Kazaa

precisely. 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!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 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

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 | 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

When I see an uploader doesn't share any (valid) file, I generally eject him/her.

Use overnet instead :) Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.

problem with programs like Kazaa - they open ports on your pc. As mine has a 24 hour ADSL connection I'm not going to trust Kazaa to protect my pc. I take my own measures, including firewalling it. In a better world I wouldn't have to, but unfortunately people will take advantage if they find a hole. I don't want my pc to be used as a robot by crackers to get into other's networks. :suss:
