The one problem i noticed in the past when using limewire (for whatever reason, i need not discuss what i used the p2p client for) was the amount of viruses appearing on many downloads. This is a major concern, and limewire should work toward incorporating a scanning technique to help block these potentially harmful files, especially when some users will not realise the file, be it mp3, avi or anything else for that matter, could contain viruses, and when the end user does happen to find out, its too late in some cases, and they are already infected.

Would be good to see some progress further from the “this file could potentially be harmful to your computer” which doesnt offer the oportunity to scan the file first.

use sababadc and see what is the best p2p.

I restrict my occasional LimeWire use to find some specific mp3’s. That seems to have become more difficult nowadays, though, since there’s much spam around there. However, I believe for many it is either “download the stuff via p2p” or don’t get the thing at all. I mean, it’s certainly not a choice between “steal” or “buy”, at least not for me.

This story scares me…
