Kazaa Lite help needed please
Trinity
UK
Hi Guys,
Wonder if you could help this damsel in distress
I used to use DC but cos I have to connect in passive mode a lot of the hubs won't let me in anymore And I've tried WinMX but all I'm getting is fake files
So I thought I'd try Kazaa Lite.
This is where you lot come in
I'm on 512k down/256 up - ADSL through a Nat Router.
I've tried to download but my download speed is never over 5kb.
I don't mind sharing but don't want 100 people uploading at one time. So I want to limit it to about 10/20
I've also noticed that when I am downloading my net is mega slow. It's like surfing on dial up!!!
Basically any tips or help you can give will be very much appreciated
Thanx in Advance
Trini xx

You downloads are slow since you just started sharing. The more you share the higher rating you get and the higher in the queue list you are. With K++ you get a rating of 1000 and you're always on top. You can also disable uploading (although then what's the point of file sharing if you're not gonna share). As for DC and passive mode, just try DC++.
However, I do think you should post a pic of yourself in the members pictures thread. That way we can all see who we're talking to.
// Edit: Nice pic, Trinity! You definitely look different than I had imagined.
/me had pictured a female Shorty with many very visible piercings. :)
Done ...Its on the yearbook thread!
Blackhawk! Thanx for the tip on DC & K++... I'll try that fo sure
Don't worry if the numbers in your Trafic window look kind of low. I'm on a 512k, and the most total bandwith I seem to ever get from and p2p program is 75k. Remember that your download speed is also effected by the other person's upload speed. It's very rare to find a user to download from that you can get more than 5-10k out of, because they are already uploading and downloading with others.
Also, don't listen to these guys. K-lite is the best p2p file sharing software. I've tried them all, and this is the only one that I don't absolutely refuse to use for one reason or another.
The best thing to find real files with is eMule (or some other eDonkey network client). It may be slower than the other networks, but you will more often find what you are looking for and it is rarely, if ever, fake.

What I was refering to on Kazaa (or Lite) was with Programs or Movies, 90% of them are fake or just wrongly named.

Took forever though. :rolleyes2

Armogeddon! I think I got the hint
Thankyou for all the help, but no matter what I do my speeds are staying low and its slowing my surfing down, which is definetly not on! :shakehead
So I've tried DC++ and having huge success
Thankyou for those of you that have offered help and advice.
Oh and for the record... I got Dido in perfect working order first time
So true, i use eMule and Bittorent pretty much exclusivly, not had any fake files since i stopped using Kazaa
True Kazaa did tend to get faster speeds but reliability is much more important to me and i find the Donkey network a pretty decent speed my download/uploaded data is around 50/50% which is very fair to me
Is passive mode my only option?
I forgot all about the DC++ guide I was doing for you. I will get it sorted for you tomorrow.
Did I ever tell you you're one of my heroes? Especially for the fact that you have Judge Dread in your sig!
Trinity,
I would also like to suggest WinMX, Shareaza, and BitTorrent for your P2P needs. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses. Although with Suprnova gone, BT has taken a hit in usefulness.
I was just there at like 4AM this morning.
It has like 6 mirrors, have you tried any of the mirrors?
Thanks for joggin' my old memory!
Found a working mirror here:

I do have visible piercings you just can't see them on there.
Preacher...I'm using passive mode in DC++ and doing brilliantly
have you tried the Suprnova website and BitTorrent? While you can't search, they have some "amazing" stuff. I'll have to try passive mode for DC++ then. Although it will be hard, for those of you who know me, passive isn't usually in my vocabulary!:o
used to use DC but no one shared crap and never had what I wanted
hesitant to use k++......
anything else?

I think you'll find more than just BT live albums.
