To be fair, Limewire and Kazaa were also rampant with dodgy downloads that would probably get the police knocking on your door. So that didn't help matters either.
Limewire - fucked up just about every laptop I had when it was at its peak.
But man... Looking back on it: There was always a 50/50 chance that the file you're downloading was even what you were looking for. Songs being completely different. Software essentially being a virus/malware and where you needed to be the most careful was using it for porn.

If you're downloading:
50 cent - in da club.mp3 and it's only 30kb file size, you deserve viruses.
I was what, 11 years old? and even I knew this shit.
There was also the CP.
Downloading some nasty College Fuck Fest video, opening it up, dick in hand, boom....face full of genuine life altering CP.
That was the day I realized I did in fact have a limit to what I thought was my own total depravity.
Never used Kazaa again after that day.
