Kazza???
What program should I save to download music. Don't give me anything I have to pay for... A Pirates Life For Me!

Is E-Donkey worth a flip? Kazaa? Others?

It has to be free though. Thanks.

1. Don't use Kazaa, it's watched by the RIAA
and make SURE the program you use doesn't automatically share! Turn sharing off if you're only going after music.

3. Plus Kazzaa installs ALL kinda of spyware crap
that'll really screw up your computer -- as does LimeWire.

I'm pretty sure eDonkey is safe, so long as you turn OFF sharing. That's where they get you.

Uses E-Donkey, and Gnutella 1 and Gnutella 2 networks. Oh and can also be used to download Bit torrents as well.

12. The do's and don'ts of p2p:
1. Don't use Kazaa. If you want to use the Sharman network, use K++
2. Say no to eDonkey. It's full of spyware and viruses
3. Say YES to virus and spyware protection: use Spybot Search&Destroy
4. BitTorrent is ok. Try http://tracker.piratbyran.org/
5. Suprnova.ORG has made exeem. I'm looking into it, it looks good. www.exeem.com or www.suprnova.org
6. For the ultimate in file sharing, you need to use the old fashioned techniques. Two words come to mind: IRC FTP.

20. E Donkey or Newsgroups
All others are a joke.


BitTorrent ruled, before it was brought down by the mighty weight of the American consumer who only wants monetary free transactions for their entertainment goods. Their mouth is open wide, and staring at the sun, staring at the see, soon it will be hard to breath.

22. You can track down KazaaLite - that's a better, safer version.

It blocks the RIAA and other bad guys
