Same can be said for most p2p software. I used to use mIRC and it's still on system... I haven't used it in about 2 years, but it's only just showed up a trojan in the main software!

I'd go the torrent direction

Limewire is terrible for viruses and all sorts

 

[confused..]

so what would be the best option to use den other den limewire, bittorrent??

 

[iMacMart]

I think so

Utorrent as the torrent manager and theres lots of torrent sites out there

 

[confused..]

so how is limewire prone to more virus's and bittorrent is ok

 

[Teaf]

Viruses tend to attack Kazaa / Limeware etc, they copy themselves into the downloads folder of each program and disguise themselves as stupid stuff like "Photoshop CS3 crack.exe" and people actually run that kinda stuff and it spreads viruses even more.

I think its more to do with whats downloaded off of limewire, I have never had any issues with torrents but had a few bad ones when I used limewire, which is over 3 years ago now so maybe things have changed, but I doubt it?

 

[Schofield]

depends what you want it to do??....if its songs or albums, use albumbase.com, if its anything else you could use tv-links.co.uk, like beano said, the majority of p2p's arnt much better than limewire.
