NOW - I know you're probably thinking why I'd do that, but this is a shared computer and I don't want to eat up the hard drive, which is why I burn the lossless CD's. I'm getting a MacBook Pro this summer, and then I'll rip everything onto that in ALAC (Apple lossless) for myself.
By the way, anyone know where I can find the Dr. Ebbetts Beatles UK Singles and UK EP collections in lossless? I found the singles in OGG Vorbis, but not lossless ...
Oh, right - yeah, I don't know about your Limewire issue. Sorry.
I used to use BitLord until I found out that it is essentially stolen software (they ripped off BitComet something terrible; in fact, when you set BitLord to be the default program for .torrent files, they even show the BitComet logo as their icon!) Ever wonder why you get such bad share ratios? Because it's basically a leech program. I'd recommend either BitComet or uTorrent.
Also, I see from your userbar that you're a Pink Floyd fan. In that case, I think you should check out www.yeeshkul.com for all your Floydian needs.
