Limewire is officially shut down

Not a single fuck was given yesterday.

And nothing of consequence was lost.

Sucks for North America residents I guess.

This made me remember Kazaa, and then before that, Audiogalaxy. I used Audiogalaxy a lot.

After that I had started using a program called Direct Connect, which eventually became known as DC++, before torrents were around.

Not really…if people are willing to actually think, and not just do whatever. Companies are willing to sue here, and p2p is easier to monitor. Knowing those risks, and that other alternatives are available EASILY, it makes no sense to still screw around with p2p. Laziness and ignorance prevail here, I guess.

Torrent sites aren’t going anywhere especially the private torrent sites like Demonoid.

You can download single songs via torrents. Just find the album it’s on and then uncheck the rest of the files you don’t want.

  • … hello filestube! :smiley:

I didn’t know Limewire was still considered usable at this point lol.

doesn’t this include it’s brother Frostwire?

Actually torrent sites are next. It’s only a matter of time, especially since several torrent sites have been hit with lawsuits. It’s all about money at the end of the day, and people don’t like losing money.

Speaking of music, what are some other good torrent sites for albums? I’m on what.cd, but my music taste is quite different from most of theres.

Matter of time my ass. You do realize only the PUBLIC torrent sites have been hit so far like mininova and piratebay. Again private ones won’t get caught. You can definitely bet on that.

Whats the legal stance on downloading stuff from Megaupload/Rapidshare/MediaFire that has been linked from small forum communities?

I find alot of my music from select underground blogs and messageboards.They are an absolute goldmine.

From what I know it’s a big cluster fuck. Especially if the peson is in charge of the forum, isn’t even a U.S citizen. Plus they have to deal with the actual hosting site. Forums like these usually just switch domain names after a while and they can tack on a post minimum to read certain section so that in itself gives a headache to whomever trying to stop it. I don’t think those are going anywhere anytime soon.

Also websites like Megaupload actually pays uploaders if they get xxxx amount of downloads. So sometimes even when they know they have illegal stuff they move real slow to take it down.

LOL PEOPLE STILL USE OLD TECHNOLOGY? GUFFAW! HOW SMUG AM I?* :cool:

NOOOOOO DON’T TOUCH MY DREAMCAST, MOM! YOU BITCH!

i’m with Nasty Manx on this one. i don’t think i can deal with life without limewire :sad:. i’m fixing viruses on a computer right now with the lime on it. LOOK AT THE START UP ITEMS! LOOK AT THEM!!! THEY KEEP GOING! it literally took me 30 minutes to scroll though all of it and i scroll by PAGE, not by item!

*that wasn’t an attack on BullDancer or anyone, just in these sort of threads, someone’s going to use that line. next week when Demonoid gets shut down, someone’s going to exclaim “lol people still use torrentz?” while greedily inhaling their own flatulence with flared nostrils. technology is immortal, bros- there will always be someone somewhere using it. people still tinker around on Commodore 64s. i still play CS 1.6 in a consistently full server. respect it, yo.

That’s just how my co-workers’ and my uncle’s (4 female cousins using the same pc) pc are: women just let what-the-fuck-ever install itself on there without a care in the world (“Jess keep clickin’ “yes”, you don’ gotta read all dat”), and can’t understand why the pc is all munged up and slower than a constipated sloth crossing a room of fly paper.

yeah, this was a woman’s computer. in her defense she had a fully updated version of McAfee. McAfee isn’t all that great imo, but at least she attempted “safe surfing” also, i’ve been fixing people’s computers since i was a little kid. worst viruses i’ve ever seen ever. i’m not lying about those startup items- AT LEAST 5000 copies of that garbage text. took me 3 days to get rid of all that shit- and it’s still kinda messed up (i got it updated all the way up to service pack 3 but that won’t install). apparently she gave it to 3 other local businesses to try to get it fixed and they couldn’t do it. feels good knowing i did it- also feels bad that i can’t get a job at a local computer shop.

O_O

I wish this wasn’t a new idea for me, despite me doing it several times with porn/TV torrents. WOW. I feel retarded the remix right now.

Wait, people still use torrents to download? Lmao you guys need to ramp your shit up to 88mph and start using newsgroups*

*Actually I don’t know how newsgroups works but I heard awhile ago its supposed to shit on torrents in terms of dl speed. Sounds confusing though so I stay away from it.
