Hi friends
Just thought I would share an url where I have found almost every program or music CD I have ever wanted
I am sure many of us old timers already know of it - the noobies might gain something though.
As a word of caution - the site does contain a lot of files which are actually porn, however you can right click on the progress bar (when it changes colour to blue) and check under the "details" tab, if it is the correct or bogus file - you will soon see
Most of the audio CDs are zipped up as .rar files - download Winrar and crack code from the site and they you have it.
enjoy

No version for Mac? But will check on my kitchen pc though...
Using Limewire, but don't download much. Miss those Napster days, so perhaps I should check it out.

thanks bajaman

Hi Modman - what, no PC
Even a shitty old 386 or 486 wll allow you to use emule
I have a friend who uses a Mac - but he is on big money, so actually BUYS CDs
Napster was great, but emule is much better in my humble opinion - what would you like
Cheers
Steve

I see you have one in the kitchen

to check emails and recipes while cooking!
to do downloads and play music

mac for recording music being online while being virus free

yeah will install e-mule and have a look, but don't don't like these little internet add-ons that emule and others use. might be spyware...

j

ahem..

http://www.utorrent.com/ + http://btjunkie.org/ = lots of downloads (type in "electronics" into http://btjunkie.org)
http://www.slsknet.org/ = rare music.

nuff said.

http://www.warez-bb.org
but it'll make you want a rapidshare account however,
when using a peer to peer sharing software application you upload at the same time as downloading which is when the movie and record companies go after you,
emule is great tho it was my choice till I found warez-bb
might edit this and delete the link after a few days, just in case it causes trouble with the IP police, enjoy

http://www.demonoid.com

Only site I download from.. invitation only (sometimes they have open days for people to join), and literally everything on there is what it says it is!

any good mac friendly sites out there?

i refuse to submit my computer to limewire. too much drek on my home comp from that site.

Demonoid has a Mac section, complete with sub-sections, ad quite a lot of Mac software!
BTW, I'm a strict Mac user

Just get a good Torrent program for Mac (I use one called Transmission), and away you go!

If you understand/know how to use torrent's, IMHO it's 1000% better and safer than P2P software like Limewire or anything else...

i never did the torrent thing. i guess i'll have to give it a look.
is there a good place to go for a "how to" of some sort?

Just did a quick search and after a quick browse this one seems pretty good :

http://www.nowplayinglyrics.com/torrents.html

One tip though is to view the files inside the torrent before you download it, just to make sure you can open the filetypes and what files are there etc, this can be done any almost every torrent site

Also, be sure to check comments on a torrent to see if people are having trouble or anything

Hope it goes well

Just wondering if eMule is anything like uTorrent......

ditto

There are trackers far more private than demonoid, if you have the right friends. However, they also tend to have extremely strict rules for invitations.

everything I've wanted to find lately I've found posted on blogspot. there is so much free music linked to filsharing sites it's ridiculous- much of which is quite rare. a quick google search can usually get me there, and I don't need to mess with any outside programs. I find this truly the easiest possible way to go these days.
