iPod nano, and Limewire.com ???

my brother just got a iPod nano, and wanted me to download songs for him from www.limewire.com , anyone else use this, or is there something better, faster? Is this legal? any help would be great!
thanks.

I use Ares, http://aresgalaxy.sourceforge.net/ , but limewire should be fine. Not legal to dl copywritten material without paying for it.

I use torrents. www.bitlord.com and www.torrentspy.com. It's not legal but you're worse off uploading then downloading.

Is limewire uploading?

Unshare all the files you download, then no you are not uploading them for people to download

chances for uk citizen to be busted uploading/ downloading??

approx 0.

I use Limewire but I'm gonna try that sourceforge one someone linked.

limewire is great for individual songs. Torrent/IRC is better for full albums. Its gotten to the point where there is a negligible time difference between grabbing a whole CD and an individual song so I havent downloaded an individual song in months.

And hey, if youre going to be a dirty thief, might as well be a dirty thief.

I've got an iPod video and I use uTorrent to download my torrents. Mainly I use mininova.org to get albums/movies/tv shows - I re-encode the videos myself unless there is a decent torrent for an mp4 version on ipodnova.tv

As for getting caught in the UK, I doubt it! Unless your d/ling 200gb+ per month of ilegal content. Uploading is more of a risk. I cap my upload speed to 20kbs and remove the torrent once I've completed - probably frowned upon by the 'community'!

i use forums where ppl post links to their files at rapishare and things. its the safest way, since you dont have to dl a client and you´re not dling via p2p but use a direct connection.

Those are awesome XTR. Unfortunately its been my experience that the downloads disappear quickly once a site realizes why one link is getting hammered so hard. So theyre either hard to find, or dont last long.

I have a DSL connection, and at limewire it takes 20mins to download a song, is this normal? Whats a standard time everywhere else?

I can build a play list faster than I can listen. Use the search feature and let the search run for a minute or two. Only pick songs with 10 or more people to download, or it takes too long.
