TORRENT VS LIMEWIRE (which side are you in?!)

Limewire is the fastest file sharing program on the planet. Here is just a few of the features BitTorrent Support Built-In , Fast Downloads, No Spyware or Adware, Works behind Firewalls, Runs on Windows, Mac & Linux. Be sure your virus software is always up to date when using limewire or any program connected with the internet. Files you download could be mislabeled, hiding a virus or other unwanted content. Use anti-virus software to protect your computer from viruses you might pick up from other users through the file-sharing program. Although your virus filter should prevent your computer from receiving possibly destructive files. Norton experts suggest you avoid files with extensions like .exe, .scr, .lnk, .bat, .vbs, .dll, .bin, and .cmd. as often these files will and can destory your system. I like to use limewire but I always check the downloads with my antivirus program and I am not a frequent user of the program so I guess I have been lucky as some I have talked with told me some pretty bad stories that happened to them. Just be careful.

Torrents are easy to use. You just use a torrent client, like utorrent, to run the torrent files. Nothing more. Also, Limewire is less safe and harder to find files on. Sure, it's great if you want to download a single song, but you could do so much more with a torrent. By the way, when it comes to legal downloads, there's a lot more available through torrents: OpenOffice.org and various Linux distributions (often upwards of 3GB) among other things.

I never tried downloading using Limewire... I always download from torrents... Mostly from mininova... I installed utorrent client for downloading torrents,,, I get awesome speeds from torrents... I dont exactly know how limewire works... Could you explain me....

Torrent is the best,if u want movies,softwares,and music,use torrent With torrents you can get single music tracks and albums. If u download movies and software from private torrent sires,u'll never get virus in the softwares and u dont get fake movies.

Limewire for me :) I love it!

im on torrents side...i never tried Limewire and i think torrent is the best..it gives more download speed...i dont know about Limewire and i haven't even seen it...i dont even know,what kind is it....im happy with torrents... Goodday, Sri

limewire is good if your looking for just one song but torrents are so much better for bigger things like films, albums and games

I'm using both, these are two different type of source. For limewire you have got the complete data from one source, if your source is down then you have no choice but to wait for it to get back on line. In Torrent the data is divided into multiple parts and distributed multiple copies to multiple source if one is down you could still have the chance to complete the download. For download time limewire far beats torrents but for reliability torrent has the edge.

I go with a torrent. It's neater, more organized, more efficient. Either that, or I get my music from blogs and music rotation sites. Limewire has always given me spyware problems anyway.

hehehehe tom-a-toes Tom-ar-toes If you understand this you will see the difference between the 2 Tez

i use limewire ever since...i like it and it is easy. i never tried torrent...maybe i will try someday but as of the moment i am happy with limewire.

TORRENT for me i have never downloaded anything from limewire,,but i use DC++ sometimes. downloading with torrents is very easy and in limewire i guess the speed depends on two users. the one who is downloading and the one who is giving. but in torrent it more liking sharing. speed depends on how many people are seeding means sharing. and for famous things like some movies,some softwares,,speeds are awesome on torrents. bey peace.

I use both before but I think Torrent is better... You can easily find full versions of the ones that you are looking for... but when it comes to faster downloading... I'll go for limewire, in Torrent sometimes it does not continue downloading just because seeders are not available...

i have used limewire and found it to be a complete waste of time 90% of what i downloaded was not complete and those that were was of poor quality.i have utorrent but have yet to use it waiting for someone to show me as i dont follow written instructions to well. P,S.i use ares for downloads and its fast free and most important easy.and everything has been top quality

I'm with you. Never tried torrent always limewire.

i tried torrents to download but tried Limewire 1 time and my system was attacked by virus. i use torrents much.

I've never used limeware but all my friends in the know say to use torrent. I have utorrent & love it. But I cannot compare, I can only tell you what I use & feel comfortable with.

Well I'm on Limewire side. Limewire is a heavy site so fortunately you get a lots of hosts at specific time. Hands up for limewire and where it comes to viruses i never got a single viruse from it but there is a friend of mine who downloaded a virus through limewire which gives a lot of trouble and he decided not to use it again and is sticking to torrent. Now torrent is useless and gives a lots a virus and incomplete files or in simple words A BIG SEVER HEADACHE. I downloaded there games from it and they all come uncomplete so i got to strife to fix them and i fixed them then played and again started to downloading games from torrents keeping in mind that maybe i have to fix these too. So no hands up for torrent only for limewire. But people rely on toorent much and host more files on torrent than limewire. Thanks. Jesse.

I have never heard of torrent but I know limewire is loaded with spyware and it isn't worth it when there are companys who have free song download promotions all over the place.

torrent is the best definately
