I don't even use Limewire anymore. It was okay, but now all those P2P's are so...eh.
I just use BitTorrent or Warez sites when I need to download (il)legal stuff. Nothing beats good 'ol RapidShare or MegaShare links. BitTorrent is fast, but it depends how many seeders there are.
one of the reasons i like bearshare is the layout. idk its just easy to navigate and looks good. a lot of p2p programs are too complicated and stuff, and they just look liek crap.
i used to use that waaayyy back in the day. my mom actually introduced me to it lol. it was pretty good too. but then i discovered you can downlaod programs with other p2p programs and i was like well screw winmx lol
