I haven't downloaded music in YEARS, so I'm not too sure what I should be using...any suggestions as to what site is the safest? (ie: no viruses) and free? I used to use Limewire and never had much of a problem with it, but my g/f's comp just kicked the bucket 'cuz of some nasty virus it got off of there...
thanks in advance :)
torrent?
idk, i havent been downloading music either :S
ususally, i just find a website that hosts the music and find the orignal url using page source:D

search the album name followed by the term "rapidshare." like this "in rainbows rapidshare" it's a direct download, no torrenting or anything required and it's fast.

^That's awesome! thanks so much for link.
I've been using realestniggas.com but there are so many damn annoying pop-up adds and harder to find longs i like.
Its also a forum and really unorganized.
Awesome link man, even mediafire! so much faster and no wait time.
Can't thank you enough.

Yup, this is the best method combined with music blogs. You can also search "$$$$$$$$$$", "speedyshare" and other storage sites but I recommend you find some music blogs because you’ll be downloading new releases everyday and don’t have to waste time searching the net for music.
I'm still amazed people waste time with torrents when sites like rapidshare are much quicker and safer and have huge amounts of content available.

yeah i did that. Havent used my limewire for a year or so and now it doesnt even connect. Tried looking at the firewall restrictions and limewire was allowed but still didnt work. There were other options on the internet about fixing it but I downloaded Bearshare instead. Bearshare is pretty decent but not close to limewire.

google youtube downloader and it will link you to several sites that let you take the url and then dl the track. quality isnt as good as id like, but its the only way to get some rarer tracks.

i'm having trouble finding one, i'm on the firefox add-on page, the ones i've seen are just the video downloaders, i'm hoping to download just the track.
any suggestions?

drag and drop the youtube link in there. it will turn it into a mp4. i can play it in my winamp no problems and if you want to put it in your car or something there are trillions of programs you can use to convert it to mp3 or .wav. Like i said though, you're never really going to get the best quality with this method but sometimes I just cant find a track any other way.

ant.com is a good video downloader though. my porn collection has been growing exponentially since i'm able to just dl red tube's entire line up in one big session.

mirc and ftp is the best if you know how to use them. If not then use limewire pro and just have an up to date anti virus and you should have no problems :)

what.cd and waffles.fm for torrents
if you don't use either you're a newb

stupid question.... but since mediafire, or rapidshare etc aren't based in canada, are we still allowed to download from them without worrying about prosecution?
