Yes, the basic package is free, but you must pay if you want to update to LimwirePro, which isn't neccessary.

Cool Thanks but are all the downloads free as well?
-
yeah they are.i just uninstalled mine though. ive been having serious issues with it since i installed it.

You're right....LimewirePro isn't needed but helps with the speed and pop-up advertising crap... Everything you download is free except for some of the porn... they let you download it but you have to require a license from them to watch it... You might also check out Bearshare. They have an excellent free version available that is good...I recommend changing the options so you can download items but nobody can upload from your computer.... I just find it comforting to know ....
Good luck and be responsible when downloading music. It's quite controversial these days...

some P2P networks will penalise you for blocking uploads. They grant bandwidth on a kind of fairness ratio.I've been fairly successful with shareaza

I use limewire.
It is all free.
I try to download things that are at a speed of T3, it goes faster that away.

Ive tried them all and Limewire is the fastest by a long shot. I cant believe that it takes Shareaza somtimes hours just to connect to something that has 1000 hosts. Its just harder to surf the net with it going because it takes so much bandwidth, which is adjustable under tool. You can filter searches also like get rid of asx and wm because those are the ones that try to connect to the net to get a liscence. Also avoid any files under 1MB if your looking for programs or games, the search result will be 99% viruses, so its slim pickins. And by the way, make sure you delete files that never got downloaded under incomplete folder, they can take alot of hardrive. If you have a Pentium 1 or2 with under 256MB of ram, the program will cripple your computer.

you can download limewire pro for free off of regular limewire, if you know what your doing. but if your not good at figuring out whats the real deal, i wouldnt reccomend it becuase you'll probably end up with a virus
