What's the catch with 'Bearshare' then?

Someone has reccomended 'Bearshare' to me.

As far as I understand it's a free P2P site that is legal and doesn't flood your computer with spyware.

Now call me cynical, but that sounds too good to be true. Whats the 'catch' with it.

What's the catch with 'Bearshare' then?viruses

you get viruses of all p2p dont touch bearshare

What's the catch with 'Bearshare' then?antispam

i tried bear share never again !!!! i use lime wire have done for 2 years and never had a problem (touch wood ) suppose it all depends on what you download ... good luck
bearshare has got lots of spyware %26 it will slow you system.

http://www.limewire.com/ is the most used free file sharing site. make sure you have anti virus running before swapping any files. the free edition of avg available from http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/... does a good job. once you have installed limewire do a search for limewire pro. then install this and delete the original. pro is faster.

For torrents use.http://www.torrentpond.com/ which will let you search the 15 top torrent sites for what you are looking for. You will then need http://dw.com.com/redir?pid=10618046%26mer...

to download the files.
Yes - it's legal to have.......... but it's not legal to download music as you haven't paid for a license for that music.

As for spyware..........you won't get flooded, but you'll get more than you need of it.
What do you mean "what's the catch"? There are plenty of free and spyware/adware free p2p programs out there. LimeWire and its sister program FrostWire are just two of them.
Legal? Hell, no. Spyware? Lots of it.
If you're using any p2p music download site, there's virtually no way it will be spyware or virus free.
