Kazaa No Longer Does Multiple Downloading?

[Dre]

I've noticed that Kazaa no longer downloads a file from multiple people to speed things up. Anyone else notice this? This could explain why my downloads seem to take forever now. Evern if I right-click on the file that is downaloading and select "find more sources to download" it does nothing. I've got like 40 files ranging from movies to music to programs that either download at 1kb/s or don't download for days.

No, it's done that in the past as well... basically, a lot of users nowadays don't allow others to "leech" the fuiles on their HD. It also depends on the time of the day...

Now that you're mentioning it, I think that Grokster (which is what I'm using at the moment) does the same thing. I haven't seen it download from more than one source at the same time for a while...

I still get reasonable speeds, though (6+ kbps minimum).

I keep Kazaa running pretty much 24/7 and I've haven't seen it download a file from multiple people in days, maybe even weeks.

Same thing here. I decided to uninstall it. 2 gigs of 1/2 completed files are wotrhless to me and I don't feel like leaving my computer on all day and getting 10k worth of downloads for all that.

I'll wait for the next Morpheus or maybe try WinMX for smaller files, but that's it. Good thing I have AG for music!

/\ Bump.....Has anyone been able to get multiple downloads sources when downloading a file?

I've been getting a couple downloads from multiple sources, but whichever ones I get, I get a really slow transfer speed. I don't really notice it because I just download stuff overnight. Grokster is basically the same thing as Kazaa so it will probably do the same thing.

ive been using grokster since morpheus went down, and the files that i have been downloading have been off of multiple users..

my kazaa d/ls from multiple people. It just needs the sources, so if they're not on and only 1 happens to be on, click "resume" on all of them and they might find more sources. It definately d/ls more than 1 at once.

Grokster now downloads from multiple sources for me. Nice and fast

 

[BIGGDOG]

Yes I have noticed this. I do not understand people if you want somethig then share something. I see people DL from me and I right click on them and click on Find more from this user if it comes up empty then I cut them off.

Maybe I'll try reinstalling. Maybe I screwed something up with I hacked up my Kazaa to get rid of spyware? Are those getting multiple downloads using the regular kazaa or a hacked one with no spyware?

I have been using KazaaLite for the last week with good results. I have had up to 3 sources downloading at one time. Occasionally I have had speeds of up to 45Kbp/s usually it has been 1-12. Right now I have a one source d/l and a 2 source d/l. All in all, I have been quite pleased with the Lite version posted in the Hot Deal forum.

i'm using kazaalite as well... without any problem of multiple downloading.
