Mr_Adam Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 If this topic is against the rules, feel free to lock it (I guess). Also, please keep comments against this to yourself, rather than beginning a moral discussion. Basically, I've come to a point where I can't afford to listen and buy all the music that I'd like to. Although it's not something I'd prefer to do, the idea of using a sharing program has become more and more appealing. Basically, I'd like to know which program would be safest and best to use on my PC. Also, if there is another method (such as recording Youtube mp3s) that would be better, please suggest it. Keep in mind that it's always nice to own a physical CD, and I'm happy to support artists I enjoy - I just can't donate to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Adam Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why uTorrent over others? By the way, I've pretty much ruled out Limewire (because I heard it screws your PC). And my cousin uses Ares. What about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limewire doesn't screw your pc its the files you download. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!

Well, I've heard Limwire isn't great - more people putting bad files I assume. Also, what can I do to help prevent downloading a rigged file?

Stragomagus Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 If you want to listen to music without having to pay for anything, legally at least, then try this site: http://www.acidplanet.com/default.asp?Cookie= Additionally, you could also download this program and listen to "ShoutCast", and "ShoutCast TV", radio: http://www.winamp.com/ I know it is very favorable to download the music illegally, unless you have no other recourse based on the region you live in, but the RIAA and other organizations are having a field day putting out fake files that are in effect there for entrapment purposes and not to mention that you also have to deal with the loads of real files that have malware attached to them. For the purposes of downloading audio files from youtube videos here is a lifehacker.com article on how to do so: http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2008/04/record_youtube_music_videos_to_mp3-2/ If you still feel these are not a decent enough option then here is a about.com article listing the top torrent programs. (Torrents are legal, just not for the purposes this individual intends on using it for) http://netforbeginners.about.com/od/peersharing/f/torrentclients.htm For future reference you may also want to read the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, if you live in the U.S. of course, to know what warrants "Fair Use". http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=105_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ304.105.pdf Quote - Revenge is such a nasty thing that only breeds more vengeful souls, but in some situations revenge does not even need to be sought out, but only bided.

Sbrideau Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why uTorrent over others? By the way, I've pretty much ruled out Limewire (because I heard it screws your PC). And my cousin uses Ares. What about that? Any program that works the same way Limewire does for sharing files, ares being one of them, people will put a lot of bad files in there. Here's the rating people give to the ares site: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.ares.net utorrent is the way to go, it's hard for people to put viruses and have seeders.
