Just don't download files that are too big or too  small..

around 3000kb to like 7000kb are songs.. but not normally that high unless they are very long songs..

Not if you stay away from the porn, and look at file sizes.
 

 file sizes? u mean i shouldnt download stuff if the size is too big or what???


Your average mp3 is in the range of 4,000-8,000kb, depending on it's lenght, if you're dling a file that's 30,000kb, and it's just a 3:02 song, you know somethings up.


it depends. the bit rate/bit depth/sample rate of a file also affects its size. the standard mp3 is 128kbps, 16bit, 44.1kHz, so yes that would be around 4-8Mb. but a file that's really good quality, say 320kbps, 24bit, 48kHz, would be easily 15Mb or more.

It is possible to get virus's from it but I have used it a lot and nothing bad has ever happened, and so have a lot of my friends.
But since you get the files from other people it is always possible that the file is corrupted

Try to stay away from the search results who's names match exactly what you typed in.....

say i search for "felix da housecat"

do not download a search result that says "felix da housecat" and onyl that....

not a very hard program to run, just don't be an idiot.  I recommend watching porn somewhere else.
