"Kazaa, gone?"

Accordinging to the Special Reserve news team, Kazaa is nearly gone due to the lawsuits it has been subjected to.

If you ask me Kazaa was not brilliant but you could find a lot on there including certain films that have just been released in the cinema.

Will it carry on regardless or are people switching? Does anyone know of a better p2p file sharing system?

Thanks very much mate, I'll have a go at that.

Audiogalaxy Satellite is *the* best P2P filesharing program for music. However, it can be killed by the courts if they don't release new versions of the software soon.

Other alternatives include Gnutella. This simply CANNOT be shut down, for various reasons it's impossible. Now, most Gnutella clients are poor, especially the type like Bearshare, LimeWire and gtk-gnutella. However, I find that Morpheus is excellent. It's so good, I didn't even realise it was a gnet client. I suggest you try it. I think the URL is MusicCity.com, but you can get it from download.com or search Google easily. It's a popular client.

Its Grokster not Grockster. Just go to download.com and type in grokster and you'll be able to download it.

Just had a look for this "Grockster" and I can't find it. I went to grockster.com and was greeted with some very unsavoury offers!

Can anyone tell me where the official URL is because I can't find it on twocows.com either.

Thanks

Surely they could do quite easily what they did with Napster, and shut it down completely? I'm not advocating this, as I think that Kazaa is a good programme. I mean, it got me the Resident Evil, Blade 2 and Spiderman movies ;D

Meh, there's always gonna be a programme out there for us to download...stuff...[ahem]

With ICQ, can you pause and resume downloads? Oh, and what other downloading clients are there?

Due to Kazaa having spyware from Cydoor and BE, a guy in Germany couldnt be bothered with this.
So he modified Kazaa so that it doesnt install spyware now. He called it Kazaa Lite.
It does install a dummy dll file, but it is nothing as it is only so that when you log on to the network Kazaa thinks you have Cydoor installed so that Kazaa will work.

To get Kazaa Lite go here:

Also if you have the original version of Kazaa you'll need to get rid of the spyware installed on your system.
To do this get Adaware from here:

imesh.com but you didn't hear it from me ;)

Just put Grokster on to my computer. Its the same as the old versions of Kazaa. Hopefully if Kazaa completely disappears then Grokster or a similar program will still be available. I have also seen that Morpheus are bringing out a new program as well.

Kazaa will still be used alot as its installed on peoples computers and can still be used as its peer to peer and cant be stopped. Kazaa will be shut down but this will only stop new people downloading the software. Everyone who already uses will still carry on to use it for a while anyways. But there will always be new programs which will take over from Kazaa.
