Kazaa
-
I was just thinking, kazaa allows you to download from several people at once, but i thought you can only download from 3 at a time, yet it manages to download from 5 or more at a time :confused:

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseI prefer bearshare myself. I believe with Kazaa, you can change the option for the number of simultaneous downloads. Haven't used it in a while.

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseThere's no real limit on the number of simultaneous downloads you can have going at once. However, there was a bug in IE that limited it to 2 or 3. But that's only in IE. Todd Smith

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseprecisely. there are things you can do though - for one thing, take anything you have downloaded and put them in a different folder - no point having your bandwidth chewed by people downloading from you. Also, make sure to exit from Kazaa when you aren't actively downloading - that way others can't find you. ;)

It is a definite no-no to run BITMAP as a user command. Your nose will grow, your lawn will die, your hair will fall out, and your first-born will marry an aardvark. Shame on you! -

Shame on you!or you could go into the options, and set the option that means others arent allowed to download from you. ;p but with their new system, the more people download from you, the higher your participation, and people with a higher participation, are put ahead of people in queues than people with lower participation. :mad:

There's an option to disable uploads:goto "Tools" select "Options" select the "Traffic" tab and check "disble sharing files with other kazaa users"

There is a registry setting that will change this, you can find it on http://www.speedguide.net/[^] in the Win2K/XP Tweaks section.

Sonork | 100.21142 | TheEclypseYou get 100% participation level by downloading yourself a big file (over 800Mb) using the localhost technique I have shown. Kazaa 2.0 exclusive only. Also KazaaLite 2.0 has been released lately (ad free).

Agreed.:cool: If you don't share, it's unethical to use K*z*a at all.

If the max connection is per server, how can you tweak that setting on the client? :confused: /M
