can someone not lock this thread for advertising suicide or something?

[Sidders]

Limewire is built on Java, so I doubt it would be too difficult to adapt to Linux. Limewire is OK, but it really dents my bandwidth when I use it.

[Quincy]

i wouldnt touch any of that crap with a ten foot bargepoll

[Console]

Why

[Quincy]

everything comes at cost console

[Dickie]

You're worried about the feds coming through your door?

[Quincy]

stuff buggering up my computer

[Console]

Did you read the thread?

[Quincy]

so can you guarantee that no spyware or evil things will go into my pc then if i use for example the one you suggested, giFT?

[Console]

Its opensource, which means that if you wished, you could go through the source code for it (which I have partially done). Also, if you means downloading viruses, all you have to do is not run anything ending in exe, com, bat or pif (Did I miss any?).

[Quincy]

ok console thanks. yes i did read the whole tread by the way i just basically dont have a clue about computers. ages ago my sister had some fileshare thing on my pc and it completley f*cked it up. eventually i sorted it out somehow i cant remember how, but i just dont want the hassle of doing it all again thats all.

[Sheep]

probably kazaa
But consoles right, therye all safe,(ones mentioned here) other than kazaa

[Dickie]

People that have used computers for a fair amount of time now i think have become wise to what fileshare programs are safe and what ones will kill your computer.

[Sidders]

Never had any problems with Kazaa Lite. Heard bad things about BearShare though.

[Console]

From memory, BearShare also uses the Gnutella network, which is what LimeWire uses. But, I don't remember hearing anything bad about it.

[Quincy]

ergh. nuttella is rank

[Sidders]

From memory, BearShare also uses the Gnutella network,

It does. I've heard it puts loads of spyware onto your system which is near impossible to remove.

[Sheep]

My mate uses bearshare....and i had to fix her comp the other week, had to clear loads of spyware and adware, and there was a hell of alot wierd programs running on startup, that was probably why...

[DemonHorse]

Yeah Kazaa f**ked my old PC good and proper.... but that was on win 98 as well, might give giFT a try after I've wiped old PC hard drive and started again with it

[Lucie]

anyone know where i can buy a tombstone for this board?

HAHAHA! I think I nearly burst a vein.

[Sidders]

eDonkey seems to be quite good for music files during my initial tests.

[Console]

I've got nothing against eDonkey personally, as I've never actually used it myself, but reports from friends seem to suggest that its not that good. Isn't it adware?

[Quincy]

i just done a virus scan and found some adware thing that was downloaded with a patch for football manager. those bloody gits
