    Doesn't matter where you download, the issue is the file you've downloaded, if that's infected, it makes zero difference whether you got it from LW/*******/HTTP/FTP/etc...

    Like I said, it depends... If the mp3/wma file was infected with a virus, it doesn't matter where you download it, it'll infect your PC. It's the file, not where you downloaded it from.
