Both of my sons use MP3 Rocket. My oldest is a computer programmer and he won't use any other site.

if i were you i'd go to uTorrent.com and download that. and then use mininova.com or thepiratebay.com. you can download the whole album. as well as movies and loads of other cool stuff.

here is a link to

btjunkie - the largest bittorrent search engine

I have never been to a better torrent site, in my opinion it is better than any of the mentioned sites above.

Are those legal sites?

idk, the sites are legal, but the content that people upload onto them may not be legal.

What is the difference between these torrent sites and sites like Limewire or MP3 Rocket?

not as many viruses and you can download whole files. ie a whole album vs. just one song that you could only download with limewire.

Limewire is evil, and it wants your computer to die! lol

tru dat! limewire is baaaaad news...

very very bad news, i have had so many friends coming to me and asking them to fix there screwed up computers, and guess what the cause was for almost all of em, Limewire. there are so many Trojan horse viruses on the limewire network that get in undetected by anti-viruses software.

OK thanks. So these sights are safer as far as viruses. Would your anti-virus on your computer scan these files before it downloads? Thanks Guys!

it might catch some of them. but it's safer to go with torrents. i've never gotten a virus from a torrent. plus limewire is how they have been catching illegal downloads. and with torrents it's legal because it's file sharing. and there is nothing illegal about that.

with the torrent sites you can read comments that people have left about the file, and they will warn you if it is a virus or if it isnt what it claims to be. limewire has none of those features, it just has a file description.

That's pretty cool I might have to check a couple of them out.
