Re: downloads
 

try kazaa,http://www.kazaalite.com/
its what i use

Re: downloads
 

I use winmx mick its pretty good. give it a whirl
http//www.winmx.com

Re: downloads
 

i also use WinMX. i've not had any problems with it so far, but i cannot seem to be able to download at more than 55kbps even though its a broadband connection alledgedly running at 572kbps.
Heard a few horror stories about kazaa being rife with viruses. I remember someone posting about it on Accyweb a couple of weeks back, but i can't remember who.
Currently got 9 downloads in active progress on WinMX, as i write. If you play around with the settings, it can be very productive. No wonder 'Our Price' shut down. :D

Re: downloads
 

Do NOT use Kazaa. It's absaloutely full of viruses and Kazaa lite isn't much better. You're better off saving up money and buying a CD.

Re: downloads
 

Anyone else had trouble getting onto the WinMX website? Would really like to try downloading some music - bought some blank CD's nearly a year a go & not figured out how to do it yet!!! (without paying that is)

Re: downloads
 

just done a search for Boney M on WinMx. 880 matches including 'Gold' their 'best of' album, and various other albums. i hope this is food for thought, Mick.:)

Re: downloads
 

i use kazaa lite++

along with 2 spyware and adaware removing programs and norton 2004, no problems :)

Re: downloads
 

Same here, never had a virus downloading music off there, had a few while downloading programs though but anti-virus always stopped them.
I have tried the winmx but it was too slow compared to Kazaa, dont know if it speeds up like Kazaa when you share a lot of files though, With Kazaa the more you share the faster you download

Re: downloads
 

with kazaa u can preview, not spending 5 hour downloading a video file if its the wrong one.

Re: downloads
 

thanks to all i know have what i want winmx used

Kazzalite is a cracked version of Kazza - I use it and haven't had any probs, although I aint saying that that is gospel - just my experience. Some Kazza users have been taken to court in the USA and it will happen over here as well in a while so I hear.

Sparkologist - It doesn't matter how fast your connection is..the download speed depends on the other persons connection amongst other things such as traffic. If the other person has a dial-up 56k modem then it doesn't matter if you have the dogs connection/transfer rate...if they cant send it at 20/30 or 55 kbps then you wont get it at that speed regardless of your set-up. Think of it as a tube running from tyem to you - at your end the tube might have a large diameter and therefore able to receive large amounts of data, yet at their end the tube has a narrow diameter and they aren't capable of matching the flow you are able to receive. Sorry if this is telling you how to suck eggs!...it bugged me for a while too!

Re: downloads
 

By the way it's not Kazza the program thats full of viruses, its the evil little buggers who share virused files on there!

Re: downloads
 

I am not too sure that Roy will be best pleased with this thread, if you are going to download music illegally then it's probably not a good idea to shout about it on a public forum.

Re: downloads
 

Well, if you like it good enough, you should just buy it, but sometimes I download some music just for computer even though I have it on a cd. Anyway, there is this program that is very rare called kazaa reserection. Not sure if I spelled it right, but its suppose to be better then lite. Best of luck!

Re: downloads
 

Imesh is very very good i reccommend it............

Re: downloads
 

i use winmx after bad vibes from kazza ,kazza lita heard not to bad but i don,t chance it ,use winmx for single tunes ,but the best by far is www.suprnova for dowloading full albums ,but u must download wots called as a bit torrent to excess the tunes ,the variety of music is vast ,gl in downloading

Re: downloads
 

I generally use MIRC but it's a mote advanced downloading program.You need to download mirc the an Invision Script then use xdcc search engines like Pacetnews.com or mydownloader.com.I use it to download everything songs,albums,films,games,software.It's mostly new or unreleased stuff but there is older material.It's a hard program to learn how to use but well worth it,i've got 1,000s of pounds of cracked software and albums/films etc.It's the best.
