download songs that are at least 2,000 kb...those ones that are like 101 kb are viruses..
Limewire is really really sketchy to use. You better have antivirus stuff running when you use it. Better yet, stay away from it with these alternatives:
Torrents: Torrents are completely p2p shared files, and dont run through a program like limewire, ares, napster, soulseek, ect. Thus, they're pretty reliable, and you have to use internet sites to actually search through them. But they work, have very very few viruses, and are most reliable for large files, like movies and games. This is a really good site to get you started:
www.thepiratebay.org
Ares: Another p2p program that I use sometimes instead of Limewire. Some viruses, a little less well known, but has lots of users and good connections usually. I've found quite a few rare songs on it that I cant get on Limewire, so its useful just for that.
Soulseek: Never used it, but I hear its pretty good. I'm probably going to get it after I wipe my HD this weekend and start fresh and clean of Limewire.
Apparently Morpheus is still in existence, but I've never liked it much for some reason. For songs, torrents are unfortunately kinda bad, unless the site Nomensteven posted works (i'm at work, otherwise I'd be all over it right now). Try Ares I guess, or Soulseek.

I got a really bad virus from it, but now that's fixed.
Oh, and I forgot to mention: If you do use torrents, you can download things without a program to control all of that... but it gets messy quickly, and you have to open each individual download every time. Try a torrent manager; Microtorrent works really well, and has a pretty good search feature as well. There are lots out there, like eMule (an offshoot of eDonkey) that work great too if you want some variety.
