Welcome to the board&#33;

Some of the reasons for KMD slowing your computer down are the huge amount of 3rd party crapware that comes with it.

If you actually sit down and read the User Licence, you&#39;ll see that it gives Sharman Networks, the people who distribute KMD, access to your CPU. If your computer isn&#39;t being used, Sharman can pretty much do what they want with it, and I imagine they sell the processing power of the millions of suckers who use it to companies who need some hardcore computing power, much like the SETI@home project.

DO yourself a favour and get a p2p app which is not called Kazaa Media Desktop. Pretty much any other program is better than KMD. And don&#39;t PAY for any p2p program - the whole idea is that sharing files should be FREE&#33;



Edit: I forgot - PLEASE TAKE YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

I&#39;ve just started sharing mp3s. Didn&#39;t know there were free p2p nets out there. I bought something called KaZaa Lite K++ and I think it was a mistake. I mean I share nearly 3000 files and it appears Lite K++ upload twenty to twenty five files to every file I download my uploads are fast and most downloads are sloooooow. Sooo got any suggestions?

PS anybody know where I can download Billie Peek Music (most of my old records died in a truck mishap).

You sad sad soul. I feel so sorry for you, that you would pay for music files/software/movies. Please download any of the P2P programs directed from this forum. God have mercy on your soul. [/b][/quote]
Here we go again, sneer sneer sneer. I would rather help the person instead.
It&#39;s true what disenfranchised said, and I think that it is getting harder to find files on k-lite than it was a year ago.

Personally I use Shareaza, but it is quite complicated and is really for advanced users...

You call yourself advanced user? And you imply the original poster is not an advanced user? You should stop being so boastful all the time, as it&#39;s much more useful to give people advice instead of sneer down at them.

Thank you&#33; Considering, orcutt989 is a Moderator and even after switching from KaZaa to Emule and reconfiguring my router so I&#39;ve a "high ID" I find much more uploading then downloading, I&#39;ve been under the impression that technonerds are are smart ass leeching punks. I appreciate being informed that that description only apt in some cases.

No, I don&#39;t call myself an advanced user - I said I use Shareaza, which has so many fucking options and tweaks in it that is really easy to muck it up, which I do on a regular basis. I&#39;m still leaning how it works, but I appreciate the extra features.

Yes, I am implying that the original poster is not an advanced user - anyone who has been using this board, slyck.com or any other news site about file sharing for the past...year, would know that KMD is crap. I mean come on&#33; K Lite was a hacked version of KMD in the first place - why would anyone bother to hack it, take out the spyware, improve the features and make it generally more functional if it didn&#39;t make K-Lite a better application than KMD?&#33;?

I can&#39;t believe people are still discussing whether KMD is better than any of the other programs with "Kazaa" in the title.

I&#39;m not trying to be boastful - I&#39;m pointing out that if anyone bothered to read the KMD Licence Agreement supplied when you install the program they would realise how invasive KMD is. I am perfctly happy to talk to anyone about the different p2p programs, their networks, protocals, encryption features or anything else - but the first step is STOP USING KMD.

Were you aware that since KMD collects so much data about you, they can probably find you if they needed to? Their Licence Agreement says that KMD users will be held personaly liable if Sharman Networks is sued and/or prosecuted. Considering that Sharman is currently in court, if they wanted to, they could call you up and tell you to help bay their legal bill.

Being told to pay a legal bill that may be worth millions of dollars is more important to me than any "tests" showing K-lite is better than KMD, which I knew anyway.

That is my advise to the noobs.
