Poll question: Do you download?

Were talking things like Kazaa, BitTorrent, WinMx and what not.

1. Other

I look for useful utilities free of spyware and have to wipe several Dell Notebooks because of the crap they load.

Geez, how many of the 34 programs do I need that they have running in the background anyway?

4. Where do you get your mp3's?

I'm still using Kazaa Lite. Is there anything that works better right now? I haven't really been keeping up with all that stuff lately.

8. Everytime I get on emule

there doesn't seem to be too many other people connected. I like Bit Torrent though. I mainly use it for movies, games, and apps though. Mp3's are hard for me to find, because I tend to listen to a lot of underground and hard-to-find stuff. The price you pay for not following the masses, I suppose.

9. A 70 Gig HD Stores A Lot Of Info On A Notebook

But a 2.8 MHz Intel chip can only go so far without overheating the internal electronics on a Dell Notebook and slowing everything down through Bill Gates' version of what a bloated OS should be.

I may be slow sometimes, but I'm not totally ignorant.

3. Mostly stuff that's not available commercially (or hard to find) and

individual tracks off albums that absolutely suck with the exceptionof one or two tracks.

I also buy a lot of music.
