View Full Version : KazaaPlus question

Would someone please inform me about the pay service from Kazaa? Its called "KazaaPlus" and it costs $29.95. I want to sign up for the free service, but the free service implies you have to receive ads and so on. The paid KazaaPlus is adfree, faster downloads and so on. Here's the link:

www.kazaa.com/us/products...oadKMD.htm

Is the pay service worth it? Sounds like at the very least it'll prevent spyware from being downloaded.

I know I still have Kazaa lite...but you can't download it anymore. So basically if you have kazaa lite, you're in the good and if not, you're screwed.

Duff, so I'd be better off just paying the $30 bucks and getting the more secure, ad free version, right? Thanks for your input.

PM your email and I'll send you KazaaLite. It's free.

Kazaa Plus is fine.....you don't get loaded down with pop ups and spyware.


I like WinMX better. (I have both)

I found KazaaLite for anyone who is interested. I personally hate WinMX and never get many results when using it... anyways, here's the link for KazaaLite 2.4.3

I find what I'm looking for 99% of the time on WinMX.

If that included porn, though, then I guess it would be 0% of time.

Okay, I'm downloading KazaaLite...thanks so much for the link, BB!

LOL

Maybe it's changed in the last 3 months or so, but the last time I used WinMX it seemed like I was having to get in a long queue for 95% of the files I downloaded, whereas with KazaaLite the number's more like 50%.

One really bad thing about Kazaa is that there are a lot of RIAA fake mp3s on it since file integrity is checked by hashing only the first 128 KB of the file. :(

I use K-lite, but my husband uses IRCspy.

piolet is a good service.

bittorent is a different type of downloading tool that you can use for albumns through sites like suprnova.org . i like it a lot.

I put up the $30 bucks for Kazaa Plus about three months ago and it works well. Eventually, I've found every song I've looked for. But yeah, the fake files suck.

P.S.

Haven't tried searching for porn.

The KazaaLite doesn't work, Grande? KazaaLite is way better than Kazaa Plus, and is free. It searches the exact same networks, and offers other services like letting you spoof your IP (so the record companies can't trace your ass), jump to different supernodes, and have the highest download priveleges automatically. Don't pay $30 for that shit when something better is available for free.

The free version of Limewire includes Cydoor. You don't want that crap on your system.

Yeah that's it...from what I remember, record companies make those fake files so people can't download them.

ah, yes...the fake songs screech. Especially when you're listening with headphones.

I always wondered why some would do that and some wouldn't. I kinda figured it was something like that....

I don't know. I don't use those programs. I just check the timestamp of every file and delete the suspicious ones.

I aint got the huevos to download that shit free.

Ever since the story of them going after the 12 year old, and offering zero amnesty, I retreated and got Napster.

I've got something called Kazaa Lite K++.

It's awesome when searching for anything.

I don't think people use kazaa anymore. Limewire pretty much took over.

I still use it ... it does what it needs to do. Funny thing ... we were talking about when all that downloading stuff first started the other day, and I remembered you were the one that introduced me to Grokster ... a long time ago. :wow

So, what does everyone use now? :lol

Ok. So what's the best virus, spyware, etc. free download site to use. If the best site to use is a pay site, then which one?

I asked the Geek Zone the same question, their suggestions are here:

Torrents seem to be the best way to go nowadays. Like stretch said earlier, uTorrent is a great BT client for Windows. Vuze is good too if you know how to turn off all the crap they added when they changed its name from Azureus.
