djdj Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I use it now and again. Not too bad. Although, with all of these file sharers, if your gonna use 'em, you should be in a position to fight viruses on the fly anyway. Don't ask, does it spread viruses, instead ask, am I protected against inevitable viruses anyway ... :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Limewire has contained spyware in the past, but the current version (4.9) is OK. I found it really slow though. I use a combination of WinMX for mainstream shit, Soulseek, eMule and torrents for other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixologist Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 You need to get Limewire pro. you can find it on www.mininova.org as far as i know it's clean. It's also better than the regular free limewire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
