Q. I can't download anymore freaking songs!!! I'm not "paying" for music anytime soon.
A. I am so mad!
I used limewire all the time!
FrostWire
Ever since Lime Wire made its Tuesday announcement, the name FrostWire has been floating around the Web as a viable alternative. FrostWire, which touts itself as "open source and completely free," is a P2P file-sharing program for BitTorrent and Gnutella. It dates back to 2004, and version 4.21.1 is available now for download on frostwire.com. The interface looks a lot like LimeWire; a YouTube user posted an instructional video detailing how to get set up. On Tuesday, the company also released an Android app for $4.99, though based on a PCMag hands on with the app, it leaves a little something to be desired.
Vuze
Vuze, formerly known as Azureus, bills itself as the "most powerful BitTorrent app on earth." Earlier this month, it rolled out support for the new Apple TV, BlackBerry devices, and a wider range of Android devices in addition to existing support for various game consoles, TiVo, and Samsung TVs. A paid option, Vuze Plus, offers unlimited DVD burns and built-in antivirus for $24.99 per year. Version 4.5 is available for download now. PCMag reviewed version 4.2 about a year ago, and found it to be good choice for novices that may not want to learn file-sharing-related terminology before getting started.
uTorrent
uTorrent is a small BitTorrent client that bills itself as "a powerhouse with a tiny appetite"; the latest Windows version is just 320KB. PCMag reviewed version 1.8.4 in October 2009 and found it to be a basic, effective client. Since then, uTorrent has added an alpha Linux download and a stable version for Mac. Last month, uTorrent also unveiled a the Featured Artist program, which offers musicians and filmmakers the ability to submit their work for consideration in special promotions.
Shareaza
Shareaza is a P2P client for Windows available for download at shareaza.sourceforge.net. You can upload/download from EDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Gnutella2, Shareaza said. As PCMag outlined two years ago, it's not the same as Shareaza.com, a copycat site that tries to trick you into downloading software you don't want. The real Shareaza released version 2.5.3.0 in June 2010, while Shareaza.com is currently promoting version 7. PCMag hasn't reviewed Shareaza since 2004, but at the time it earned a 4 out of 5 rating.
Ares
Ares is another sourceforge.net file-sharing site. An updated version - Ares 2.1.7 - was just released on Wednesday, which supports the BitTorrent protocol and Shoutcast radio stations via the built-in audio/video player, Ares said.
RapidShare
RapidShare is not a P2P site, but it lets you upload files and then send a download link to people with whom you want to share the file. Users of the free service can upload files up to 500MB, though there is a 15-minute wait time between downloads. A RapidPro service, which runs about $8 per month, will give you 50GB of storage, 2GB uploads, and no wait times. The only drawback to RapidShare is that you can't search directly for files stored on the service, though numerous RapidShare search sites are in existence.

will the android phones be able to upgrade to the 4g network?
Q. i just got the HTC droid incredible with verizon, and i was wondering if, once verizon gets the 4g network, with there be a mass android phone upgrade that will upgrade all the android phones to the 4G network? i know that there was an update that gave the droid the pinch feature for making screens bigger. So will there be an upgrade that does this?
A. No, how it works is for the phone to be able to utilize said connection of 4G, it requires certain hardware similar to how some computers are not able to access wireless, they need a hardware chip and can't just simply install a program/set it up. Which is why Sprint only has the Evo able to use 4G and why the others can't due to not being a software upgradeable compatibility but a hardware requirement able to use the signal.
An example is T Mobile's HSPA+ rollout. T Mobile is rolling out HSPA+ a 3G network with enhanced speeds fast as and faster than Sprint's 4G, although their devices are able to receive a boost because it is still 3G, the hardware is not capable of utilizing the full power, therefore the need for an HSPA+ device to show off their network which is where the HTC Vanguard/Vision comes in with the hardware capability - soon to be released this summer stated by T Mobile via Twitter feed, although thought to be October/November.
So you will need a new cell phone for 4G, and even then it has to be in your area, I recommend mid 2011 since it's planned to roll out end of 2010/ beginning of 2011 I believe.

This url gives you detailed instructions on how to root your Android. Rooting refers to restoring your phone to the original version of the software by google. Most software you find now will be the newest version of the operating system 2.2 (Froyo).
Be cautioned that this may void your devices warranty.
I know that a 2.1 release was scheduled for the HTC Hero on Telus, but I am an American, so I'm not sure if they ever got it or not. If it has been released and your phone has not updated, I would contact HTC or Telus for assistance with manually uprading, because this update should have been sent to your phone over the air automatically. If not, I would probably give it some time, rather than risking screwing up your phone or voiding your warranty, the update should be coming soon if it hasn't already. I would only root your device is your intent on getting 2.2, because HTC has confirmed that it will not develop 2.2 for it's Hero/Eris line of Android phones.
