Downloading music...help please

[Gib#244]

I have been using limewire and very rarely frostwire for a couple of years now - but just recently I can't seem to connect??

it will load onto the site but won't connect so you can start downloading songs.....

what do other people use?

 

[Rojer]

Its because Virgin or you internet provider are stopping you downloading anythings from well know sites. Use torrents or stuff like that to download. Im on a wireless network and im not blocked but my computer that is connected to the router and modem is haha.

Dont bother with any of that Limewire shite. Your next step is torrents or even better would be to sign up to a news group

Failwire! Full of s**t limewire is. As said get into torrents, much better

Yeah, Newsgroups FTW. Apart from the costs and setup (although minimal)

 

[The Boosh!]

I recently made the change to Usenet from my old and trusty private torrent site.

Newsdemon - £12pcm, 20 SSL connections, Unlimted downloads.
http://www.newsdemon.com/join-uk.php

You get NewsRover for free

Then just make a one off payment (£5) to NZBmatrix (http://nzbmatrix.com/index.php) where you get all of the Usenet content

so its 17 pound for ur first month than 12 month after?

why are they so much better than torrents

direct connection to news server, which pretty much means good consistent download speeds.. some anonimity if you use SSL etc.
