kazaa lite p2p

[joek]

is this a free download? Is it the best ? if not whats better or free if it is not free . I am aware of the 'problems'

Kazaa Lite (or K++) is free yes. But you may have to do some searching as the company that created it was sued by the people at Kazaa.

I think that its the best P2P app, mostly because of the volume of files, and the lack of spyware.

I will warn you to keep your AV definitions up-to-date. Just because the app doesn't have any spyware, doesn't mean that the people using Kazaa (and K-Lite) aren't sharing infected files.

**Let me warn you however, that discussing illegal materials (ie full games that you download off of Kazaa) is not allowed here, nor should it be**

Here you go.

Thank you for the info I appreciate your input , points noted I have succesfully downloaded it and tried it out ok!

You're welcome .

The only problem with K-lite and variants, is there's no error checking. This means, any file you download may not be complete/error free, and may not work after hours and hours of downloading.
Better to use one of the other P2P types, like Edonkey/Emule et al.
Yes, they're much slower, but at least you get the complete, error free, file.

Yeah thats annoying actually, am after downloading numerous songs and they have been duds, particularily guns n roses songs, can't seem to get ones that work!

Yeah, its free (but I see you've already gotten it). I've never had a problem with errors in Kazaa Lite downloads. I guess I just got lucky though. I really only dl'd once in a while, but KL always was perfect.

But I don't use it anymore anyway. I don't mean to sound all goody-too shosed here, but I realized that even though the RIAA is a piece of ****, stealing from them isn't a good statement of discontent. I'd rather see everyone boycott CDs. But I don't want to really start that debate again.

I don't do all that much downloading with K++ anymore either.

And you're right about eDonkey reboot, I think it's much better. Just my two cents.
