Ares is crap. The software is unreliable and the music selection isn't that great. Limewire is far, far better. Other than this recommendation, you don't need any help. Limewire's software and interface are as idiot-proof as can be.

If you use Limeware just make sure you don't share your entire directory or you are at risk of having charges filed against you. But Torrents are faster, and safer and they are the new file sharing. Limeware and Ares are on their way out.

I got limewire and the torrent. I already prefer limewire. I was able to get stuff I wanted quickly, while the torrent thing I was having to search all over the place.

Fair enough. I was simply presenting my experiences. Once you have three-four good sites that have what you are looking for torrents are just as effective.

Happy stealing.

Thanks for all the help, and thanks for not turning this into a debate on the ethics of downloading music.

No doubt. Why should I feel sorry for those multi-millionares, or an industry that ignored technology. Muck the RICAA and the MPAA.

Yeah, if you're just looking for individual songs, limewire is probably best. Torrents are great for full albums, tv, and I suppose movies, though I haven't attempted that.
