Downloading in College

[Natakid.]

My university must block Limewire and all those because now that I'm at college Limewire doesnt connect at all. This has to be some sort of anti-piracy thing. Is there any other option besides bittorent?

allofmp3.com It's not 100% for free, it's 2 cents per mb and you can choose your bitrate and type of encoding.

irc

i use "our tunes" in conjunction with itunes to share music off the LAN in my dorm.

It's 100mbps so i can d/l a song in less than a second. I have 5500 mp3s now.

same thing with me, my ares and limewire doesnt work... sucks cuz i only have a play list of 10 songs

BitTorrent?

 

[>>>Kyle<<<]

ourTunes and MyTunes are your best bet. You can see if torrents work, if not you may need to go IRC.

If you want to go the legal route (probably a smart idea...) you can use rhapsody. It lets you stream 25 songs free each month or you can stream infinite songs for like 10 bucks a month. I use it at work.

www.torrentspy.com is your friend

is it legal to share and download songs on a college campus from other students using itunes?

 

[Seraphin Falls]

I use http://www.rhapsody.com/freemusic . It is free and legal and will give you 25 free songs per month as well as ad free radio. The quality is good and they have a big selection to choose from. I also enjoy getting their newsletters that give me info on new music. I don't think this would be banned from your school.

i used bearshare, they blocked kazaa like two years ago --- and bearshare has been going strong.

I use direct connect(mac) but it's called i2hub for windows. Only some campuses are compatible - www.i2hub.com

 

[Calista T]

and lots of people got busted for using i2hub. Be careful if you decide to go there.

While it's not free, you can probably join a USENET service like Easynews and download from there with little or no restriction.

I just get files from my frienRAB comp. using AIM. He just d/l's songs for me sometimes, but also has a great collection of his own. See if a friend is willing to help you out.
