 It depends on whether you try to not download viruses or not. Don't download programs or games, that includes zip files that just happen to be exactly what you are looking for. Look at filesize. The the file seems too small then it really isn't what you are looking for. And last but not least, use common sense when looking at the search results. Also you might want to read the stickies in the Limewire section, the ones pertaining to the network that is.
__________________ note: All banners are clicky links     Limewire 4.12.3 / Newest Phex / Newest Azureus I recommend using either an old Limewire version without BitTorrent support or Phex for Gnutella, Azureus is BitTorrent. None of this Limewire Gnutellatorrent hybrid crap.  |

| There isn't any p2p filesharing program which is safe, since in decentral p2p, noone can control what people share. As far as we know, Phex itself doesn't facilitate spreading virusses, but as Sleepless said: When you download somethign which contains a virus and then open it, you get one. Best make sure, that you have a decent virus scanner with updated virus definitions. And scan every file you download before opening it.

| Phex is exactly as safe as LimeWire - which isn't safe either  There is not much "safe" filesharing around...
