I'm using Limewire because, not only did Kazaa give popups out your mom's butt, but the filters were so much worse there, you could find some kind of pornography in any video search I did, it was horrible. It ended up ruining the computer beyond reapair, and the speed of the computer dropped incredibly. And, trust me, it wasn't a virus, I can deal with those.

I have had limewire for about 2 months now and apart from one or two viruses [i don't download anything off programmes now] and the annoying "Not what it says it is" thing i like it a lot.I downloaded Kazza and my spyware/anti-virus went bonkers it said bassically it was full of un-removable spyware and a virus that was basically a keylogger.Well i went on the internet and read nothing but bad things about it so i deleted it all scanned the computer and there where a lot more than original thought.My advise don't touch Kazza with a broom handle it's is rubbish.
My friend has it and he says his computer is running slow all the time and his spyware keeps finding new things just off the kazza prgramme.I asked him why he downloaded it after such bad press and it appears that most dance/dj's/house/techno mp'3's live there it suppose to be the best place to download dance music.
Me personally wouldn't download it again ever.

I would have to say recently limewire is defently beating kazaa and kazaa has alot adware not spyware anymore and its slow, the only thing i find on kazaa anymore is older songs and files, those torrents are just sucky for finding rare files

A friend of mine had Kaaza for his teenage son. They bought the entire package with AV maybe two years ago. When I told them about LW we did some comparison searches. LW was bringing in on average about 10x the number of returns than Kazza. Once the test results were obvious they dumped Kazza and installed LW.
