What else can I use to download stuff?

Not if you write over the "deleted" sector enough times.

If it's illegal, no. But there's a small loophole thang where you can keep a file for no longer than 24 hours. I never usually need a track longer than that.

Actually that 24 hour thing is a load of bull.

Depends how you delete it. If all you have done is right click, delete, then emptied recycle bin then, even if you fill your HD up, small traces of the file remain as well as other stuff. Even if someone then took their HD out and smashed it it would possibly still be possible to find what was on it.
You can get programs which totally obliterate any and all traces of any file beyond even forensic software's ability to find it. One's called Evidence Eliminator, another Cyber Scrub, there's loads more - think PC Format has a feature a while back on them and free trials. They're also useful for giving your HD a really good clearout of crap, as well as removing stuff like Credit Card details etc totally from a machine. You have ot be careful though as a few wrong options ticked and you could end up crippling the machine...

Meh, still won't stop me from using it though. Like I said, they'd be crazy to start on me when there a major pirates making thousands out of filesharing.

I ticked the wrong boxes and instead of sitting on a desk my pc is propped up with crutches :-(
