Answer 3

Yes, best way is through bittorrent. Bittorrent is a way of downloading through a "client" or program from an online source. You download the client and then download a torrent file. you open the file in your client and it starts downloading the actual file that you want.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ for the client

http://thepiratebay.org/ to find the files (in your case music)

Make sure you scan everything for viruses before you open it

Answer 4

I use uTorrent and it's never given me a virus, plus you can download full albums or just pick from a few songs off the album.

Answer 5

Every piece of software is going to have some kind of exploit, but there are several things you can do in order to keep yourself safe no matter what PC or operating system you use.

1. Be careful what type of sites you visit. There are many unscrupulous websites out there that will readily infect your machine with a virus or adware.

2. Instead of downloading music, go to the store and buy the CD or buy the MP3’s from legit sites. Not only will you avoid any financially difficult legal situation, you'll also avoid any website that promises free MP3 downloads but only delivers viruses and adware.

3. Instead of looking for software cracks or serials online, look for coupons. The "crackz" scene is filled to the brim with malicious websites. You're not safe when you're visiting these "seedier" websites.

4. Do not run in Administrator mode. You should only run in Administrator mode when you're installing hardware or software, but running in a lower security mode you'll avoid a lot of the more invasive attacks.

Answer 6

Get bittorrent software like utorrent.

Answer 7

Free p2p download sites can't be trusted to be virus-free! The only defense is a good anti virus that monitors/scans your downloads as you make them.

Answer 10

honestly, you can't use a program like limewire without getting viruses. if you really want to be safe about downloading music get this video to mp3 converter:

http://www.freewarefiles.com/Free-Video-...

you can go on youtube or any other site that has music videos and get tracks off there. it's pretty self-explanitory, so i don't have to tell you how to use it. it's not as easy and fast as limewire, but it is 100% virus safe! the reason it is safe and limewire isn't is that limewire is a p2p thing and people can put whatever programs/files/mp3s they want under any name they want. for example, they could take a virus and call it shake it by metro station and when you download it, you have a virus!
