There's no feedback or comment sections on any downloads, so limewire fails. goodbye.
why do you need feedback? you can tell every single thing about the file before you download just by looking at size, format, title, how many users - even the syntax of the title

Limewire really isnt that bad. As long as you aren't dumb, you can't get a virus...

If you want a music file, don't download unless its MP3 and its in the 3-10MB range

for videos, mpeg/wmv and at least a few megabytes

only download if there are multiple sources

If you cant play the file in limewire/its corrupted, dont open it outside of limewire (probs a virus)
i understand this, i know limewire is a good thing to get songs off. but in my past expearences with limewire, right after setup computer has a slow start ( i also do understand that this can be fixed) but with image files, no cd patches, patches and other files includeing large .zip, .rar and .ace files you can put other junk to rase the file size and also add a heap of bad things in there to. and before its to late you have a issue on your hand before you know what was actually in those nice files.

if people did not put crap up on limewire it would be good. but unfortunatly there are dicks that do.

therefore i label limewire as a no go zone for me.

You pay for rapidshare? You don't download anything other than music? You only listen to shit that's on blogspot?

i listen to death metal, everything i want is uploaded from blogspot.
I also download full games and movies, off a forum-type site where ppl upload games/movies/pc apps via rapidshare/megaupload.
I dont pay for rapidshit, i normally opt for megaupload links since they're faster and u have a higher download quota as a non-premium member than rapidshit.

none, once i forgot the password, i looked up the site i downloaded from, and password was there.
