im new to all this downloading music and stuff so i might sound abit thick. ive got 2meg unlimetted download broadband and was told when i downloaded limewire to only download tunes with the cable/dsl speed. whats the difference between the different speeds and can i safely download tunes with other speeds because some1 told me if i cant get a tune from a host in cable/dsl then to try T1 but only T1 and nothing else. if some1 can explain to me what i can and cant do i would be much appreciated.

You can download files from any speed without any ill effects. The problem is that there are a lot of fake files being spread about on the network and they tend to be from sources with the fastest connection speed(t3, t1, cable/dsl). This is not always the case but is a guidline to help increase your chances of finding good files. There are plenty of good files from sources with the faster connection speeds.

For more info on fake files and where they come from, follow the links in this post: Recognising Fake files.

And for tips on searching see: How to find music
