BTW, do you know how Kazaa determines which computers connect to which nodes? Does this have anything to do with the IP addresses used? I lived in Spain for 2 months, now in the U.S. and realised that back there I had 3/4 of all downloads in parallel from 5 to 8 users, which I never get in the U.S. In Spain, I had an unusual setup with a public static IP address assigned directly to my PC it, while here I'm brhind a router with NAT (covad.net.) The difference in speed appears to be immensely in favour of my Spain, even though the downstream there was 512K vs. 1500 in the U.S. and despite the antique computer I've used.
I'd really appreciate any comment..
Keep up the good work!
Each time you start Kazaa it may be on a different node, nodes are people who have selected to be a node and as long as they share files and are on all of the time, they are a node. So connecting to nodes depends on who is signed on, where
they are at and so on.
Sharedaddy, you've got some really cool and rare stuff but i'm out of luck! I'm trying to dl about a dozen flix from your lists, not a single kb loaded, in 2 weeks!
I got an idea: can you send me a list of Supernodes you can connect to so I try crawling closer to where you are. You can use Diet Kaza to "jump" then "detect" your supernodes, do it like a few times and post what you get. Post those only which reply fast and return the usernames.
Best of all, if you keep Kazaa running without reloading or disconnecting it, find a supernode that replies really fast, keep it unchanged and post that SN-s name. Every time you reload, select a SN and post its name and address, this way your fans at least know where in principle to look for your files.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
