My daughter is telling me I should be using eDonkey, someone else said Kazaa and another person said to use LimeWire. Which free file sharing service do you use and what are the pros and cons? Thanks. Jeanette x

Use bittorrent, it has no spyware ulike the others you mentioned.

I use Morpheas, i used to use Kazaa, but it went down hill. Everyone cancels your downloads all the time!

I don't often use any of them. I've used kazaa and limewire. Kazaa is full of spyware, so limewire might be better. ask Paul Wray, he appears to be the expert

Hi Andy I'll take a look at that. I thought LimeWire was supposed to be spyware and adware free too. Paul.........I never knew that *she says trying her best to look innocent...........and failing miserably!* LOL

its OK if you just download the odd thing here and there, but those that use it all the time and never buy anything should be careful they don't get their collars felt

I've heard that said Paul. The youngest has got even less idea than me if you can believe it! But I'll let my 17 year old know. Thanks for the warning

supanova got shut down last year. Now its back up and running again - newnova.org Download the bit torrent first - full albums on there too. On a serious note tho - I do agree with Paul. Vikki xx
