads: 8293 :: Review :: Print current page :: Print all:.\n\n\nGeneral Choosing a client Further reading\n- What is P2P? - Main networks - General links\n- Why use P2P? - Other networks\n- History of P2P - Multinetworking\n- Secur

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