Unless you have Comcast which traces torrents when they notice an increase in bandwidth. Beware!

limewire is not dead.......its only 1 client on a much larger network gnutella well it is garbage anyways no matter what you search on limewire or pretty much any client on this massive network you can be assured that there is a virus with the same name.

you are much better off using bit torrent as the other guys here stated BUT using private sites demonoid.me is great for applications but nothing beats a good private torrnt site for fast uploads,security,clean virus,malware free files since users who post them are quickly banned and these sites are exclusive invite-only so if someone invites an idiot who posts virus ridden content they are banned as well for inviting them.

also it is probably best to join a private torrent site with a server that is based outside of the U.S or Canada and disable DHT on your bit torrent client :)

with comcast the thing to worr about is not tracing torrents but bandwidth throttling i worked for comcast for a bit on your torrent client just disable DHT and enable encryption and shouldnt have a problem

for utorrent settings should be as follows

Preferences - Bittorrent - untick all EXCEPT Ask tracker for scrape information (while you are there also enable Protocol Encryption.

for Vuze or azureus =Tools - Options - Connections - Peer Sources - Uncheck 'Decentralized tracking' and "Supplied by another peer"
Tools - Options - Plugins - Distributed DB - Uncheck 'Enable the distributed database'

for Transmission(linux/mac client)
Preferences - Peers - Untick PEX & DHT

:)

Do what you want cause a pirate is free,

you are a Pirate!

My internet connection is so slow I can't get it to download!! Maybe if I wasn't stealing the net it'd fly!

If you are using windows, try CCleaner by Pirisoft. Cnet.com is where to get it and it is free. READ THE DIRECTIONS. If you have stored passwords or book marks you want saved you need to make sure this software is set to not erase said folders.

Sounds like your machine is junked up. Also BHOs are a big problem. They are also known as Tool Bars. Zango is one nightmare.

I do have the CCcleaner. You recommended I get that awhile back. I downloaded a uniblue registry booster from the same site for the limewire & it just sits there laughing at me!! I'll run the cc now. thx

That's what it was. I cleaned up the PC & it downloaded just fine. I'd tried twice before to have the download get aborted. thx
