    well ive realized how much limewire sucks, and how you cant get alot of songs on it, so i was wondering what do you guys use (if you think its better than limewire)?

    like with utorrent, i have to first search for it on miniova.com, then you click download and it automatically downloads in utorrent, is this the correct way to do it? like i find utorrent/minova.com is good for downloading movies or albums, but not specific songs

    google. put this in google: "album title" megaupload

    or go to blogsearch.google.com and then search for whatever you're looking for and include megaupload, rapidshare, or download.

    g2p.org is quite good...google based prgram that lets you search for albums and search results just show downloadable files. Also i use limewire pro for most songs but with loads of virus and spyware blockers and things but yeah limewire is balls

    well once you find it on the sites, what program do they download on?

    because with utorrent, i have to find it first on miniova, then it transfers to utorrent

    So you're looking for a P2P program, rather than a torrent program. Limewire and Napster = P2P.

    BitTorrent - I tend to download whole albums and discographies through it

    but I still use Limewire on rare occasion for a song here and there

    ok, so at g2p, i typed in a bunch of different stuff in the looking for: section, and each time it said

    Your search - intitle:index.of +”last modified” +”parent directory” +(mp3|wma|ogg) +"Daft=; i=; on=; dark=" -htm -html -php -asp - did not match any documents.

    Suggestions:
    Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
    Try different keywords.
    Try more general keywords.
    Try fewer keywords.

    Most of the files on megaupload and rapidshare and their ilk are .rars. So you need to download WinRar, which only takes a couple of minutes. You download the .rar file, use winrar to open it and extract the files to a folder on your comp. Then just go that folder, find the files and open them in your favorite media player.

    that sounds way more complicated than it actually is :p

    okay, so someone explain torrents, for example bittorrent, would i have to go to a specific site or the sites some people mentioned to find the album, like i do with utorrent (miniova.com)?
