let me get this straight
 

i download limewire and i can download free music is it that simple

There are no download fees. The only time you'll pay is if you decide to get LW Pro, which costs $18.88.
:)

Yes it is that simple with the music stuff yes it's great and you will be happy 99 times out of 100.Theres is some excellent music on there i have found some really obscure bands and un-released tracks you can't get anywhere else.It's a great resource to "try before you buy".

I have tried to get the free version but keep getting redirected to the page that wants my visa number?
What do i have to do to get a simple download?
thanks.:confused:

Go here:

It can be that you might get redirected to "download.com" if the servers of LW are busy. But they will offer you also the free version.

I tried all avenues and always et redirected to the pay here page.
:mad:

At some point you will see a button that says "Get Basic".
That's the free version.

Well after clicking on the basic one it sends me to downloads.net. I select download it askes the Operating system the a box comes upsaying it can't be verified then the next box says the installer I am trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.
:mad:

Try the direct download then. ;]

Hey thanks,
I was able to get it ok. Now just have to find the sharded file to put it on the desk top for access to the songs but seem o be having trouble locating it.;)

It's the first thing in the options: "Saving"

I actually saw that but can't figure out how to put it on my desk top.
We have etomi on the other computer and it came with its own file that the song just went into and it was on the desktop automatically.
I think I got slapped with the stupid stick.:rolleyes:

I've never downloaded a file sharing program, because frankly, I'm scared of getting "caught" downloading music and I'm really confused about LimeWire. If I just download the basic version, is it still illegal to download music/picures/videos? When I get to the part of the download where I have to select "I may/may not use LimeWire for copyright infringement" I'm scared of what will happen when I select one of them. Does buying the Pro version cover me legally from downloading music, etc.? Like I said, Im very new at this and I'm sure this is a pretty stupid question lol Thanks for your time anyways!

Downloading music is illigal according to the RIAA. Dont share massive amounts of files and they wont catch you. If you share over a thousand, they will hunt you down. All files are copyrighted by the music artist and their label, so therefore, it is NOT free, just shared by fellow users. ;)
