Unfortunately, Limewire has a lot of bad music downloads.. just like KaZaA (I haven't managed to find a bad IP updater for KaZaA Lite). For music, I highly recommend SoulSeek.. the only downside with SoulSeek, though, is that you can only download a music file directly from one person, unlike KaZaA or Limewire, which allows you to download a single file in "bits" from multiple people.

Since I'm a quality freak, I download most of my videos using a BitTorrent client called Azureus.

the client doesnt make a difference on the quality of the video....a torrent is a torrent.

Yeah, I use limewire and i have no troubles what soever. It's a pretty good program. My one friend kept complaining that it had all this spyware but nothing ever happened. I guess i proved him wrong.

I use Limewire and only have found one bad file out of hudnreds, and my friend has gotten thousands and he had no bad files.

I'd say the same. It uses a lot of your resources though.
