* Kaos hopes u know theirs a limewire pro turbo

And what might this Limwire Pro Turbo be?

Everyone I talk to says Limewire is terrible whether you have Pro or Free but I have used Pro for about 3 years and never had any problems.

Evil.

I'm cool with free... The whole reason I got it was for free music. Pay for free music? = defeating the purpose.

First off torrent the pro version. Second right now I am trying to get Limewire Turbo and I will let you know what it's like when I get it.

Doesn't Frostwire = Free Limewire Pro?

How much RAM does Phex use?

I don't know, but it's Java, so don't get your hopes up.

Lol its funny I had problems this morning with limewire, it took it 15 minutes to connect to the network and it has never done that before. Other than that I've never had problems with it or gotten a virus. Everyone says it gives you viruses but I beg to differ. I think thats only if you try to download games or aps. And no one needs limewire pro. Regular limewire gives you music for free and thats all you need. Faster download times doesn't make a big difference, it just speeds up the process of the government coming to your house, taking all your stuff and sticking their fingers up your a**. And if you want movies use a torrent downloader, I use bitloard.
It's simple.........
limewire > than buying music.

Eeh, Torrents are better than Limewire/Kazaa/whatever else you find.

nopyo · « **Reply #12 on:** December 25, 2007, 06:48:39 PM »

Torrents are nice for movies but not for downloading individual songs though.

Exactly my thoughts...

Even when I understood nothing about computers, I still somehow had a problem believing that a song could have a virus coded into it, much less be somehow executed to screw your computer up.

sk89q · « **Reply #15 on:** December 25, 2007, 11:05:15 PM »

Well then you'd be wrong actually. Several media players have had exploits that let arbritrary code execute from a media file.

Fullmetal_Steeb · « **Reply #16 on:** December 26, 2007, 10:31:22 AM »

Really? Do you have an example?

I don't believe it's the only one too, and other players, like Winamp, have had trouble with these kind of problems.

soul seek is a good program for only songs.

Do you guys want to hear something funny. Limewire you can't download anything free, but if you want limewire pro you have to pay. So why not cheat limewire off using limewire, (cheating itself off by using it) and download limewire pro off of limewire, then you can get it for free. LMAO that;s what I did.
