naomi 356 Posted May 26, 2007 Whats the best music/video downloader out there? I usually use Ares, but if theres something else out there thats better, i'm willing to use a new one. The other night a friend of mine was having a hard time finding a song on there so I tryed limewire and found it pretty fast. My brother told me how to disable everything so you can't be traced (forget what I did) but I've used it without problems for a while. On the other hand he stopped using it because of the IRRA crackdowns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gratefulted 14 Posted May 26, 2007 I use my free 2 gig allotment of newsgroup downloads every month then use bittorrent for the rest if needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MahSoonerz 0 Posted May 26, 2007 Soulseek is great for music, esp. if you are looking for full albums and/or legal downloads. Granted the legal stuff is electronic artists you may have never heard of, but I like it fine. If you are looking for videos or whole discographies, bittorrent is the way to go.

Johnny Ringo 0 Posted May 26, 2007 I still haven't seen any downside to Allofmp3.com for music....can't really help you with the movies part. It's legal...the selection is great...search function is easy...and each song costs about 20-30 cents at full 320 mB CD quality. (I get 3-4 songs for a buck, as opposed to 1 song at itunes). A typical full CD costs me about $2.50-$3.00 to download. Again, maybe there are problems that I'm not aware of...but I've used it for about 2 years and so far...

Big Blue 06 195 Posted May 26, 2007 I would never use anything illegal like that, but a friend of mine uses Limewire. I...I mean he has used it on his home and work computer for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

itsbigmoni 1 Posted May 27, 2007 I'm hesitant to use bittorrent because its so popular and i would think that would be the place that you have the highest risk to get popped. I wouldn't want to pay for songs because i just download a bunch of songs at a time and usually only end up keeping like half of them, if that. Does anyone know somebody who has been caught? Does it happen enough to worry about it? I downloaded ares, it seems alright for now, but i'll probably get limewire. I've heard good things about that one.

MahSoonerz 0 Posted May 27, 2007 One reason why I like soulseek is you almost always get what you think you are getting. As opposed to limewire which is overrun with viruses and fakes files. It is harder to see the quality of what you are downloading with a torrent, but they still are more or less safe. It's a fine idea to run everything you download through a virus scanner before opening it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
