What do you use to DL?

Postby James R. » Apr 13th, '09, 20:46

Well I had limewire, but it's pretty much responsible for crashing my comp a couple months ago, so yeah fuck limewire. Only downside is that it was how I got like 90% of my music (hence me asking for so many albums and shit in the DL section lately). So I was wondering if anyone knew any good, secure, reliable DL services out there. I'm not too opposed to paying a small amount for a GREAT one, but if I can't get the unreleased/unofficial shit that I want then there's no point lol. But yeah help a homie out.

I use Torrents... To make sure it's not fake or with virus, I look at the comments made by other users..

If your willing to pay then http://www.usenext.com can be very good for getting what you want fast and safe.

But I agree with Chet in that if your safe with Torrents and don't download stupid looking ones that are obvious Trojans (Comments help here :D) then they can be a pretty good option (you will find though that Torrents may be slow during the day because people generally seed more at night and turn the Torrent's off during the day while they are using the internet).

Limewire isn't that bad though, but if your not careful and don't scan the files you download before running them it can cause problems :( my brother nearly wiped out my computer before now lol.

http://www.albumhunt.com

but unfortunately the network im on is bringing in a policy that stops users from downloading music illegally

so its basically 3 strikes and your connection is gone
so ive been adding loads of albums to my collection before the policy comes in, in summer

and i cant buy most good albums at the record stores cos ireland is like anti-hip hop

and i use torrentz for movies

Limewire for music once in awhile. I usually just torrent cause it's a lot faster. Torrentleech and Demonoid is what i mainly use because they both have everything, especially demonoid.

First started out with Kazaa back in the ancient days, than moved on to Limewire, now to Ares.

Also use Bit Torrent.
