|
|
Well I just spent the whole day on my computer, discovering to my disgust that Kazaa had loaded all kinds of spyware s**t that I don't want (and realizing I should have read the TOU a little more closely) and that I would have been better off going with Kazaa Lite. Even though it has been officially shut down as of December. Downloaded ZoneAlarm Pro, BOUGHT a copy over the net, and deleted all kinds of spyware.
They don't call it Lite for nothing. What an improvement.
Get a load of the nerve of Kazaa, too. They bundle spyware into their program like Gator, etc., that steals advertising revenue from other websites, create a p2p program that...''ahem''....technically violates copyright, then they have the nerve to shut down Kazaa Lite because it violates THEIR copyright.
It's been a learning experience.
Anybody had any experience buying software over the net, using a credit card? Gave me the heebee-jeebies but I wanted to try it at least once. Now see if I can order something from Amazon and have it delivered here in Korea. |

I would say you should get off of the FastTrack network and download a real P2P program like Shareaza, Overnet, BitTorrent, or SoulSeek. |

i hear the morpheus 4.0 can connect to all those networks, including fast track.
no spyware, but there is adware, and you do get pop up ads occasionally. |

I've tried many and so far I prefer Overnet. Kaze Lite is good for songs.
I haven't tried Bitorrent though. There's some debate and people who use it seem to think it's the best. It's a little more complicated to get started that's all. |

I always used the Internet at PC bangs before now, so I didn't really care. I'm a little behind on the technology but I learn fast.  |

no spyware, no shit... plus 10 times more search results then any of the others.. serious bro.. you should read in the q&a room more often.
best combination is winmx + bit torrent

Okay. I just started downloading 'Full Metal Yakuza'. We'll see how it goes after I return from the store... |
