Default Limewire

Itunes Cheap but in a protected format that can only be used (copied) 3 times

Napster Cheap.....but a sell out and annoying ads

Kazaa-RIAA cracking down on it with fake downloads and now due to closing of most Kazaa websites slower downloads


Limewire is the light!

Pro's

-High download speeds on music and vids (and porn) *coughs* almost all downloads over 30k
-Very simple GUI
-Very good searching GUI
-Proversion (which i bought) is better gets more sources etc
-When you buy it the link for the dl site.....can be viewed by anyone.......ive given the link to a couple peeps here
-NO RIAA FAKES (only found 2 of em so far)
-good price for good features

Cons
-Software harder to find but still fast currently downloading Photohop 8 at 70k
-Nuff said
-6 month's of being able to download only

Try Limewire.....If you are one of the more senior members I will give you the Proversion if you ask nicely........

he means FEW fakes.. sense he found 2 and also

it's 6 months of limewiret program updates.. afterwards i'm sure you can still use it, just no more patches.. you could probably just reinstall it like you can for norton and start fresh
