Hi all,
Recently I reinstalled my harddrive and wanted to put Kazaalite back into operation, only to find that it's unavailable now.
I want something with no 'spyware', but all the stuff I look at at Downloads.com- when I read the reviews, seems to have stuff embedded, even when it claims to be free of.
It's funny thinking about the thread here a while back about how, "I love Kazaa," but all the reviews of Kazaa on Downloads.com are very negative now.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I still use it and if you want a copy of it...

Another group has taken over Kazaalite and it's called Resurected Kazaalite and still is the same, without the spyware and so on.

There are however still sites with Kazaalite still available (versions prior to the discontinued sources). Get the "original" here

Or if you want a new program with the same functionality, get e-Donkey or e-Mule .... easily found via Yahoo search

I use Limewire and it's great for downloading music... but I've been searching for various movies and stuff and get the most ... ah, colourful choices

[shawner88]

overnet is the best systmen out there. overnet.com

Bit torrent is simply the best. If you've never used it, I would strongly suggest trying it. It's not like Kazaa, really, in that you aren't connected to a network of users at all times. Insetad, you go to a website hosting .torrent files and download said torrents and the program connects you to different people who are sharing whatever you're looking for. I use the torrent application 'ABC,' which stands for 'Another Bittorrent Client.' I'm not sure where you can download it, but just search for it.

www.suprnova.org is the best site I've seen as far as torrent files goes, although if anyone would like to correct me, feel free to do so. I know some people complained that it was too hard to find anything on the site, but you'll notice in the upper link bar in the center there is a search function. The only problem with it is that you have to turn off your firewalls, leaving you susceptible to evil hacker attacks. I can count on 0 hands the number of evil hacker attacks I've had, if that makes it less scary.

In addition, apparently, if you're big into IRC there are numerous release groups torrenting pretty much anything, from the world curling championships to my mother knitting me a sweater.

I have another post in the thread about the movie Lost in Translation this lists the sites where you can download ABC and the torrent sites including Suprnova ....

And you DO NOT need to turn off your firewalls to use bittorrent. You can however, as many suggest open a few limited ports, which should in all practical sense NOT put you at risk of anything fishy ... and even then it's NOT necessary entirely depending on your computer configuration, whether you have a router, etc.

I've gotten nearly 10 PM's asking questions about what overnet is ...

Well some here talk about Overnet as if it were a totally different thing they what others, including myself, have mentioned.

Overnet is basically a network, a protocol as it were, that is a sharing method for everything, anything that can be on a computer that is.

Overnet IS the e-donkey network; e-donkey is the original method on the network. It is not a different location. e-mule and e-donkey, including other programs are only that, the PROGRAM that allows you to search the overnet network of users.

So when I say, or someone else says that e-donkey or e-mule are an option to Kazaa ... and then someone else says NO NO, it's crap and slow and you should use Overnet .... well they don't know what they are talking about ... it's the SAME thing ...

So pick what application you like, but again, Kazaa is still available if wanted

Though I still endorse BitTorrent .... but what is available is very different on the whole from what you'll get on the other P2P methods

i just tried overnet (edonkey).. i ran some d/ls for 2 days.. it is crap



the best is by far winmx

winmx allows you to do everything you want. in regards to options, winmx allows you to treat d/ls seperately when allocating bandwidth or connections. it hads a great variety of stuff.. problem it does have is that it doesn't offer a option to share software.. rename the stuff to an .avi or .mp3 and it can be shared and also searched and d/led in the same format and renamed back into it's .exe or.zip or whatever.

winmx is so superior to these other p2p progs when it comes to configurations it is not funny... plus there are tons of aftermarket programs that work together with winmx to help you decide which transfers start when and not allowing transfers to leeches..

only real downside is you might have to wait a little for the transfers.. it can't be too bad, in 5 months i have saved 220gb, thats not mentioning the probable 200-300gb i have burnt or deleted. the trick is to share everything, then trade with others to get your d/l started straight away. i share about 200gb and if i want something somebody else has, i message them and they usually find something i have to arrange a trade..


you would be crazy if this is a serious past time and you don't try and learn about the functions of winmx. craps all over on kaaza too.

and with a program like virtualdub you can almost instantly tell whether the file is what you 'think' you are getting.

i just spent 2 days raping bittorrent too.. too much hassle, i got a few things but life is much easier on winmx...

of course it is an idea to try all avenues to find the file you are looking for but i suggest you sit with winmx as your base p2p prog.
