What the experts said
“When I noticed the huge number of people who had acquired Warez from Download.com, I thought I'd give it a shot on my testing PC. I have to say I like it. The interface reminds me of Kazaa, but it's a bit more refined. The media player works fairly well, and the chat service is pretty cool.”
