Ouch. It was my favorite too. You rarely got anything fast, but you could get it. Gnutella has never really done "it" for me. Well, at least we'll never find out what they planned on using our "spare" CPU cycles for...

The collapse of Kazaa, however, is not expected to slow trading activity on the company's network, one of the most popular file-sharing sites in the world. Kazaa said it has sold the network to another firm that the music and film industry has not sued yet.

Kazaa file-sharing isn't going anywhere yet.

Exactly, though. I think we should all keep selling Kazaa back and forth between us for $1 (like beavis and butthead in a classic episode) so they can't sue us fast enough. 😛

Well, I don't have a dollar but I do have an old 486 MB and a broken webcam that I'll let go for ownership of Kazaa for a few days. 🙂

Winmx, eDonkey2000, and IRC is all you really need. Kazaa wasn't any better than winmx 3.1, sucked compared to edonkey for movies/games and there's nothing like IRC.

Damn. Now how am I supposed to get that Kazaa worm? 😉

 

[richleader]

I know, I'm not cool enough for IRC though. I think you can't get anything these days unless you login as "RAVERGIRL69" 😛
