Thats what I'm saying. I've seen more garbage because of P2P than anything else... I have fought epic wars against the crud on friend's computers who got the crud from Limewire and Kazaa and such... only to have to admit defeat and format the thing...

I download everything from torrents,is using soulseek or limewire better for downloading music?
I've NEVER had any spyware or viruses that couldn't very simply be dealt with.
I tried loads of different p2p stuff in the past including soulseek....the only one I would avoid now is Kazaa.
Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveI've never had a problem with soulseek and I've downloaded literally hundreds of albums. Torrents are great but soulseek is the best for finding obscure stuff, if that's your bag.

I could be dead wrong about them now - I gave up years ago. I think the other issue I always had was the number of tracks that were mislabled, credited to the wrong artist, was some sort of promotional track which didn't actually have the whole song...etc. It's a pain to have to change all the tags on all the songs that you download.

I also agree that soulseek is better for less well known stuff.
Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveWell, after reading some of the posts, I'm giving this another try - my first attempt at torrents. i thought it was supposed to be all wicked fast and stuff... I guess I was wrong.

Originally posted by Bad wolfIt's happened to me before as well. I just restart my computer or refresh my internet connection.
I got LimeWire the other day, downloaded a few songs I liked, everything was working well. For some reason now whenever I make a search nothing appears, I turned my firewall off, I uninstalled it and installed again, nothing is working. 😕
Can anyone help?
