Emule and Limewire are a LOT better for pop than slsk.

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seconded on limewire. If you want a new pop single it is tops, BUT can be riddled with buggered-up files.

Limewire seconded. I think slsk is probably over. For me, anyway. I haven't have a decent search on there for ages.

The beta version of slsk is so much better for search it isn't funny, even if (or perhaps because) there's 1/20th the users. I've not tried to use it for new stuff, just random old pop gannetism, though I did find the Tatu album there very quickly.

I do agree with byebyepride above though, that Limewire is often riddled with the e-pox. Make sure you have a good anti virus. I'm pretty sure the last time my computer fell apart it was through some dodgy Limewire grabs.

point taken. will viruses screw my mac, or is it a pc thing?

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

The large majority of viruses attack PCs and don't affect Macs. Don't assume that you are therefore safe from viruses! If you have reputable anti-virus software that is updated regularly, the risk is extremely small.

I use BitDefender, which the man in the shop said was good.

I worry now; is it?
