You should ALWAYS use Limewire and NOT Kazaa. Limewire is the safer of the two. I know this b/c I have used both of them and limewire which uses hashing is safer.

ALWAYS use PeerGuardian or another firewall when you are filesharing. When you use PeerGuardian while you are filesharing, you will not believe who is trying to connect and scan your computer. PeerGuardian blocks all known evil connection requests for the riaa or its friends.

You chances of getting sued by the RIAA are very small.

2,000 sued/10,000,000 filesharing=1 in 5,000.
