They're not affiliated with Kazaa and really make it work like it was originally intended (much to Kazaa's chagrin!).Īfter downloading the regular (ad-littered) Kazaa package and installing it, install Diet K and it removes all the adware and spyware first, then blocks all the ads and pop-ups while running Kazaa. There's a 100% free download (it's only about 700+ kb if my memory doesn't fail me) that I got from () called "Diet K". As it turns out, the slow downloads were directly related to all the ads and adware they're throwing at you. I put Kazaa on my HD about a year ago and consequently removed it a week later due to the extremely slow downloads and all the ads. I recommend it to anyone who's not an ass(leave your torrents open after you're finished and help the community). I regularly get speeds of over 150KBps and, unlike other peer-to-peer clients, it forces you to share for at least a time. Other than that, it is definately my favorite way to get files. The only negatives to it are finding what you want and not being able to preview partially downloaded movies. The unequivocal *BEST* peer-to-peer client is BitTorrent. I was thinking of P2P in traditional sense. Most decent hubs have a min of 30GB and the better hubs have minimums of around 100GB. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone with less than 30GB to share though. However, if you can find your way onto a good hub(such as a private university hub on inet2 :) ), it's the best client. Gettinga connection can be troublesome as well. The learning curve for DC is steep though and it can be hard to get accustomed to. mp3, pictures.), but it's excellent for larger files such as full videos, software, or games. Also, DC(Direct Connect) is not very good for small files(i.e. There are a number of reasons why I like Direct Connect, the main one being that it's supported on my platform. But, you're right, without a large share it's useless because you can't get into any of the good hubs. My favorite peer-to-peer client is Direct Connect. If anybody would care to hook me up… (I’ll need the greater part of 2 full weeks to get it). ![]() To not get anything is no good, no good at all. Despite there being many people on Kazaa who have it, I have yet to download so much as a single bit :( This is distressing since at 1.4GB it will take me some 60 hours on my crappy dialup, and even then only a few hours a day. Since I anticipate a new PC over the holidays, and I like the commercial for the game, I thought I would try and get it. I have only downloaded a few games in my life, they are too big and disappear too fast. Lately I have been trying to get the game Call of Duty. I have an almost complete collection of all Adobe software, not that I will ever use it, and none of the video stuff can run on my slow ass PC, but I may need it one day. ![]() Since obtaining my CD-RW drive I have been acquiring more software. I think they are promoting some Fuck the RIAA shirts nowadays, so you know where they stand :) I occasionally visit a website called which keeps tabs on all of the P2P clients out there, the theme being zero paid (get it, all the free stuff you can download?). There is a thread around here somewhere about it. I forget what it is, I don’t have it since I reformatted my hard drive a months back. It has the ability to stealth your connection for what that claim is worth. There is that new one by the Palestinians which worked good, although it is still small. I have used morpheous and bearshare, but I never did get any successful downloads. I tried Direct Connect some time ago, but with only a 2 GB hard drive I didn’t exactly qualify for any of the nodes. I am using win 2000 with Mcafee viruscan if anyone can suggest something I may have done wrong. ![]() I remember I may have tried them like a year ago but you needed some sort of 20 MB windows pack to go along with it? I don’t quite remember. I recently tried to install both edonkey and overnet on my computer, but both crashed on install. Not everybody likes P2P clients, but I think they are the wave of the future.
