Peerless--I couldn't find the fairly recent post on slashdot that repeated the claim that there were "no, none, zip, nada" viruses written for OSX, 60-some for OS 9 and Linux each, but I did manage to find a repeat of the usual "Nyeah nyeah OSX has no viruses" kind of discussion on http://www.undergroundmac.com/forums...pic=2420&st=20 , where one poster claimed to have found a couple. That was interesting, since the only other one I'd heard about was at http://macbuyersguide.com/solutions/security/ ., contained in a 30.5 KB file called "DVD studio pro 2 [k].sit." I have tried to search for it several times on LimeWire with no 'luck'--maybe Poisoned can be more successful.

I agree with you about the leeching, and so does the developer (Julian Ashton) http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=330

btw Ursula, I was not doing anything illegal by downloading those music files for my own personal use, but it would have been an copyright infringement to share them. http://www.canfli.org/modules.php?op...es&id_cat=2#28

rubaiyat, go to http://magnetdb.ath.cx/viewtopic.php?t=16 and download my magnet (it's just a 2MB .jpg). Let me know what kind of speeds you get and maybe we can get some decent info on what the problem is.
