Yeah, I prefer Kazaalite also.
Interesting to know there's still one ad, though. Oh well, as long as it doesn't screw up my system, I'm okay.

Yeah, that's why I stopped using KaZaA. One of it's ad/spyware products screwed up my PC, so it started throwing out the blue screens of death at random times. Uninstalling KaZaA, and covering everything with AdAware fixed it.

I haven't had those problems with Lite though, so I'll just stick with it - although I do use WinMX as backup.

Yay, I have every South Park episode ever made downloaded now.

*doesn't worry about it*

Go KaZaA Lite!

GO SEARCH ENGINE AND TEN MINUTES! FIND ALL THE CRAP, INCLUDING MUSIC, YOU'D EVER NEED!

I hear that Gnutella is good, tho. I wouldn't know, since mp3s are a, er, secondary interest.

A dummy dll...One question:Why?[/i]

The dummy dll held all the key info for the spyware crap in Kazaa. They altered it so the stuff doesn't initialize. Although it disables some of the menu items.

Actually, newer versions of AdAware can differentiate between the dummy dll and the real one.

and unfortunately I can't use p2p sharing because of the uni's damn firewall. anything not on http port 80 gets blocked. and they have a frightening policy on port tunneling...

Hee hee, I can install and run WinMX at Uni... shame there's bugger all content compared to KaZaA...
