I couldn't connect this morning either - tells me my version is too old to connect to the network, but my roomie is running the same version and can connect just fine - off of the same network hub! Must be a registry problem or something....
<--running version 1.3.3
 

I was getting all kinds of weirdness this morning. It was constantly trying to connect to about 500 different sites. I only noticed it in my firewall logs.

I have been trying to download the LOTR cartoon for five days now. Only getting < 1.0Kb/s :(

I got that error about the version aswell. Isn't there a v2.0 out? I know mine isn't the most current for sure either way though.

People, people, people.....AudioGalaxy

I used Morpheus, and still do some times for Videos, but come on, AudioGalaxy is awesome. I can get full cd rips on that. If you haven't tried it, try it. And if you HAVE tried it, and don't like it....well...then your mom's a whore :p

Nah, you can remove the spyware which comes with AG without any hacking.

Otherwise you can always use the Linux CLI version ;)

Damn Kazaa. I d/l'ed it and removed the spyware. A message pops up claiming that important files were deleted and that I would have to reinstall. Funk DAT!!

Also, they give the source code for the AG Satelite, are you telling me NONE of you little tech heads have rewritten it without the spyware?? (Well, if you have...can you send it to me :eek:)

No seriously, I have one of those spyware thingy removers, so I assume it workz.

I could connect last night, but I'm having troubles now.

My friend gets the "Version too old" message, but is still able to connect and transfer files.

<< Here is more info on the Morpheus situation:

Infoanarchy article

Apparently the outage is intentional on the part of KaZaA's new owners.
>>

Also interesting is the article at heise.de the article links to:

A quote from the heise.de article:



<< Einzelne Anwender der veralteten Software k&ouml;nnten im Moment noch Gl&uuml;ck haben. Die Verbindung zum Netzwerk klappt, solange sich ein Supernode findet, bei dem die Protokoll-Umstellung noch nicht vollzogen ist >>


This is the sole reason why some people still can connect using Morpheus.

Translated:

Individual users of the outdated software could have luck for the moment still. The connection to the network folds, as long as a Supernode is, with which the log conversion not yet carried out is

Wait a second! Is Morpheus v1.33 now useless? I now have to install Kazaa 1.5 to get Morpheus "back?"
