for the most part they are safe, use piratebay for your search and only download from trusted users (they have a scull, green or purple). you should be fine with other ones as well but you might not want to risk it.

yeah, i've been running limewire and downloaded a lot of songs, and downloaded a few games off utorrent, just don't download that seem suspicious and just get a good anti-virus to make sure, most people are scared to download stuff, but who the hell is gonna pay a dollar a song off itunes, but yeah i haven't got any problems, if u do, just run system restore.

isohunt ...
download utorrent and a tunneler plus an antivirus (avg is good! NORTON BLOCKS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!! Its worst then vista! )
That way your computer should be safer from viruses.

Not always. I recommend gettting an anti-spyware/firewall program with active scanning, such as McAfee. I download torrents all the time, but if there is any infectious material, my program kills it before it has a chance to infect my PC. For the most part though, torrents aren't all that bad. Just make sure you have protection.

limewire can cause viruses, but it slows down a computer, especially an old one. the new edition of limewire is better on new macs or something BUT NOT on PC's.

The places you get torrents from are safe but any torrent downloaded carries the chance for being infected with any number of things. Once you download a file Isolate it and do not open it until you scan it for viruses. Once it is cleared by your anti-virus you can then open it.

Utorrent is a safe player. btjunky.org is a good site to get the torrents from
they usually dont
there free but alot of the torrents are copyrighted so dont get caught with it
