Filesharing apps - Is KaZaA still number one? What do you use?

[RSI]

I find KaZaA more and more troublesome to use, it's almost always a pain in the ass to successfully download something, legal/legit or not seems not to make a difference.

 

[Pepsi90919]

the newest one they have out seems to work well.....can't seem to kill cydoor anymore but what are ya gonna do.

 

[RSI]

What is the newest version? I just have the regular KaZaA that I removed the spyware manually from.

 

[Aves]

WinMX

 

[jlee]

I use KaZaA Lite..works for me.

KaZaA lite is excellent. KaZaA without the spyware

<< KaZaA lite is excellent. KaZaA without the spyware >>

It's not excellent

Maybe it's my connection or something but I have a real hard time getting things to download, and to download fast. It worked better on dialup.

does anybody else have this problem? whenever i try to download something, anything, it will always tell me they failed. after i double clicked on it, and look at the traffic page, they are all listed as failed. i updated to the later kazaa 1.6 or something, and they still fail. i dunno why it does that nor how to fix it. can anybody help? thanks

p.s. this started happening just several weeks ago...before then, i was able to download just fine...dunno why

I find Kazaa Lite to be entirely too slow. WinMX, when downloading from somebody with a fast connection, works great for me.

Forte Agent and mIRC.

Are you using winxp as a limited user? if so that's your problem. log in as admin and make sure you have rights to the kazaa folder and downloads folder. I'm not for sure if you need rights to the program files folder. The same thing happen to my sister,so i gave her rights to the kazaa folder and the downloads folder. that fixed her problem.

nope, win2k as admin. i have no idea what happened...i haven't been able to download illegally pirated mp3's for several weeks and it sucks...

 

[Theslowone]

is there such a thing as legally pirated mp3s?

Seriously though if thats all you want try blubster, its a lot like napster was.

 

[RossMAN]

Kazaa Lite without the Spyware.

 

[Bignate603]

I use grokster but you need to run adaware afterwards

 

[AUMM]

IMO Direct Connect is the best, ive had very few problems with it

<< IMO Direct Connect is the best, ive had very few problems with it >>

How does Direct Connect work?

BTW, Grokster is just like KaZaA last I knew.

 

[StinkyMeat]

I just whore stuff off of my school network with a simple LAN scanner.

 

[Bignate603]

I use direct connect but you can't find everything you want.

 

[THELAIR]

my kazalite also says the files fail, but when i go to the folde,r htey are there. Odd i know.

So when it says, download "failed" it means it worked
