Anyone else a member of LimeWire? I joined on a whim.

I just managed to dump everything I’d downloaded since joining EXCEPT the one song I was playing. Damn it. It was very easy to do this, and I had no clue that’s what I was doing. I thought I was deleting 1 song.

Fortunately, there were only about 150 songs and I was able to print off a list of them, so I can re-download the ones I want.

Hi, **Prancer**.

LimeWire is a file-sharing program that easily and primarily allows copyright violations. Because of that, we don’t allow such threads on the SDMB. Gonna have to close this one down.
