I think a lot of ppl moved onto Frostwire a long time ago, due to Limewire being filled with virus.

Using anything but torrent or newsgroups is major fail. Limewire and the like are just havens for viruses and malware.
Guess someone's gotta keep the GeekSquad in business though  | |

I've been using limewire for many years and have never got a virus from it. Be smart and don't download fake songs that are 500kb and make sure they have bitrates on them (ei. 128kbps,192kbps,256kbps)

Limewire was great for single songs if you don't want the rest of the album.

You can choose individual songs to download even if a torrent contains an entire album.

Haven't used LimeWire in ages. For individual songs I just google "song name" and add "zshare" or "zippyshare" at the end.

But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

does anyone know how to avoid songs that will end up being "more souces needed"? Half of the time I press look for more resources it never finds any. I'm on frostwire and it's alright for single songs.

Newsgroups above all. No elitist attitudes commonly attributed with private FTPs, IRC channels, torrent sites, message boards, etc. Just sign up with a news provider, go on nzbs.org/newzbin/nzbmatrix, and download. If you're on Shaw, you can skip the first step, since they provide 30 days retention with their news service.
Best of all, you don't have to share anything. No stupid quotas to fill. Even better, it's very nature makes it very hard to shutdown.
