Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

Given that Kazaa lite supposedly no longer works as well as the latest kazaa, is it worth using kazaa?
What are the risks of it?

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

AFAIK, Kazaa is still stuffed full of spyware etc.

Kazaa Lite does still work, but it is apparently harder to get hold of the client now.

There was a thread a while ago, where someone posted links for KazaaLite.

There's getting less on Kazaa Lite now. I think Kazaa have started a new area which is not accessible with Kazaa Lite.

I'm now using Overnet, which seems miles better than the EDonkey (its Sister program), and the server list seems a lot better.

There are a number of version of Kazaa Lite. The most pupular Lite ++ officially dissapeared following court action, which was odd, since P2P software is primarily used to share copyright software (yep I know there is legitimate shared stuff too).

I suspect a google will find versions available. Or alternatively perhaps use alternative P2P ware such as Shareaza, may in turn give you a link to download the original K++ good stuff.

The freebee download of Kazaa should be avoided, It will give you PC loads of spyware and other such junk. I doubt it's worth paying for the full Kazaa version.

Any P2P software must be run with a current patched and full antivirus software. It's a major risk to your system's health.

Does overnet basic just have ads or is it full of stuff like kazaa?

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

WinMX is very good.

Also worth trying:

Emule - http://www.emule-project.net/

SoulSeek - http://www.slsknet.org/


EDIT:

And...here's a link to a thread showing why you shouldn't use the normal version of Kazaa..... http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ad.php?t=10643

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

I second the comments about WinMX (ok, third them!)

The only time I tried to use Kazaa Lite the first thing it did was switch on my modem and try to dial a premium rate number!

Fortunately I use Ashampoo Unistaller Suite so I was able to remove it totally from my system!

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

On the rare occasions I use P2P I have a copy of winmx I run - seems to work fine - and no spyware (or if there was, adware has removed it).

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.3 still works fine:

Re: Kazaa or Kazaa lite?
 

It does have ads, but they are pretty unobtrusive. They sit in the top right of the window.
