Please god no. DO NOT USE Limewire. I mean unless you like Trojans and Spyware, not to mention you are basically opening up a highway to anyone who wants to look at information on your computer. Using a torrents style downloader is safer but still has its flaws. It is what I use. ---

It is what I use. Things liek Limewire/Frostwire etc… is perfectly safe as long as your not downloading things all over the place, when you search for songs make sure everything adds up… The size for the song, the name, and the bit rate at which it plays… I’ve been using limewire for 2-3 years without getting anything, ive been using frostwire over the past year as the same deal. ---
