Limewire standard is just as fast [and no toolbar] , there is absoluteley no reason to use this antique , torrents are the way forward - get UTorrent or BitTorrent instead.

I haven't used this in over a year (or any other Gnutella client because the Gnutella network is clogged with too much garbage) but my nephews and all his friends use it because it's probably one of the easiest P2P applications to use. You load a client, it connects, type what you're looking for and download. Small wonder 1 in 3 PCs have Gnutella (Limewire) installed. The authors' website admit that this latest release comes bundled with ASK toolbar but insist it is an optional install:

Here is some more information on the ASK toolbar and it's methods for re-directing web traffic:

You be the judge.

I would normally rate this at 5 stars but the sneaky double tickbox for the ASK toolbar means I'm going to dock it 4 stars.

Limewire has previously given me a virus and so i'm unsure about downloading this program
Any recommendations for the best free music downloader? preferably ones that don't contain al the adds, pop-ups and viruses

FrostWire lower rating because
INSTALLED ASK TOOLBAR WITHOUT PERMISSION!!
(IAC ask.com) even when option was unchecked
and poor column layout
Otherwise looks good and has useful features but I am a n00b with these P2P clients and have only looked at KCEASY which seemed to have less features but better laid out descriptive columns
