DJVageli Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 I use both,and theyre both safe They both use de-centralized servers,meaning you download from other users Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 That depends on what your definition of "safe" is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyantm06 Posted August 5, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Why did I hear RIAA sent out over 800 lawsuits to people who use LimeWire last week?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Lawsuits won't do any good because it is a public interface...read the license agreement that you agreed to to install the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Limewire I have to say is the fastest downloader ever ahead of ares then kazaa. But what gets me is that the ppl who pay $20-$50 for the subscription and they are the higher priority that are getting sued because they get more features than the free customers. I have a $200 20GB MP3 Hard Drive Music Player that can store OVER 20,000 SONGS if formatted to 64Kbps WMA. I am not willing to spend $20,000 on just music from like napster. What about those ppl who are close to welfare , they would have to pay for those songs. But a middle class citizen ($70.000/yr job) won't have a problem with that because they can buy alot with $70,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea they do but I think your missing the whole point. Never mind. Ive already "helped" several people get pro so take your chances if you want.

peepnklown Posted August 6, 2005 CID Share Posted August 6, 2005 LimeWire might be shutting down in the near future. I have seen Norton Anti-Virus detect Windows Updates as viruses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MttFrog13 Posted August 6, 2005 CID Share Posted August 6, 2005 Just so everyone knows, every file on bearshare or limewire that has a file size of 872,159 is a virus/spyware. I usually find the when searching in apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Fan Posted August 6, 2005 CID Share Posted August 6, 2005 I can't even get LimeWire to work... I open it and it finishes loading, then a window pops up and then disappears. There's no sign of it in the running proccess' list after it disappears... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb62787 Posted August 6, 2005 CID Share Posted August 6, 2005 make sure you have the lastest of Java downloaded and installed before downloading this download. It tends to close itself down and it takes a long time to install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would uninstall with your uninstaller pro reboot and reinstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
