Visits to music piracy websites went up more than 13 percent last year, a new report says. The majority of those visits were to sites that allow users to download the audio from YouTube URLs.

Share your music library, download directly from other users library. Both are compatible, just different clients.

It's a direct p2p connection to a single user for downloads. It's not swarm style like bittorrent. It's also a great resource for really rare / out of print stuff.

I used it without a vpn for years and never got a single nastygram from my ISP. I think I started with a beta release back around 2000 because I used to be cool like that.
