True enough, and neither have I been able to resist temptation in that dept, I was simply pointing out there are legitimate uses besides, like I downloaded Bruce Eckles Programming books which are freeware books (and very good also).

If this is because people close out Freeloaders, how many tracks to you have to have on your machine to stop this from happening? I usually keep between 60 - 100, as I don't have a lot of memory space left on my PC (less than a Gb, in fact). [/B]

The main problem with the Gnucleus client that Morpheus swiped is that it is not the current version, it wasn't even an upgraded version, it was just a quicky that Swabby put out to fix a specific bug like months ago... there have been many improvements since, and I type all this because Ive seen a lot of bashing of the client by the Morpheus users who don't realize what theyre getting..sigh

I asked a question about it in the Limewire forum but no-one has answered it (and I had version 1.3.1, so its not because its looking for the wrong version). So I downloaded Bearshare last night but haven't had a chance to try it properly yet. Seems very slow to connect, though. 15 mins now and its still trying.
Maybe I will try your suggestion, as I'm getting nowhere fast with the others. Thanx [/B]

I been testing out limewire a bit and, I gotta tell ya the new Java Runtime 1.4.0 is much more reliable, but you gotta go get it from sun.com (9mb) and install it then it should work fine.
If u are interested in mp3s blubster is the best right now, and lots of people seem to be discovering it so lots more tunes are appearing.. only bad thing is no auto resume (oh yeah and a cheesy looking website, but it functions well)
Have fun ..... and if you are asked if you ever do anything illegal online JUST SAY NO!!!!
