I say there does as I had problems with it when I used it. But others will tell you different.

The only gripe I have with LimeWire is the amount of system resources it tends to hog. I loved Winmx for its ease on your system.

I havn't had any spyware or virus's found on my computer since I started using the free version of limewire 2 weeks ago.

Unlike kazaa which used to fill my computer with junk

I run trend micro PC-cillin and microsoft anitspyware to keep that stuff in check though

It's a newsgroup/usenet client. It owns P2P, but isn't always free (depends on your ISP. My ISP (Shaw) offers 6 free Usenet servers for their users. You have to contact your ISP to get the necessary information (server address, username, password, etc.) I rarely download at less than 500 KB/s and usually download at more than 600 KB/s.

At 600 KB/s, you can download 100 MB (about the size of a long 192 kbps mp3 album) in 171 seconds (2 minutes and 51 seconds).

They also have a specific section for lossless audio, too. Why get MP3 when you can download that fast ?

The only problem with Newsgroups is that the selection is always changing, so you may not necessarily be able to get what you want when you want it.
