because it slows down my laptop :I

what do you guys use, that isn't a ridiculously huge file like limewire and doesn't have a high rate of viruses?

A couple friends of mine use MP3 Rocket. Not sure about the rate of viruses, but they say they've never had a problem with it. :)

Edit: There are plenty of legal games, programs, books, music and videos that people can download using P2P programs. I know I do, because it's faster for me to download a freeware program from several thousand hosts rather than one heavily bogged down website.

Not everyone using LimeWire or other services are blatantly ignoring copyright laws.

Sorry, can't discuss illegal things here on subeta. Programs used to download music/movies you didn't purchase, is illegal.
