Use Limewire, Kazaa has too many viruses.

Yeah, KaZaa will mess you up bad, probably even Lite. Go with Limewire.

Yes, whatever you do DO NOT for the love of God download Kazaa. It makes crapware look appeasing.

LimeWire is good, as mentioned above, and is spyware/adware free. It is magnet/gnutella-based & available here
Current Version: 4.8.1
www.limewire.com

Ares is also pretty good. Has no spyware but DOES have an adware component that you can opt-out of during setup. Just be sure to do so. Multiclient with pretty good speeds.
Current Version: 1.8.1
www.aresgalaxy.org/download.html

eXeem is pretty new and is based on the BitTorrent engine. It did contain the Cydoor spyware, but versions 0.22beta+ are spyware free. It has a search bar adware thing called SaveNow bundled with it, but again this you can opt-out of during setup very easily. Speeds are quite good with this one.
Current Version: beta0.23
www.exeem.com/download.htm

AND.....my personal favorite
SHAREAZA. Open source/completely free with no spyware or adware. Multiclient g1/g2 & edonkey. Also handles bittorrents but not that great (standalone BT client always helpful). Speeds very greatly with files, from >1KB to over 1mb/s.
Current Version: 2.1
www.shareaza.com

If you are looking for a good BT client, I recommend Azureus. Once again, completely free & adware/spyware free. Can handle multiple torrents at a time & speeds are excellent, many times over 100KB/s. Lots of plugins are available too, including ones for UPnP & an upload enhancer.
Current Version: 2.2.0.2
azureus.sourceforge.net

I used to have Kazaa Lite, but not anymore. I'll go with Bearshare.

Belair · 03-30-2005, 06:57 AM

I use WinMx to burn my music,and so far I love it.Its easy to use,and hasn't f*cked up my computer.Kazaa was bullsh*t.

passionsfan79 · 03-30-2005, 05:53 PM

I was just curious if www.aresgalaxy.org/download.html was legal and also lime wire

Rebel Queen 1980 · 03-30-2005, 06:28 PM

I was wanting to download music too. But then again there so many problems
with spyware and adware out there that you don't know who to trust.I mean
certainly those other sites that a few of you recommended maybe just as
prone to viruses as the other sites are. Don't you agree?

MaydayMalonesGirl · 03-30-2005, 07:57 PM

I use Morpheus.

downloading music destroyed my last computer so I'll never download a music program again.

Jrnygrl · 03-30-2005, 09:10 PM

Okay maybe I'm crazy, but aren't you all afraid of being caught by RIAA? I used to love downloading, but stopped because of RIAA taking people to court.

Maybe I'm the only chicken in the world.
