Limewire! -- For Complete Dummies

[Daft]

Most people use limewire for downloading music and programs and what not.This is a short guide to using limewire and not getting viruses from downloads.
Get it here: Lime Wire » Download LimeWire

Once you install it, for the love of God, get a GOOD anti-virus program (if you don't already have one)


Now that you have your anti-virus and limewire set up, let me give you an example of what usually is a virus:

-- If it has a size of about ~3 megabytes or lower
-- If it is spelled with weird symbols
-- Don't get keygens, they usaully have a virus
-- If you are searching for a text file, make sure the file type is not .bat
-- Never download EXE's, get a zip, rar, iso, or other compressed files

Thats it! (until I can think of more) so enjoy limewire and be safe


*If you know anything I can add to the list, please post and tell me
**All you bittorrent fans, GTFO and don't flame

Dont wanna risk it so I dont use Limewire or Bearshare, Download music, movies, games, software! The Pirate Bay - The worlds largest BitTorrent tracker got the most I need : )

btw, Limewire works with torrents :P

I agree, limewire is for dummies.

I agree, limewire is for dummies.

Why is that?
It is a great program for getting stuff you don't feel like paying for :P Just because you can get viruses isn't really that big of a deal. if you're smart, you can avoid them.

I'd rather torrent and get exactly what I want, exactly how I want it. Using P2P software can get you some weird stuff, and music is always named wrongly :/

Once again I point out that torrent files work in limewire.

Using P2P software can get you some weird stuff

How is the sofware you get from limewire different from the torrent software you get?

music is always named wrongly :/

LOL just rename it, simple as that :P

[antihero998]

Hate to tell you but torrents are P2P too. But you are right in saying torrents are better then limewire. If your looking for a fast easy way to get stuff that isnt P2P use newsgroups.

You could also download Ares, I think its better than limewire due to Ares having no viruses (I think)

Of course it is a P2P program, thus it has viruses... Also limewire has way more features...

All you saying you like torrents better, limewire works with torrents. So if you want a torrent, that is fine, but when you cannot find a good one search on limewire.

So limewire is king.

[Dragonshadow]

My limewire is borked
It can't connect.

I've told it to route through the ports I opened, but no avail.
