Agreed with Ross and RV. Limewire FTL -- FTML even. Torrents FTW.

Ronnie Rowlands February 16, 2008 4:24 PM

I have still had no decent argument against songs coming from it other than gay noob net speak.

Epic failure.

With torrents you have less of a chance of getting a corrupted file.

But hey, if it works for you go for it. :P

You also have a chance of being hit by a meteor if you go outside.

The only problem I have ever had with Limewire was when I downloaded Best of you by the Foo Fighters. As it has been made much louder, besides that Limewire has given me no problems,

Ben Dawson February 16, 2008 8:15 PM

See, Limewire should never be used, it ****ed up a great Foo Fighters song.

Ronnie Rowlands February 17, 2008 5:59 AM

well no, it's whoever edited it. Limewire itself didn't change the song, just the person who made it available on the net.

Chris Britton February 17, 2008 10:57 AM

Ronnie is right, I don't understand why they had to make it louder when you could just download it as normal and just turn the volume up. I have to turn it down >.<

Thats my only qualm with Limewire, in that quality varies, i should just face reality for a change and get an iTunes account.

Jamie Minty February 17, 2008 1:37 PM

They'll never be able to pull this off!

Chris Britton February 17, 2008 3:41 PM

Exactly, thats the reality.

China has, why would the UK be any different?

Because the UK isn't communist?

Irrelevant. Jamie's comment was in reference to technical ability, not governmental power. RV pointed out that China was able to do it so the UK will be able to do so as well if they do go forward with this wholeheartedly.

You don't have to be communist to be authoritarian.

That's not difficult.

Chris Britton February 18, 2008 12:33 PM

Well it goes to show if thats easy, then so should be the ability to stop people form using torrents, however in this day and age there is always a way to slip under the closed door.

If they really wanted to crack down, they could. They're just not for the time being.

It's a shame then that the inards of your computer will no longer be of good quality.
