**webe123** · 02-12-2003, 06:24 PM

At Unite the cows on their main page they have an article telling how kazaa is starting to block some music files! THey even have screenshots! Is this true???

well even if it does, we could just zip the files? maybe it's blocking mp3s, that we would solve the prob cuz they'd then be zip/ace/rar files.

I've had no such trouble. I did have a few large (700mb) files that got to the end then said failed, but I just opened "my shared folder" and cut and pasted the avi to another folder and it worked fine. I think if a download fails when it finishes the file will still work as long as you don't clear or restart the download.

The screen caps show a user searching under "all" rather than "audio". If Im searching for music I always choose audio.

Yeah I posted this at another site and they noticed that he was using a very OLD version of kazaa lite, and others posted they had no problems! So I wonder if that has something to do with it???

Hey Paul that kind of language would not tolerated at UTC!

Yeah as far as I can tell nothing is or could be blocked at the moment, if and when that should ever happen I am sure it would be readily apparent to all.
