Maybe it's time for me to stop using Limewire then Probably for the best

I can still record stuff from YouTube which will probably be best anyway

Limewire - gave up on that ages ago.

2 become 1 is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. I like that tune.

Thanks for the heads up though.

Limewire is handy if you just want the odd song here and there, as opposed to full albums(not that I do that sort of thing). I expect i'll be due "The Letter" soon then....shame

Limewire is a programme that you can download to your computer. It enables you (whilst the programme is running) to 'share' (i.e. illegally download) videos and music with other people who have the same software.

Torrents are better than limewire - faster at downloading (but I do not really know how they work).

Torrents allow you to get bits of a file from various sources in random locations. You then get a program which gets these bits from all different places and puts them back together. This makes it VERY difficult to trace.

I don't downloads illegally, just pay 79p per song on iTunes. Muuuch easier.

No it isn't. You have to enter your credit card information. People downloading Torrents illegally need only pick the file they want and turn the software on
