Like limewire.
Does anyone know anything that provides the same things as Limewire? All I need is a place where I can download music.
And not Ares, please.
Thanks in advance!

P2P sharing is often dangerous as there is a lot of spyware/malware bundled with the program, and more often than not, in the files themselves.
Your best bet is to stay clear of it to be honest. For now, bittorrent sites are perfectly legal, provided that you have the license for whatever it is you plan on downloading and you're just downloading it as a backup. Here's a guide I wrote for another site....
"Basically a torrent is a peer-to-peer network, similar to things like kazaa and napster and basically means that you download bits and pieces of a film/song/etc from many users all around the world. It's generally quite a fast and effective way of getting whatever programs and media you want, although legality is obviously dubious (only use it if you own the license etc) - but if you're still interested, here's a quick start guide.
1 - Download a bittorrent program - Such as bitcomet (direct download)
2 - Install it on your hard drive (or the one with the most space if you have more than one)
3 - Find yourself a torrent site such as Torrentz - Mininova - Torrentspy - or google for more
4 - Do a search for whatever it is you're looking for
5 - Click it and find "download this torrent" or similar
6 - Open with bitcomet
7 - Leave bitcomet running in the background - it'll tell you when it's downloaded. "

don't use kazaa, bear share, or winmx. they suck, a lot.

A search for p2p software on google will give you a huge list of tons of programs to choose from. Some of the top ones (and some I've used myself) are:
Shareaza [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
WinMX [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
eDonkey [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Morpheus [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
eMule [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
BearShare [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Kazaa [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
There's also BitTorrent which I have found to be the most reliable (and my personal fave to use) but is useless if you are after only single specific tracks.

**Don't use KaZaA or Morpheus under any circumstances. If you do, your computer=dead. WinMX is dead and you won't be able to get it to work. Don't use the edonkey2000 client, use eMule instead, which accesses the same network. BearShare has been compromised, and is now similar to iTunes, you have to pay to download.**
Here's a list of applications that run on the same network as limewire, and so can download the same exact songs:
