where the fuck was I this past October?!?! Apparently, Limewire (FREE P2P Utility) has been pulled off of the interweb.

The hell?!?!?!

Its Sunday morning, and I'm bored and stoned.. and watching 'The Sopranos'. I got the urge to download some music to waste some time and give myself something to do right?!? Well, I get on the web and start searching for 'LimeWire'... only to find out that it had been pulled offline. :|

The fuck.. :|

What do you guys use to get music?? I'm not gonna pay .99 per track. Fuck that.. if I wanted to pay for it.. I'd take my happy ass to the store.

any recommendations? any help is appreciated.

peace.

thanks ppls.

I found something even better. Its called FrostWire. Its brand new I think.. pretty much a different version of Limewire.. and a different look.

lol.. probably from the same people that brought Limewire to the internet.. bringing free music downloads in the first place. It's probably them trying to keep music free!! like it should BE!!!!

peace.

BAM - fresh off of Google

What is a torrent?

(talking about torrents in computer terminology)
Torrent is a small file (around few kilobytes) with the suffix .torrent, which contains all the information needed to download a file the torrent was made for. That means it contains file names, their sizes, where to download from and so on. You can get torrents for almost anything on lots of web sites and torrent search engines.
Torrent is the most popular way of downloading large files, including movies and games (remember legality of downloading)
​
Downloading with a torrent is advantageous especially when downloading files, which are momentarily very popular and whitch lots of people are downloading. Because the more people download the file, the higher speed for everyone (see torrent principle).
  • torrent is a file
  • with torrents you can download almost everything on the net
  • every file (or set of files) need to have an unique torrent file to download it
  • to download anything through a torrent you need a torrent client
You probably already tried another ways of p2p sharing - torrent is just another method. The original BitTorrent client was written in Python and it has been made open-source. Thanks to that, we have a large variety of torrent clients today. Just choose which one you like.


How to download files with a torrent?

Downloading with a torrent is actually very simple. You just need a rightly set torrent client (setting your connection speed is usually all you need to set). Then you open the torrent file inside your client, set a place where you want to download desired files and then just wait till it's downloaded. Downloading with a torrent is no more complicated than using any other p2p application, but even simpler.
Newest client versions:
uTorrent - 1.7.7(220 KB)

its just another way of file sharing, but your not limited to the one program. Once you download a torrent client (the thing u open and dload the torrents), you can go to numerous torrent sites and dload the files from a host, just click the desired file and open it up in your client, say like bitlord or soemthing. You can dload whole cds, movies, games, books, tv shows etc..... its pretty much the same concept as limewire but you have more freedom of dloads. You want something with high seeds and low leech when searching. Some files will be in zips or .rar or .iso and a bit of extracting/converting might be in order, but nothing a little google cant solve. havnt had anyproblems with torrents and a good site should be chock full of everything

limewire...torrents etc etc = shit

Newsgroups are the best and safest way to get anything you want. Google Usenet if you need to know more.

if your someone who likes to pay for the music and be secure, grooveshark is a really good website. its like 30$ for a year, unlimited dloads, TONS of music, playlist makers, exports possible etc... I personally dont have it, bc why pay when i can get it for free? ( i support some artists and buy select cds, but it seems stupid now a days) BUT my boy swears by it and eveything ive requested he has or can get.
