216665 2004-02-19 11:10:00 Now that you have learnt all about free downloads,
no doubt you will soon be learning all about spyware and how to get rid of it.

No, I haven't tried it, but all info helps, presumably...?

How is this any more or less legal than the likes of WinMX, Gnutella, eMule etc?

Their Privacy Policy seems to say they'll only collect info if you're over 13:

It says:

If 24/7 Downloads obtains actual knowledge that it has collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, that information will be immediately deleted from our database. Because it does not collect such information, 24/7 Downloads has no such information to use or to disclose to third parties. 24/7 Downloads has designed this policy in order to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA").
