    that too. My parents kept asking me wtf was up with their PC and I would always find and delete Limewire crap that my 16 year old brothers would download. Even after explaining multiple times why they shouldnt use it.

    websites like zshare.net, rapidshare.com, mediafire.com, usershare.com

    say you want to download an eminem album...google "blah blah eminem rapidshare" and then you should find a bunch of results...download it and and unzip it with winrar...and bam!

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Heh, that was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the thread headline. I think I last used it in 2002 or 2003.

    The rule of thumb is that once these sites are "well known", it's already time to move on to the next one.
