How can you use LimeWire so it's not illegal?

Limewire itself is not illegal. What is illegal is the downloading and uploading of copyrighted material. If you download your favorite copyrighted song instead of buying it, it is considered an illegal act. If you download a song that is offered to the public free of charge (and allowed by the license), it would not be illegal.

A common misconception is that if you buy Limewire Pro, you can download songs for free. This is not true.

There is no way to legally download copyrighted songs for free that are not offered to you from the recording label.

You are perfectly welcome to download anything offered to the public free of charge within the bounds of the license.

For example, it would be illegal to download Microsoft Office (which is copyrighted), but it would not be illegal to download OpenOffice.org (which is open source).

Is downloading torrents illegal?

No, it's what you download with them that is illegal. Some things are illegal but others are Public Domain, so those are legal. It likely depends on the particular file and the downloader's geographically location. It's been treated as a civil matter thus far.

Something else to keep in mind is computer viruses. Even torrents you can legally download will give you those.

I was downloading a film using utorrent and my download stopped at 99.4 percent . why does this happened?

There are a couple of possible reasons.

2. There may not be a full copy of the download available form the people you are connected to on the torrent. Check the "Avail." column of uTorrent-if it is showing 1.0 or above, then this is not the issue. If it is showing .994, then this is the issue.

What happened to limewire?

limewire is in a lot of trouble for doing or helping with the sharing of illegal downloads to music, videos, ebooks, etc. if you have visited it recently there is a legal court notice that blocks anyone from using the site. the limewire team have mentioned about making something new but in the mean time you can use frostwire, which is a tacky rip-off of limewire. its similar to limewire but not as good. it also doesnt have as much variety of songs.

Thee new 1 is called " grooveshark"
