I need a new file sharing program and came across Kazaa Lite. I have a couple of questions.

1: Where can I download the most recent version?

2: Any spyware?

3: Can I get hacked using it? (I've had some bad experiences with iMesh )

4: What files can I download with it?

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

1. http://free.hostdepartment.com/k/kazaalitetk/

2. No

3. Just like any program that has an active connection, you can be hacked. You should be behind a firewall anyway

4. Anything you can download using Kazaa.

http://www.kazaa.com/us/index.php

2: Any spyware?

KaZaa Lite does not have spyware....however, I'm not sure it functions properly anymore. KaZaa now has a Version 2.0 available and they want everyone to use that version instead of the "Lite" version. I started having lots of problems (in Connecting and Finding Sources) with KaZaa Lite, so I "upgraded" to the 2.0 version.

My understanding is that 2.0 DOES contain spyware. I automatically ran Ad-Aware right after installing to remove what I could.


3: Can I get hacked using it? (I've had some bad experiences with iMesh )

ANY peer-to-peer software runs that risk, because you're already allowing remote access to your computer. Unless you have your system Firewalled, I would be very careful and on the alert.

4: What files can I download with it?

Whatever suits your taste. Audio, Video, Games, and Software

I really like KaZaa better than the other P2P software I've tried. Connections are fast and reliable and downloads go very smoothly (even with a 56k modem).


Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for your help everyone.

/)K, I don't think I am doing anything illegal. I download songs to try them out and if I like them I go out and buy the CD.

Well.. last time I posted a topic about Kazaa the topic was closed by Cloudy who said 'discussing this was against the rules and regulations'. So I advise you not to post anything about it in the future, GokuZool..

The use of KaZaA is hardly illegal, Link.

So... Time for a guessing contest, no rewards attached. Which one of the mods will close this topic and at what time will it happen?

I'm guessing Mouse at 5:50 AM local server time.

Wrong!!!

I have no problem with people discussing how to install and use legal software. However, if you start using this forum to link to warez sites or try to arrange to swap cracked or pirated software via file sharing programmes, you will be given a very quick and severe cyber-slap [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

However, others may not agree with my stance, so if in doubt, take such questions to e-mail or MSN.
