LimeWire ip address?

Its a peer to peer NETWORK it doesn't have an IP address

If you cancel download halfway through using LimeWire are parts of that file still on the computer or are they deleted. If not how can I delete them and save space?

go to the Library, and then click on Incomplete Files on the left side menu. There should also be a folder somewhere in the Documents folder or Downloads or something, a folder called Incomplete. But LimeWire will delete the files after a few days anyway, you should be able to change how many days in the options

How can people get caught using LimeWire?

Every computer in the world (connected to the internet, that is) has a special "number" called an "IP Address" sortof like a phone number, or physical address. When your computer is connected to a p2p program (in this case, limewire) People you download music from, and also people who download music from you, can see your IP Address. Once they have that address you can go to the internet and pin-point the exact location of the IP Address (your physical address) Thus, finding you, thus considering yourself...."Caught"....so if you don't want to get caught (probably a good thing) then either, 1. Dont download off of limewire 2. Invent a way to block your IP Address.....or 3. ....DONT DOWNLOAD!!! or 4. Go to websites like YouTube and find the song you want, then RECORD it yourself...and then dont put it in a shared folder that other people have access to.

Actually, you a very very very slim chance of ever getting caught if you:

1. create a new folder, and select limewire to share ONLY that folder

2. create a new folder, and select limewire to download ONLY to that folder.

3. throw a bunch of random stuff in the folder to be shared (like make a bunch of word documents with gibberish or something that isn't illegal to share)

It is still illegal to download pirated music, but you likely won't get in trouble. Only people who share the stuff regularly get caught doing anything.

Has anyone been prosecuted for using LimeWire?

It is not illegal for anyone to use Limewire. It is simply illegal to download copyrighted files on Limewire, and the only people who may be charged for this is the original downloader. When other Limewire users download the existing file, it is simply called "file sharing," and it is most definetly not illegal.

Soooo....no, no one has been prosecuted for using Limewire-just for downloading coyrighted files on to Limewire. If you aren't copyrighting anything, you have not broken the law, and have simply participated in file sharing.

Why you can't connect to LimeWire 4.14.8?

More than likely, you are blocked by a firewall, either by your network server, or even the router that you are going through to get to the internet. Try turning off the Windows Firewall by going through the Control Panel and click on the icon "Windows Firewall". Good luck.

How do you use bit torrent on LimeWire?

Torrent sites such as thepiratebay.org, mininova, and many others are used for file sharing. Although there is a great controversy about its legality, it is still widely practiced by the web surfers.

People can get almost anything (software, songs, movies, games, etc.) they want for free (that's why it's controversial).

If you want to download something using a torrent site, here's the procedure:

1. download a torrent downloader (utorrent/bitlord)

2. Go to www.torrentz.com and then type the keyword of what you want to download

3. READ COMMENTS. If the comments say positive things to the torrent, then download it. If they say bad things about it, do not download.

4. After downloading the torrent, double click the torrent file. This act will open the application you installed in step 1. This will start the download of the file you want.

Note:

Please know that this is ILLEGAL. The purpose of this post is to share knowledge and not to promote piracy.

BitTorrent (or simply Torrent)

To know more about torrent, go here:

Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28protocol%29

This method was introduced to me by a friend. As far as I know, this is the safest method I have ever tried. All you have to do is to search for a torrent, read comments about it, and then download! Here's the procedure:

Step 1

Download and install one of the following

uTorrent

BitLord

Step 2

Go to www.torrentz.com. This site is like Google. It is a search engine for torrents. You just type in the file you wanted to download (e.g. game, software, etc). Results will then be displayed like a list. From the list, you may choose and click. You will be given the list of websites where you can download the torrent file. (e.g. mininova, thepiratebay, etc.)

Step 3

After being redirected to the website you clicked, you may now download the torrent BUT before you do so, I advice you to READ COMMENTS. Not all torrents are working fine and worse, some contain virus that may crash your PC (like what I have experienced T_T). From other users' comments, you may find out if the torrent you will be downloading is in good shape. If there are no comments, I think you should not download it and let someone try it first. Say comments are okay with the torrent, proceed to the download.

Step 4

Downloading the torrent does not actually mean you already have the file you wanted. Torrent is just a trigger to the download. To start the download, double click the torrent. This will call for the application we installed in step#1. That should begin the download.

Step 5

You wait

Step 6

Enjoy your file :)

Can you use a file sharing program like LimeWire or Bitcomet on a cell phone?

I would imagine not and for 2 reasons. First and foremost (not necessarily my belief) is the legal aspect of the programs. Peer to peer programs are under constant scrutiny by various trade groups especially the RIAA who always blame slacking CD sales and online purchase downloads due to such programs. For that reason it would probably be near impossible to download or install on a phone simply because the provider could get in hot legal water for "allowing" their subscribers access to free downloads. Secondly, the download speeds would probably not be that great unless you have a high end broadband service but that's usually reserved for people with laptops.

Is LimeWire illegal ... if not is it illegal to download songs?

Limewire is illegal and so are songs that are downloaded off the Internet so I suggest if you have dowloaded a song from the Internet, you should delete it but that's my opinion.

Where's your IP Address in LimeWire?

They don't have it. It's confidental.

You have Norton running can you use LimeWire without getting any spyware etc?

First off in my opinion you have poor virus protection. It is a resource hog and not one of the best to start with. I will probably get slammed for that statement, but it is my opinion based on computers I have seen get a virus while running Norton. Limewire is a peer to peer sharing program. Anytime you share files, there is always the possibility of getting a Virus, Trojan, Spyware, etc. If you insist, just remember to always save the file to a dedicated downloads folder. Scan that file with Norton before you ever move it to your music files. Now if you insist on paying for protection then I would recommend http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/personal.htm But is you want to save your money then here is what I have been using for 2 virus free years. It is free to home users and is very user friendly and updates every 6 hours. http://www.avast.com/i_kat_207.php?lang=ENG Your money, your choice. there is a version of limewire that is clean go to spybot search and destroy website the list which programs like limewire are best FYI my son put a copy of Limewire on my system a few years ago and I literally could not clean it up and had to wipe and reload the drive, if you remove Norton (and I would) go to add/ delete programs remove what you can and then do a search on "Norton removal tools" I personally use pctools spyware doctor with anti-virus , it catches trojans faster than any virus software I have ever seen , or use it with out anti-virus (spyware is a bigger problem) I like ESET NOD32 small footprint good price also remove norton BEFORE loading the new stuff the other products do not like the norton removal tool

Why use LimeWire and kazaa if everything is illegal on it?

Why run a red light or keep a wallet you find instead of turning it in? Just because something's illegal or wrong doesn't mean people won't do it. Grabbing music from the internet is so easy that it's hard to resist for a lot or people. The government is getting hip to this and is beginning to prosecute the biggest offenders.
