Jesuis, for your poor kazaa performance due to a low file count,
just make a blank notepad/text file, and duplicate it, then duplicate the two of them, then duplicate the four, then duplicate the eight...etc.
It's a slow process to begin with, but gets quicker and quicker, with more and more files being created.

Now when you have around 4000 of these empty files (I only reccomend blank notepad files, as they are the smallest kind I know how to make, so they don't actually take up much space.)

Put these duplicated files into your "shared" folder, and there you go, it fools kazaa into thinking you have that many files shared, and you get more searches, more results, and HEAPS faster d/ls.
Just a little trick I figured might work, and hey, it did...

I'd reccomend anti-spyware programs to be run after every use (kazaa) though, as vamp said, spyware s&d is a pretty good one.

Most other programs are too insecure. It is VERY easy to get caught using software such as Kazaa/lite, Bearshare, etc.

Also, for those of you who insist on using P2P applications, check out a program called PeerGuardian. It blocks the ports and protocols that the RIAA and MPAA use to access your PC.

I use DietKazaa if absolutely necessarry...

Have started using Bit-Torrent, and couldnt be happier. i got the new Dawn of the Dead, DVD quality, in under 2 hours.

I occasionally fire up WinMx to spread frake pron to the perverts in the world. you would be amazed at some of the titles people download....

So YOU'RE THE ONE who had me downloading that fake kiddie porn!

Oh, wait.....

HEHE! YUP!


I really giot a kick out of watching people agonize on a dial-up line, downloading a movie they thought was going to be a guy nbanging a male german sheppard, then smacking it, only to find out that it was footage from "Homeworld".


One title i used was along the lines of "old man in wheelchair takes dump on young woman sucking pig cock."

When you open the picture, it was all text that said:

You wanted to see a chick get shit on by an old man while sucking a pig dick?!?! You sick FUCK!

I used to get a lot of angry pms....:D

That makes 2 of us Sis. Limewire>Kazaa

Except for music videos Kazaa wins.

roflmao thats funny... will have to try something like that

as for p2p......

stopped using kazaa and some others a while ago, just use ABC Bittorrent client now, and search for the things I want on a few decent torrent sites.

I'd suggest, as already mentioned, running PeerGuardian in the background... weeds out all those nasty i.p addys.

I have Ad-Aware and Spy-bot on my opc, plus diet-k stops kazaa's adware from running. my pc has been free of bullshit for well over a year.

yeah these do the jobe pretty well, there's a new version of Ad-Aware out, lots more to its file type deletion area aswell.
