I have finally decided it is time to leave the world of Kazaa and all those sites which seem to fill my pc with spyware and do the decent thing and pay to join a legal one (in fact someone on here once made a barbed comment to me about illegal downloading !) Anyway ... what I wondered is ... if I pay for a site which is the best, and is there the large selection that there used to be on what used to be my favourite WinMx which has now disappeared, or is it only what they offer. In other words are we still sharing, and if so now that it is a paysite will there be as many people on there as there used to be when you could find all sorts of unusual old tracks ???? Thanks in advance.

There are hacks that can get WinMX going. http://www.slyck.com/winmx.php . As they've not been widely adopted, I would imagine that the selection isn't as wide as it was. (Personally, I thought WinMX sucked when it was fully operational).


Anyway, if you are "sharing" rather than downloading from a dedicated server (eg iTunes, Napster etc etc), then it is still illegal unless the copyright holder has specifically granted the right to free distribution of their work. Paying for P2P seems pointless - why pay for the privilege of breaking the law?

DC++ isn't as idiot proof as things like limewire but I think the quality of the downloads is less likely to be bad. Same applies to torrents - I would have more faith in the quality of those.

Well, if you want a legal site, try http://www.allofmp3.com/, it is not a file sharing site at all. You join (which costs nothing) then you fill your balance (that is pay in advance) and then download what you like. For example you can put $US20 on your account. You are debited $US0.02 per MB, regardless of what you download, Classical, Pop, new releases etc, the selection is large. You can download single songs or entire albums in WAV, MP3 at various compression rates, etc. You can also download previews of songs/albums to see if you like them - you pay nothing for previews.


I know people in Oz (including me), the US, New Zealand, Canada, and Singapore who use it and none of us have had any problem at all, we have not been able to attribute any spam to the site and have had no problems with anything we have downloaded - this does not mean you do not take precautions.

Thanks everyone :)

I am very impressed with the customer service from Mykazaagold I just want you to know that I have been �shopping� for a download service to join for about 2 weeks. I think I've visited and researched just about every site there is. I have to say but the customer support of mykazaagold�s fast responses to my questions were the clincher in deciding to join.
Try http://www.mykazaagold.com
The best place to download music.
Kazaa Platinum http://www.kazaa-platinum.com recently came into market. I bought it & I think this was the best choice I ever made.

It gives me specific results for my music & movie downloads, unlike Limewire or any other Kazaa.
It also gives a free anti virus programme , free Ipods/ Mp3 transfer software, free CD burning software free, all in just 29.50 $ one time lifetime fee.

I must say it is a revoultion in music / movies downloads.

Try http://www.kazaa-platinum.com

I think , this was the best choice I ever made in regards of music/movie downloads.

More search results than any other music download company

Perfectly legal & copyrighted
