I haven't used kazaa for a long time now but I used to get all kinds of stuff from it.

almost all file sharing applications are illegal anyway

It's true. You know that someone could be sued in US if they download music using pear-to-pear software.

Ya but since millions of users do it it's virtually impossible to police.

Bearshare is better anyhow.

I stopped using it because it sucked but that was years ago, I heard it's much better now.

I also know some peeps using Limewire and they say it's the shizzle now.

Those are the very apps, which contain all the adware everyone's compaining about. Get rid of file-sharing, and you'll rid PCs of potential infestation of all the crapola.

I don't know guys.

I sometimes use torrents and there are some hubs in my area that are quite good (for me).

There was a news a few month ago, that in the US the police captured a lot of computers that were part of some hub, and that is illegal. But every computer user has or it is using this kind of stuff.

Clau,
What is torrent? a file sharring software?
