For what they are, they're about the biggest, so in that respect, I guess many would say "the best", but 2 problems:

1. You risk being a party to the illegal activity of downloading copyrighted material, and

2. Alot of porn and advertisments named as non-copyrighted materials.

it's okay. pretty fast depending on your own computer speed, and a lot of choices all the time. however, it only has 98% of the music out there. my personal list for downloads is:

1. windowsmedia.com OR gendou.com (anime stuff only)
2. limewire
3. google

but then again, i dont have a long list of download sites x__x

I had troubles in that I couldn't figure out how to turn off my firewall so others could download off of me, as if I'd want to. Who turns off their firewall?

consequently, people I would want to DL from kicked me off or refused the connection when they saw that I did not have any songs to offer.

tha's pretty rude, actually....lol...i 've been using limewire with, (so far), no problems....and, i turned off my firewall to allow them to get stuff from my library.
There are others popping up all the time, but right now i don't remember off hand. If u are interested, reply this one and i'll come up with the ones i was reccomended as well.

peace,

Limewire is good for finding relevant material, but it is so big that there is also has ALOT of bugs and porn on it. (which is fine if you want that )

So, just watch what you download, and if its a program you are after, make sure it comes to something round the approx file size, if its really little and your downloading a game that should be 400MB its most probably a nasty little virus!
