agreed, seems strange to not use torrents due to viruses but to use limewire.

double agree Limewire is riddled

i use a private torrent site. isohunt is good, for tv shows its gotta be EZTV never had a virus from there in 8 years. i miss mininova . but for those that dont want to risk it with viruses always read the comments or failing that d/l filetopia its a one on one ftp site not as quick as torrents but perfect in every other way a great bunch of people run it including me

I've actually gotten a virus on my laptop from Limewire before too.

I really don't use it often though, but when I'm in a pinch and my usual download sites & Google are of no use I'll turn to the dreaded Lime.

And speaking of lime, someone needs to develop a nice, citrusy Lime Haze of some sort. Why does lemon get all the love?

I never knew till it went down that it was a Dutch site

Isohunt and extratorrent nowdays

Any good alternate sites? Thanks

These are the sites that I primarily use. As for the program, I use uTorrent.

Totally agree.
Isn't Limewire considered old school these days? In recent years I have been able to download more files, faster, and without any viruses using Torrents, than anything Limewire or similar programs can or has offered. Limewire was a great product in the beginning, but now, why bother?

Peace.

Bearshare, now theres a blast from the past.

Bearshare was the first one i ever used jesus its still installed on my pc lol

use torrentz.com & sometimes btmon, &my prog is bitlord, used to use bittorrent but had problems with it stopping the download for no apparent reason

agreed, public torrents can be very unreliable, often fakes, no seeders etc. I use private torrent sites like Waffles.fm, What.cd. Because they are invite only, the membership is too valuable for anyone to upload shite. Its heavily modded and anyone who breaks the rules is quickly banned or put on probation.

For TV shows, TVTorrents is good...

For electronic music, try Torrentech (no invite needed for this one!)
