Kazaa

[Shiz]

I'm wondering what this bull **** about participation level is. My friend said it raises ur download speeds and that to get it higher lots of ppl have to uplaod things from you

But the thing i dont udnerstand is, i had 38 like 1 hour ago, and now im down to 33....wierd ****

oh is there anything better to use than kazaa for dling ****?
and does anyone know what games i should download, or if i could/should download any virus scanners or anything from kazaa

I use Limewire, primarly because it's the only file sharing device thats Mac compatible but it too, has a lot of users and I would reccommend it. Their are two versions, Limewire Pro and Limewire Basic. You want basic because it's free. It's good though, give it a try. Limewire.com

P.S. *cough*Computer Board*cough*

I use Kazaa... I do not download too many things.. So I don't care what my participation level is. Also, I think it helps if you let people download your music... Yep.

[GameMaster]

I empty my share folder all the time and I would reccommend that others do the same. Keeping files in there slows your internet speed down because those files are being uploaded to other people whenever your online. Plus, you don't want the government finding out what you've stolen.

ok.. this is how it works.. the more integrity rated files you share the higher yopur participation level... it doesnt really get you higher speeds but what it does is...

Ok for example... if theres 3 people downloading of someone with a rare file and he only allows 3 uploads.... and they all have 100 participation level.. and then all of a sudden you come along.. and you wanna download something off that person.. and you have say... 200 participation level.. you bump off the person with the lowest level and take his place.. so you always get a download while the other person has to wait till you finish....

Get it? Im bad at wording things.. so wheatever.... most peopel on kazaa dont have more than like 80 participation level anyway.. jus keep it at like 150 if you can.. mines at like 800 right now :unsure:

[Shiz]

ty man i get it

how come mine went down so much??

and i saw some guy with 1000 :\

emil i pm'd u a while ago lol, have u seen it yet?

[Mushlafa]

yo man.. how come your not on MSN anymore... im on 24/7 usually.. but.. it goes down when you download... its sorta like.. mb downloaded vs uploaded... but... when its really high it goes down really fast...

[Shiz]

cause i got a cable modem and new comp and there was no reason for ****ty msn :)

[Null]

no reason to put up with kazaa or this wierd system it has either. ;)

[Angrist]

The new Kazaa sucks. Oh no wait that was the new MSN... :hmm:

Anyway I liked Kazaa better half a year ago, when it didn't have that annoying pop-up! :mad:

Download 'vince pope - beetroot'. Music from the GC commercials! :D (but be sure to DL the long version of 3 minutes +)

Go to google and search for 'AdAware' and 'Spybot' those should destory the pop ups... unless Kazaa won't operate without them. Then you're screwed.

Hey, thanks for the tip! Those programs get rid of 'all' pop up right?

They get rid of spyware... and they'll get rid of anything they find.

Well, if you download Kazaa off of Kazaa.com it has spyware. If you get Kazaa Lite I don't think it has any. Spyware tracks what you do on the internet, It's not really harmful, but you don't want it on your PC.

[gekko]

It just monitors what you do, possibly logs it. Likely sends it back to Kazaa. Most spyware is nothing bad, more or less for the company to get user information. Some of it is used by law enforcement, like the logs Windows makes. Don't see why people have it so much, your ISP logs everything you do too. If the government wants to bust you, they can.

[Shadow_Link]

So can you download IP blockers or something? :D

[gekko]

Haha, no. There are other ways. Using my ISP as an example, the serial number of the modem has to be registered before you can connect to the network. Also, the MAC address has to be registered. Now, you may use a router and they can't tell what computer behind that accessed what, but they still know which account.

If say... they thought I was downloading kiddie pr0n, they could do to my ISP, view all the records, and see if someone on my account did.

[Shiz]

is there a diff between adaware and spybot??oh i used the adaware thing and deleted all my shiz, but it took something off and kazza didnt work soo

[Mushlafa]

kazaa doesnt work after you run adaware and then delete all the kazaa stuff... had to re-install... it said i had uninstalled a party of kazaa that was needed to run...

Adware searches for spyware.

Spybot searches for more so things that track your history.

[Happydude]
