Jumping Supernodes

[mrlessk]

Hi,
I'm using K-Lite 2.4.3
XP Home

I want to stay in the Traffic window whenever I click File>Jump Supernode.

When in the Traffic window and I click on Jump SuperNode, KL then
switches to a blank window saying Kazaa Lite K++ - [Web] on the top titlebar.
The otherwise blank page displayed only has the word "traffic" in the upper left.

I've been through the FAQ but don't see anything specific to this, or I missed it.

Just a note that under Right Click>Accelerator>Options>Interface>At Startup I have checked where it says
Force Search & Traffic> then go to:Traffic, which is what I want.

How do I get KL to stay in the Traffic window when Jumping SuperNodes?

Thanks for any help,

mrlessk

Look, when jumping supernodes kazaa must re-connect so the main window shows the WEB Tab. The option that you mentioned is: When you start the program it ll force to show the traffic or the search tab.

There is a new version of kazaa k++... Your version 2.4.3 the new one is 2.4.5.3
and you can find it here: Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.5.3
This version has more tools and some bugs fixed.

Gilojeleia and Lite, thank you for your replies.

The reason I asked about this curious behavior in v 2.4.3 is that when I use v2.6 RC22 and I click on Jump Supernode while I am in Traffic it stays in Traffic whereas, as I stated, in v2.4.3 the window switches and I have to manually switch it back to Traffic to see my download progress.

But, if this is normal for v2.4.3 then, so be it.

(Right now I'm torn between using v2.4.3 and v2.6.
I don't like the ads I get on the Search page of v2.6 but I do like the Tab-Search feature.)

Thanks,

I beleive the reason for that is because K-lite 2.6 uses the "soft-jump" method, which doesnt interupt download/ uploads . KLK++ uses "hard jump".

BTW, there shouldnt be a single ad in k-lite 2.6

Ok Lite, I understand what you mean regarding the soft/hard jump method (therefore this is a big plus for v2.6 as far as I'm concerned).

As far as the ads, yes, I didn't think there should be any (that's the whole idea of K-Lite).
When installing 2.6 I very carefully followed all the install instructions I could find in the forums, checking that box that says "install without Ads" (not verbatim), but still ended up with the ads.
I even re-installed v2.6 in case I missed a step and still ended up with ads.

As far as checking the Hosts file entries as you instructed I don't know how to do this.
I'm running WinXP Home and ZoneAlarm 5.1 if that matters.
How would I proceed?

Thanks much,
mrlessk

Your HOSTS file is located at %windir%\system32\drivers\etc on win xp.
Reinstalling ticking the box "clear ad block before installing" should also fix the problem

Ok, I found the Hosts file in DRIVERS>ETC, made a backup copy of Hosts, opened Hosts with Notepad, added your block of entries ("Ensure all these entries are in your HOSTS file:") but it will not allow me to save the changes: it tells me it's "Read Only".

It also wanted to save it as a .txt file and I understand it needs to be without an extension, so I tried saving only as Hosts but still without success.

Any advice? Consider that I have never manually modified my Hosts file before and could use simple instructions.
Like everything else, "it's easy once you know how".

By the way, I see there is a hosts.zip WinZip file in DRIVERS>ETC.
Don't know why or how it got there....could this be relevant?

Thank you,
mrlessk

You have Spybot installed? You can make a file writable by right clicking it and going to properties.

Yes, Spybot, Ad-aware, Spywareblaster, SpywareGuard, etc, etc.

You've piqued my interest. How does Spybot come into play here?

Reply whenever you get a chance.

Thanks again,
