Whoa! Everyone and their goat is on Kazaa right now...

I guess all the Morpheus people have migrated (me included).

1 045 152 users online sharing
171 003 000 files that take up
1 044 816 GB (that's a million gigs people... 1 000 Tera bytes... 1 Petabyte (I think that's the next one)).

🙂
 


<< I've never used Morpheus. I've always used KaZaa. I stay with the best, I guess. 😉 >>



ive always used morpheus... dont they both share the same network? 😕

and doesnt kazaa have spyware?
 
They used to share the same network, then morpheus changed and joined the gnutella network. It sucks hardcore now. Kazaa does have spyware, but that can be taken care of rather easily.
 
I installed Kazaa. It decided during installation to uninstall my ad-aware. I then reinstalled ad-aware and ran it...found a whole bunch of spyware. Removed the spyware and then Kazaa no longer worked and would not uninstall. I then re-installed Kazaa(which again uninstalled my ad-aware), uninstalled it. I then again reinstalled ad-aware and got rid of the junk.

I'll live with Morpheus for now.
 


<< Dean, you have to install dummy files in the windows\system directory after you run ad-aware. >>



What would those dummy filenames be? I've never used Kazaa but would like to install to see if anyone's got the video from that 9/11 special (maybe that's why everyone and their goat is up there right now 🙂 )
 
Bah, I'll stick with XoloX thanks. I can find anything I want, it's small, no spyware and usually quite fast. (The rumors of XoloX's death have been greatly exaggerated, zeropaid.com has a patch.)

Take that, RIAA. You missed the boat on modern media distribution systems. You could have created legitimate/book-legal systems early on, but you hid behind the less-than-enforcable banner of copyright. Now the cat is way out of the bag.

Despite the pathetic speech from that RIAA guy during the Grammys, file sharing need not be considered illegal/immoral/stealing. I buy a lot of independent music and I've read statements from some of these labels that say file sharing is one of their most successful (and cheap!) promotion mechanisms. I could care less about the financial performance of the big labels who promote sh!tty product bands.
 
Look for KaZaa Lite and Download it...freaking great....not going to post a link for that whole getting banned thing
 
Yeah just noticed that earlier today when I was on Grokster
Grokster's great once you remove all the spyware/adware
 


<< Wow...what's beyond Peta? >>


I think it goes:
petabyte
exabyte
zettabyte
yottabyte

Once you get up to 1 exabyte, you've got just about everything there is to store digitally. Of course, there are duplicates in these file-sharing services, but still, out of 171 million files there has to be at least a million unique titles.
 
All those people, and still, with 15 downloads queued up, I have one that's actually downloading, at the phenomenal rate of 6.85k/sec

Kazza, morpheus, grokster all used the fastrack network, then kazza new owners pulled the plug on morpheus becuase they didn't pay there $66,000 lincense bill that was due. Morpheus scrambled to find another client and basically stole gnucleus client which pissed off the creators from what I've read.

Kazza Lite is exactly the same as morpheus and with a million people online you should be able to find what your looking for.
 
A petabyte is really not that much data.

It is 1000 terabytes.

A terabyte is 1000 gigabytes.

I personally have 200 gigabytes of HD space virtually full to the brim.

With 80 gig HD's easily available for ~$100, this much storage isn't a big deal at all for geeks.

Assume 5000 guys like me (say, the undergrad population of a college like MIT) and you easily get a petabyte.
 
yeah, Kazaa has more users than I realized. I just installed it today and was suprised to see so many users. It was easy to get rid of the spyware, and its nice that so far, Kazaa doesn't have the annoying pop ups (and pop up errors) that Morpheus had.
 
Does Kazaa Lite have all the Spyware or what?

Does the standard download of Grokster have spyware, or do you have to install the fake .dll files and what not?
