When people use limewire and download thousands of songs onto their computer, does their computer lag?

Question

cuz i want to start using limewire. is it a safe decision? and do i have to keep deleting songs to prevent my computer from lagging? should i start using limewire?

Answer 1

Oh yeaaaahhh!!!!  I stopped using limewire.  No matter what virus protection I'm running, it has caused me to get viruses on any computer I've downloaded to.  

Answer 2

I've had limewire for over 4 year and it hasn't given me any problems what so ever.

I do however recommend that once you download the free version you go to the programs option and download limewire pro. Make sure it's a zipped file. Others could harm your computer.

Answer 3

If you use basic limewire you will download spyware with every file that you download. If you use limewire pro than you should not worry about it. Limewire pro is for 20-30 dollars not sure but check the website. You can use a money order if you don't want to use a credit card online. With pro the downloads are safe, faster and there is more results.

Answer 4

limewire shouldnt make your computer lag BUT

everytime you download something it's stored in a shared folder

so others can download from you the same way you did

if your settings are not right alot of people could start trying to connect

your your pc at the same time taking up all your upstream bandwith

this will make your internet slow down maybe to the point you can't even get a web page to open all these connections will also take up memory and could make your pc lag if your limited

2 ways to stop this

1 in the limewire settings don't allow files to be shared

or

2 move the files from the shared folder to any other folder (so no you don't have to delete them just move them )

personaly i don't rate limewire id sooner download from newgroups or torrents myself

take no notice of hack47 he is clearly clueless their are no

100% safe ways to download on limewire

and dont be paying for the pro version of lime wire

download frostwire its a clean version of the lime wire software plus its free

Answer 5

don't worry, limewire is perfectly safe, i have had it for just about a year now, and my computer has never acted up because of it... just don't get imesh or something like that, THAT messes with your computer,

btw i have downloaded 1000's of songs its only you gotta be careful not to pick the obvious dodgy ones, cause limewire shows all the info of what your downloading, if it says the song runs for 2 seconds or if it has a p**n name, VIRUS, so thats all you gotta look out for. reallly really short run times and porny names. well there ya go, btw limewire has just so many songs, u will find everything you want on there.

Answer 6

1) SOFTWARE p****y IS THEFT! SO IS DOWNLOADING PIRATED AUDIO FILES!

2) LIMEWIRE AND ALIKES ARE HARMFUL AND WILL PROBABLY CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO GET INFECTED & INFESTED BY VIRUSES & TROJANS!
