Ok ... Im pretty damn tired of KaZaA :angry: , 'cuz everytime I pick a file, it says something about Need more sources, and that kind of crap ... :huh:
So ... Im tired of never being able to DL ... <_<
So&#33; I wondered... Is there a any internet site, where you can DL from?
It&#39;s just because, when you DL from WWW, it&#39;s much faster ... :D

By the way ... Normally when you DL from KaZaA, the DL speed is like 3 kb/s <_<
And that&#39;s PRETTY FUCKED .... Sorry ... And I have 256 kb/s myself ... So, it shouldn&#39;t be SO slow ... right?

Websites are generally notorious for not giving you what you wanted, and giving you a few things you didn&#39;t want. ;)

Most "download" websites are just link after link to more BS or porno popups. I haven&#39;t had much trouble getting what I wanted on Kazaa, but I also use IRC for alot of newer downloads, plus, it&#39;s faster most of the time.

Tip on Kazaa Lite Speed and PL:
PL has nothing to do with speeds but priority on downloads (only on normal kazaa 2.0.2 users, any lower versions of kazaa will show a PL of 0 to them. So it&#39;s a first come, first serve at that point.)
You can only download as fast as someone else can upload.
You can only download if the other user has an open upload slot.
Make sure you setted up you&#39;re firewall to allow access for Kazaa Lite [K++]
Get rid of Ad-ware/Spyware and the like. (Programs that can do that are Adaware and Spybot)
Make sure your system is optimized for your connection (use a program like Dr. TCP or CableNut)
If your downloading rare files, of course its going to be slow&#33;
More sources usually = better speed
Use tools that came with K++, such as AutoSearchMore, Speeedup, Kazap to find more sources.
Try to control AutoSearchMore and let it rest awhile to avoid disconnection from KL.
You see yourself as K-Lite Master and other K++ users do to, only 2.02 kazaa users see you as Supreme Being. This does not affect anything in anyway. You can also customize it with tools such as resource hacker.
Try pausing and resuming the file.
Try jumping SuperNodes or restarting Kazaa Lite.
PATIENCE&#33;
Speeds vary on what you download sometimes...
and...
GOOD LUCK&#33; :-)
Also try, http://www.speedguide.net or http://www.dslreports.com and test your speed there. If it matches your advertised speeds (what your ISP told you it was) then its not your fault. Also, try programs like Dr. TCP, CableNut or TCP/IP Optimizer...all found on either site.
A hypothesis by The_Great_Dude:
Also, I&#39;m not sure but when the longer you have kazaa lite and not uninstall or reinstall, the speeds seem to be ok, since most of the old members here have no problems. Just a guess.
I said this because, in the beta testing day of k++ beta 1, I saw a post saying Random Nut said speed slowed down when he switched to normal kazaa from kazaa lite for testing purposes. When he went back, his speeds went back to normal. Also if my memory serves me right, backup your network settings, or something like that.

Yeah that makes sense because downloads from the web usually come from DEDICATED SERVERS&#33; Sorry for raising my voice, but you should try to have a little patience and learn more about k-lite and how to use it. It can be quite fast, worry-free, and easy to use. I think you&#39;ll enjoy it in the end.
