MummuM answered Saturday January 21 2006, 6:14 pm: I haven't had either of these downloaders, but I have heard that both Limewire and Bearshare are bad. I suggest downloading a new downloader. Maybe 'Ares'? It's a really great downloader. I've haven't had a problem with it yet, and I've had it for a few years now. No spyware, no pop ups, doesn't slow down your computer or gives off viruses. It's great! I highly recommend it. Just go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) and search up 'Ares'. ♥ [ MummuM's advice column | Ask MummuM A Question ]

It goes fast on my computer and no spyware or anything. If I were you I would get Ares. It's fast and works good. You can download it at www.download.com [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

I personally thing that limewire is better but if you dont like either of those then you should try out Warez I had it for a while and it works really well!
