Which Kazaa

[The Evil Genius]

is the best? I currently have 2.6 but I don't like all of the spy-ware and everytime I remove it (Ad-Aware or Spybot) I have to re-install Kazaa and it really slows down my computer.

What version would be the best for me. I'm not on it too often but I want to be able to download some songs when I want (new songs) and I want to be able to run Kazaa and listen to music while I do other things on the internet.

Thanks in advance.

If your problem is the spy-ware you can get Kazaa Lite from this thread (http://www.oldversion.com/talk/index.php?act=ST&f=2&t=1811).
Kazaa Lite (sometimes called 'K-Lite') is a Peer-to-Peer File Sharing application that does not contain any 'Spyware'. In actual fact, it is a modified version of the very popular Kazaa Media Desktop (often called the 'Original Kazaa' or 'KMD'), which is made by Sharman Networks. Both programs are very similar, with almost identical features and appearance. The main difference is that Kazaa Lite has been modified so that it does not have any of the so-called 'Spyware' and 'Adware' that comes with the Original Kazaa.

Kazaa Lite provides sharing of all kinds of media and software. It is a 'FastTrack' Client, which means it connects to the FastTrack P2P network system, just like some other popular file sharing programs like Kazaa, Grokster and iMesh. (And in the past also Morpheus, which now only connects to the Gnuttella network)

Kazaa Lite can download single files from multiple users to ensure you get the most efficient use of your bandwidth. They also resumes broken downloads or downloads that were in progress when you shut down your computer last. All-in-all, FastTrack is a very good, very powerful P2P system.

The authors of Kazaa Lite were concerned about the fact that the Original Kazaa contained unwanted third party software and wanted to be able to use it without that software. So a cleaned up version was made: Kazaa Lite!

Kazaa Lite is not a different program, it's the same program, just without all the additional software. We don't have any source code of the program. That makes is almost impossible to make big changes to the program or add new features. Nevertheless, we did succeed in making big improvements to the program by modifying some of it's machine-code, adding plugins and external utilities.

What do you think?

PS: To know more about the story of FastTrack Network and of K-Lite visit: http://faq.kdp.2ya.com/ [/quote]this contains the link Kazaa FAQ (http://myimages.fourvalve.com/mavol/faq/index.htm) which contains word for word what you posted above.Are you concerned people cannot follow the simple links, if they want to.
If your posts stuck to those simple links and didn&#39;t fill pages with your copied info and then moans from people forced to read it then it would be of more help & easier for everyone to read only information they desire.
So if your posts looked more like the excerpts I quoted I think you might find people more grateful.
B.T.W my questions are strictly rhetorical thankyou.

Thanks for the information. If I get Kazaa Lite, will I be able to use my songs that I have from Kazaa or will I lose my list. I&#39;d assume they&#39;d transfer but I want to make sure.

Also, if I go with Kazaa Lite, can I uninstall Kazaa?

1. Also, if I go with Kazaa Lite, can I uninstall Kazaa?
No, you wont lose your list. If you are getting K-Lite 2.6 (Recommended) as soon as you get in the program go on Options-Options-Sharing-Manage Other Folders and go in the folder "Kazaa"-"My Shared Folder".
2. Sure you have to uninstall Kazaa and install Kazaa Lite.

Note: When you downlaod K-Lite 2.6 download the "kazaa.exe+magnet.exe" version. If not it wont work.
Cheers, and if you have any problems feel free to add a reply in this topic and I or others will answer you as soon as possible. ;) ;)

As of Feb 6, 2004 the business offices and the homes of Kazaa owners were raided by law enforcement officals. I think it&#39;s safe to say Kazaa is dead. Which means records of Kazaa trading are in the hands of the police. Personally I wouldn&#39;t want to continue using a program that if not closed down yet is being monitored closely and could result in a warrant being served on me and my computer taken and fines and/or jail terms.

Versions Not Reccomended

Kazaa Gold : A scam, based on a old version of kazaa lite

DietK : A addon tool for kazaa(lite), it blocks adds from KMD, has a few features, it causes quite a few problems and plus you already need KMD/ Kazaa lite already

Kazaa Lite Resurrection : Based on Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 it has updated tools, but seems "over hacked" and contains a few confusing tools, which are not needed by most users. This version is based on KMD 2.0.2 (an old version) and newer versions (2.5+) do not accept connections from these clients.

Clean KMD 2.6 : Based on KMD 2.6 (the latest version), it still doesnt have many features though

Clean KMD 2.4.4 : Based again on Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3, this version has the updated tools and extensions. It works the same as Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 and KLU, but doesnt have to same "feel". This version is based on KMD 2.0.2 (an old version) and newer versions (2.5+) do not accept connections from these clients.

Reccomended Versions

Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 And KLU : The last "offical" version of kazaa lite k++, it has lots of enhanced features and all up to date tools (if KLU is used). This version is based on KMD 2.0.2 (an old version) and newer versions (2.5+) do not accept connections from these clients.

K-Lite v2.6 : Based On KMD 2.6, its is by far the best KMD 2.6 build as no other version has these features: Autosearch more, Custom icons, Built in toolbar, custom webpages, custom about box. It doesnt have some features of Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 yet (such as built in accelerator and a few minor options), but these will come soon and it will have more aswell . Note: This version is still in testing&#33;

I hope this helps

[fed up]

thats it salopette, dont worry about the boys in blue, just keep pumping the one program and dont be bothered about spoiling a good website by filling it with utter rubbish, perhaps you may get a starting handle one day for your other brain cell, you may be able to function then on more than one subject, im sure before long some one with the necessary powers are going to stop your continual crap about the one subject and personally i hope they lock all threads and ban you, DONT BOTHER REPLYING,

[The Evil Genius]

Just to be on the safe side, I now have Kazaa Lite ++. All of my music is now in there (I got the copy of it from a burnt CD). Do I need to save &#39;My Shared Folder&#39; from my regular version of Kazaa before uninstalling Kazaa?

[fed up]

safe side, if you break the law there is no safe side ,you call youself the evil genius,who led you to think of the word genius,this would point to me that there is a little brain there that could be used if you knew how to, get a life man.

[baffled]

I seem to be having a propblem i have recently used the recovery disk on my system as it totally crashed due to spyware from p2p programs like KMD, bearshare and grokster, before that i was running k lite 2.4.1 i think but now when i try to connect to 2.4.3 it wont connect only if i force being a supernode and then i seem to be the only user online and my search does not find anything, i have noticed other replies from users in other forums stating they can no longer connect to k lite or yahoo as i can&#39;t connect to yahoo via the default no proxies settings only by firewall with no proxies, is it my ISP or is it the firewall as i&#39;ve tried all different firewalls and none seem to work, its driving me nuts, i have little memory in this PC and a slow 56k connection but i had much more crap on there before and used to be able to use k lite, can someone help me please :blink:

[fed up]

if your computer crashed due to spyware etc from p2p programs then why carry on using them, the spyware etc perhaps did not cause your system to crash it was more possibly a viral problem that crashed your pc, p2p carry an untold amount of virus files and unless your antivirus is bang up to date on a regular basis you will have problems, skip the p2p it aint worth it,if you value your pc dont risk filling it with rubbish. a few cds cost far less than a computer engineer if you run into major problems,, AND SO ENDETH THE LESSON.

Why don&#39;t you SHUT UP?&#33; You are too worried about being the law. Chances are you aren&#39;t perfect. Do you stop completely at every stop sign? Do you always use your turning signal? Do you have anything on your computer that you shouldn&#39;t? SHUT UP&#33;

You aren&#39;t the law, you&#39;re just someone who tries to act like they are perfect. Perhaps you are fed up with yourself of being fake. Not everyone can be perfect (like you appear to claim to be). Kazaa is still being used, I didn&#39;t ask if it was against the law. It&#39;s still used and until they get rid of it, it will be used.

You&#39; right evil genius there are about 3.700.000 people out there using Kazaa, and no matter how many legal problams it has, (for me) it&#39;s always the best p2p app. And fed up should stop posting always the same things in every Kazaa thread, he should think for him self, if we are in law problems that&#39;s our business.
So like you say Evil Genius................................. "FED UP, shut the f**k up&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;"

dont be abusive it is totally unnecessary, you obviously love the slow downloading and virus ridden most illegal network there is (kazaa) that does not mean that everybody doesnt have the right to know that you can and eventually most likely will end up getting sued and land in court for copyright infringuement, because you like it doesnt give you the right to promote it as safe and fantastic this is both misleading and untrue.. i merely add the information that you fail to understand that is important for people to know ,THIS PROGRAM CAN LaND YOU IN COURT WITH A HEAVY PENALTY. ,, and like it or not i will warn people of this it is only fair, or people will maybe be mislead by the verbal diarohea that people like you write

I had a version of klite and a hack that allowed me to speed up my DLs. I had to format and lost that version and the crack. it basically lised my participation level as 1000.

I now have kazaa hack 2.5 and klite 2.4.3 and they don&#39;t appear to be compatible.

any ideas on what version works with this crack or what crack works with this version?

This is not a "warez" site. We are able to legally distribute only freeware and shareware, since they are free.
Don&#39;t ask for cracks on this site.

really its getting to the stage where there isnt a good one, virtually daily this subject comes up and each time people spend time trying to help people, i have been watching the subject quite a bit, and every week more and more people are getting sued, loads more people seem to have viruses from using it and now of late there are many write ups about dud files that play for so long and then turn to a hiss, according to internet news sources there are thousands of these files being pumped in to kazaa to put people off using it ,as locustfurnace has stated read some of the many threads on the subject and perhaps you may want to try an alternative such as win mx

[ProDigit]

For as long as it lasts.

The WinMX programs, cracks, etc.. are neither virusfree...

Try to download a patch, or just a cheat from a game, you get about 100different filesizes.


Anyway, I&#39;m not gonna say one is better then the other; for I use multiple.
K-Lite; Winmx, Imesh, and another one...

each one has it&#39;s reason. What I can&#39;t find on one, I find on another...
About the virusses, get an anti-virus scanner, like Nav. or whatever...
(Nav, PCcyl. and MCafee (especially Mcafee) slows your computerperformance&#33;&#33;)

About ads & popups, get a firewall (Sygate, or Zonealarm, or so...), and popup-blocker.

about spyware, get something like adaware...

And I don&#39;t really care if you like these programs, or not, I like them. All have advantages, or disadvantages over another.

In the end you install 100 programs, just to get your movie, music, or datafile...
:wacko:


duud....

[TheMasta]

Dude Forget Kazaa download the best p2p program shareaza from www.shareaza.com and you will get a multinetwork client, that means that you will be a ble to browse and download files from 3 different p2p networks.

[HOME OF KAZAA LITE 2.6 is GAMEGL]

HOME OF KAZAA LITE 2.6 is [/url]

In an attempt to stop all the "k-lite is gone, the world has ended" threads, I&#39;ll try to explain what I know about K-lite. Contrary to what you&#39;ve heard, development has not really stopped. K-lite will never be as popular as it once was, and the development will most likely not be done by the same guys, but it will NOT be going away.

All the original kazaa lite sites, like k-lite.tk, doa2.host.sk, kazaalite.tk, etc, now have NO REFFERENCE to kazaa lite. The main file download mirror by edskes has had K-lite removed. These will almost certainly NOT be back, so just remove them from your bookmarks.

(http://gameglitch.com) is where the new K-lite 2.6 boards are located. I&#39;m a mod there now, so I should be able to help. kyle06, agent smith, and Elviz from zp are also mods, so you can contact them if you have problems. The forums will provide you with all your update needs, including the original installer (there are still many mirrors working). There is also an update utility to upgrade 2.4.3 with the latest tools and patches. So unless they ban the 2.0.2 and earlier clients from the network, Kazaa lite will allways work and will ALLWAYS be updated. (The 2.4.3 client will eventually not work, as KMD 2.6 supernodes ban 2.0.2 clients, which is what 2.4.3 is based off of. Thats why we&#39;re working on a beta for 2.6)

Is a somewhat slow mirror, I don&#39;t know if it will stay updated.

I will ask the developers to come over here and answer any questions you may have. If they don&#39;t want to, I&#39;ll try to keep in contact with them and get your answers.

I would like to mention that a version of Kazaa 2.6 is being worked on by several people. It would not include spyware, but might not have all the K-lite tools.

If you for some reason cannot get K-lite 2.4.3 to work, or want to use KMD 2.6 for some reason, you can try (http://gameglitch.com) . It should remove all spyware and give you some more advanced features than KMD. Unfortunately, K-lite still has better tools, but this will allow you to use Kazaa without the crap.

Please, if you have a copy of k-lite still, SHARE IT. If nobody shares it, this software will eventually go away.

One last thing. The K-lite codec pack is still available for download. I&#39;m not sure if development will continue, but I&#39;ll try to find out. Codec pack can be found at

Read through this entire thread to find all the updates. They will usually be listed within the last few pages of the thread.

[Guest]

i really think you guys need to get a life, kazaa is crap it was good but is no longer. its full of junk, porno filth, virus , dud files and copyrite material which is illegal to download any way what a pointless way to live your life chasing and downloading crap and wasting your time
