Sorry to blow the whistle, but you're not supposed to discuss warez, etc. on the boards. It's one of the rules.

PMing is OK as far as I know, though :D

please 5300, there are perfectly legitimate reasons to be using a filesharing program. The obvious idea is that the man will use it illegally, but if we stop people on this website from talking about filesharing, which has perfectly legitimate purposes, than why not stop talking about guns, and knives? Those too could be associated with illegal situations, although both have perfectly legal reasons for being used.

Amen to that. It's not like we're discussing how to get access to illegal drugs or how to commit violent crime.

I agree, LimeWire sucks. Aquisition is a good substitute, but having to pay for a P2P app is idiotic in my opinion.

I was under the impression that there was no spyware on the Mac... how did you know about LimeWire?

While I heard that the Windows version of LimeWire has spyware, I had no idea that the Mac version does.

Mostly just Ad-Ware...

If you need any Help with Poisoned you can come to me, I've used it for quite a while... Am registered to their forums... one of the top members.

All I used is Poisoned and Bit Torrent.

Tho with Bit Torrent you need Websites... which *would* be illegal to talk here... so use some other method of taking to me.

Here's a Google definition to spyware :)
