limewire question

[dmw319]

i use limewire sometimes to get music. no, not a lot. but a few songs here and there. but now ive moved into the dorms at school. and it says that it wont or isnt connected.. anybody know why this might be? i already checked the firewall, and its off. *shrug*

Re: limewire question

Seeing as you're on the school network, I wouldn't be surprised at all if they tweaked the main firewall to block all P2P traffic.

Try ares, it's notoriously good at getting around firewalls.

Re: limewire question

no no no! if you're getting songs at school, use mytunes redux: http://www.minimalverbosity.com/ or ourtunes: http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net/

they work like this: ya know how you can get streaming music thru iTunes if you're hooked up to a network (i.e. at school)? well these progs let you download the songs rather than just stream them. its kicka$$. songs come in in 3 seconds flat and there's no "bait" songs. pure music, and the bigger the school the better, cuz of more song selection. U of Michigan has a ginormous one. this one kid i know has 90 GIGS! of music from it. its awesome. use limewire for porn or w/e.
note: never download from T1 or T3 speeds on limewire. those are the ones that are usually teh "bait" songs. only use cable/dsl connections. those are usually actual people sharing music.

at our school, each dorm has its own network on the school network... so you can only view music from people in your own dorm with ourtunes..

however, someone made a hub on dc++ that was amazing... songs, movies, full cds, awesome. You could download a movie in 3 minutes. I had over 120 gigs shared with that cause of all my music and movies.. I love my external harddrive
